Welcome to our brand new website, over the next few weeks more features will appear, so please keep watching.
Howgill Family Centre are a registered Charity who have been operating in the Communities of Whitehaven and the surrounding areas of Copeland for 35 years.
We currently employ over 60 staff and 40 volunteers delivering services in the North Copeland area. Our headquarters and administrative centre are located, as our name would suggest, in Howgill Street in the heart of Georgian Whitehaven – our building has a fascinating history and dates from 1736.
What We Do
Howgill Family Centre started with a group of parents who got together to provide pre-school activities for children up to age five in a building on Howgill Street.
This remains a key element of what the organisation does today, all be it on a very much larger scale.
We provide pre-school and nursery for children from two years old in Whitehaven, Cleator Moor and Egremont, as well as carer and toddler groups, playscheme, playbus sessions, baby massage, musical activities, toy library and much more besides that.
Today Howgill offers activities for all children up to the age of nineteen as well as a range of initiatives that parents can enjoy or turn to if they need support of any kind.
To sum up, Howgill Family Centre, is exactly that – a resource for every member of the family from before they are born until they come along to our grandparents support group, with you every step of the way.
Where we work
