We help families thrive by connecting parents and carers with essential support during the crucial early years and key moments throughout childhood - making family life a little easier when you need it most.
City Family is a purpose driven, social organisation, developed as the legacy vehicle of the ten year Lottery funded A Better Start Southend. Our core values underpin the decisions we make and the way that we work.
Our focus is on the early years and key life moments throughout childhood — the times that shape a child’s future. Whether you need advice, activities, or specialist support, we’re here to help.
We have a team of people offering support to families like yours. Whatever your journey, you’re not alone. City Family is here to help you and your child thrive.
Our City Family YourFamily Information and Guidance Service is now open six days a week, including evenings and Saturdays. If you are expecting a baby or have children, you can contact one of our Navigators for support, information, and connections to local services and organisations. We support families living in Southend, Castle Point and Basildon.

As part of the Women in the Workplace project, funded by DHSC and run by Pregnant Then Screwed and Best Beginnings, we are excited to share that we have received an Accreditation for the Empowered Foundations training with a focus on women's reproductive health in the workplace. As part of the training, our managers accessed modules based on the topics of pregnancy loss, fertility, flexible working and eliminating bias to better understand the use of language, ways to support members of staff and increase knowledge base around these specific topics. Here at City Family we are striving to improve the support available for the women in our workplace
