We changed our service back in September last year; We put £1 million pounds investment into this hub, And of course we put an additional £1.6 million across the youth service, Across the county, really providing good services for everybody.
The important thing about this hub is that it is the fact that it is open all day; So we’re getting the families during the day, So they can come along have coffee, have a chat, talk to people, and find out all the issues. And, actually, it’s a one stop shop, because it’s not just about the normal children problems; We’ve brought all our services together, to really make sure we’re proving good services for everybody.
All credit to the staff, who are actually providing the plans; Of course, we have had to make reductions to our budget, because, obviously everybody knows the financial situation. But, by redesigning the service, we’ve actually brought all the services together;
We’ve reduced the management costs, and, actually, we’ve increased our sessions by 14%, which is really good news for the youth of Oxfordshire.
Thank you very much, and welcome to Witney Early Intervention Hub. It’s a really fantastic building, and it’s a very exciting day for us all.
This is an opportunity, to celebrate not only our ambitions for the new service, and not just this fantastic new building, but importantly also the people who are benefitting from it, And that’s the real main message, those people who are going to benefit.
We, all of us, will only succeed, if people like you, the workers, the staff, the managers, the people that do the gardens, the leadership, the political leadership, the cross party, in terms of health, crime, everything else, leadership All believe that we are going to help people everywhere.
The West Oxfordshire Hub is a great example of what Government and local councils can achieve when they work together.
This new building, and the important services it will deliver for families and young people, Highlights the Government and Oxfordshire County Council’s commitment to early intervention.
Hubs like this help families and young people get the support they need to tackle the problems that are stopping them from getting on in life. I look forward to seeing how this new building and all who work tirelessly within it will help build a brighter future for local families.
