🍂 ꜱᴜᴩᴩᴏʀᴛ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴀᴜᴛᴜᴍɴ 🍂
The Coastal Community Hub & The Coastal Collective can help - we are only a message away.

​Autumn is meant to be a time of crisp weather, cozy routines, and family moments, but the seasonal change can bring immense financial pressures. With the return to school, colder weather, and changing routines, families often face rising food bills, energy costs, and the extra worry of providing for their households as winter approaches. If you’re struggling this autumn, it’s important to know that you are not alone, and help is available.
The Trussell Trust foodbanks are here to support individuals and families in need. They understand that asking for help isn’t always easy, but their mission is to ensure that no one has to go hungry or suffer silently during this season, or any time of year.

​ʜᴏᴡ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʀᴜꜱꜱᴇʟʟ ᴛʀᴜꜱꜱ ꜰᴏᴏᴅʙᴀɴᴋ ᴡᴏʀᴋꜱ
The Trussell Trust operates a nationwide network of foodbanks, offering emergency food supplies to those facing hardship. These foodbanks don’t just provide food - they also offer a listening ear, advice, and signposting to further support services.

​ʀᴇꜰᴇʀʀᴀʟꜱ
To access a foodbank, you’ll need a referral The Coastal Community Hub and The Coastal Collective can provide this. You can message us through our respective pages.

​Yᴏᴜ ᴅᴇꜱᴇʀᴠᴇ ꜱᴜᴩᴩᴏʀᴛ
It’s important to remember that struggling financially isn’t a reflection of your worth or capabilities. The Trussell Trust foodbanks are run by compassionate volunteers who care deeply about helping their communities. Their services exist to provide relief in difficult times, and using them is a step toward regaining stability - not a sign of failure.
​ʜᴇʟᴩɪɴɢ ᴏᴛʜᴇʀꜱ
If you’re in a position to give back, consider donating to your local foodbank or volunteering your time. Foodbanks rely on the generosity of others to stock their shelves and ensure they can meet the growing demand, particularly as the autumn weather sets in and household expenses begin to rise.

​ᴅᴏɴ’ᴛ ꜱᴜꜰꜰᴇʀ ɪɴ ꜱɪʟᴇɴᴄᴇ
The autumn months can amplify feelings of stress, isolation, or despair, especially when financial struggles are involved. But support is closer than you think. Contact the Trussell Trust foodbank network or refer someone in need.
This autumn, let’s focus on community, compassion, and making sure no family feels forgotten. Help is available, and there’s no shame in reaching for it. Let’s make this season a little brighter and easier for everyone.

Feeling a bit like a zombie? 🥱 Whether you’ve had a full night’s sleep or (more likely) none at all, you’re welcome here. We know that parenting is a "figure it out as you go" kind of job, and sometimes it just helps to know you aren’t doing it alone.

This group is for babies not yet confidently walking 🍼 - and for the parents who are trying their absolute best!

📍 The Coastal Community Hub (The Family Hub) Clarendon Rd North, FY8 3EE

No need to book – just show up with your little one! 💛

We’re a laid-back, friendly group. We totally get how nerve-wracking that first visit can feel, but once you step through the door, you’ll be greeted with a warm smile and people who truly "get it." 😊

✨ What to expect:
Baby weighing (for peace of mind)
Info on our infant massage classes
Tea & Coffee (the essential fuel!) ☕
A chance to chat with other parents who are also navigating the highs and lows of life with a little one 💬
No judgment, no pressure - just a space to breathe and connect.
📩 Got questions? Drop us a DM or email: [email protected]

The toys have officially crashed for the weekend! 🧸😴
Our first Thursday back after the summer break was a total whirlwind - so busy, but so good.
​Thank you all for the kind words. You know you’re doing something right when people say they actually missed the place! It was incredible to see everyone back together, smiling, catching up, laughing, and singing (even if I was struggling to remember the lyrics... 🎶🙈).

​🗓 Family Drop-In returns full time next week!
​When: Wednesday & Thursday. 9:00am - 11:30am
​Special Guest: Anna from Talking Therapies will be joining us on Thursday!
​Enjoy the weekend, and see you all soon!
