At The Hub, we see parents and carers as part of our wider family. Our Parents’ Pages are here to keep you informed, connected and supported throughout your child’s journey with us. You’ll find everything you need in one place, from term dates and newsletters to policies, guidance on online safety, and other useful resources. Simply click the links to visit the relevant pages and access the information you need.
We want you to feel confident, included, and up to date with all that’s happening across our Hub sites, so you can share in celebrating every success, big or small. If there’s anything you can’t find, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team — we’re always happy to help.
Hello, my name is Lindsey.
I am the Family Support Worker with The Hub, a role I’ve been in since January 2025. Before this, I worked across the county for 30 years, supporting families of all shapes and sizes. For the past 12 years, I’ve been based in Coalville, working closely with the majority of primary schools.
I always say I have the best job in the world—where else do you get to meet such amazing people and spend time helping them?
I tell parents and carers that I’m here to help in any way I can—whether that’s offering advice and support with routines or behaviour, attending meetings or appointments with you, or simply being a listening ear.
Forms and paperwork can sometimes feel daunting, but all you need to do is reach out, and I’ll do my very best to help.
Sometimes, all you need is a chat over a cuppa—a problem shared is a problem halved! And if not, we’ll work through it together. I do love a good plan and a list.
At The Hub, we want parents and carers to feel informed, supported, and part of our wider community. Throughout the year, we host and attend a range of events that give families the chance to access advice, share experiences, and connect with others. These include SEND roadshows, parent drop-in sessions, and community events across the region — as well as links to wider opportunities that parents can attend independently. Whether you’re looking for practical advice, wellbeing support, or simply the chance to meet others on a similar journey, these events are a great way to stay connected and empowered.
We’re not directly affiliated with these external events or organisations, but we share their commitment to supporting families and think the work they do is fantastic. We encourage all parents and carers to get involved, join the conversation, and make the most of the support available.
At The Hub, we know that physical wellbeing plays a vital role in overall health, happiness and learning. Staying active doesn’t have to mean structured exercise, it can be as simple as going for a family walk, dancing in the kitchen, or playing a game outdoors. Encouraging regular movement at home helps children build confidence, release energy and improve focus, while also supporting emotional wellbeing. When families get active together, it strengthens relationships and sets a great example for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Here are a few simple ways to get started:
Go for a short daily walk or bike ride together.
Try stretching, yoga, or mindfulness movement after dinner.
Have a family dance-off or play your favourite upbeat music.
Turn household chores into mini fitness challenges.
Spend time outdoors — gardening, ball games, or exploring local parks.
Every bit of movement makes a difference — the key is to keep it fun, consistent, and something you can enjoy together as a family. For more tips, take a look at the infographic below
We endeavour to raise funds via grants, fundraising events and the profits from the tuition. This helps to promote the services and support those who are not yet with an EHCP that need financial support with accessing a suitable learning experience for learners with SEND or SEMH difficulties. This means we can offer the support that schools are not able to provide.
We assist learners who are not financially able to fund private assessments, or tutoring services. Furthermore, awareness building will make the wider community aware of our services and what we have to offer.
We are offering a discounted pricing structure for our service for those who are not able to finance their own assessments.
We will fund some of the placements and assessments from the CIC to help those in need via a secure pot of funds which are allocated via a criteria list that will help us determine who is most in need. This will be monitored and updated quarterly and feedback on our community aspect will be published on our social media and website to promote the support we are offering.
Operations Manager
I’m Ellie and I have a background in Mental Health Management with a degree in Sociology and Psychotherapy. This has given me a strong understanding of the importance of emotional wellbeing, positive relationships and supporting individuals with a wide range of needs.
As Operations Manager at The Hub, my role involves supporting the day-to-day running of the organisation, working closely with our management team and staff to ensure everything runs smoothly and our learners receive the best possible support.
My background in mental health has shaped my approach to management. I believe that creating a positive, supportive environment is just as important for our staff as it is for our learners. When people feel valued, listened to and supported, they are better equipped to thrive.
I’m passionate about ensuring The Hub continues to be an inclusive and welcoming environment where every young person is recognised as an individual, with their own strengths, abilities and aspirations.
One of the things I find most rewarding about my role is helping to create an environment where our team can do what they do best – support young people, build their confidence and help them achieve their potential.
I’m proud to be part of The Hub and to contribute to an organisation that puts the wellbeing, development and success of its learners at the heart of everything it does.
Director of Finance & DSL
I’m Scott and I have a degree in Sports Science from Loughborough University and am proud to be part of the leadership team at The Hub.
As Director, my role involves overseeing the day-to-day running of The Hub, with a particular focus on financial management, budgeting and ensuring our resources are used effectively.
A key part of my role is helping to ensure The Hub remains financially sustainable, allowing us to continue developing our provision, investing in resources and creating new opportunities for our learners.
I work closely with our management team to support the smooth running of the Hub, making sure we balance the practical and financial aspects of running The Hub with what matters most, providing the best possible experience for our young people.
One of the things I enjoy most about my role is seeing how the work that happens behind the scenes can make a real difference to our learners, whether that’s through new equipment, improved facilities or opportunities they might not otherwise have access to.
I’m incredibly proud to be part of The Hub and to contribute to an organisation that is committed to helping every young person feel supported, valued and able to achieve their potential.
Director of Education, SENDCo & DSL
Hi,
I’m Vanessa, the Founder and Director of Education at The Hub Educational Services CIC, as well as the SENDCo and a Designated Safeguarding Lead.
I founded The Hub because I believe every young person deserves the opportunity to feel understood, supported and successful in their education. I’m passionate about creating an inclusive, nurturing environment where children and young people can build confidence, discover their strengths and achieve things they may never have thought possible.
One of the things I love most about my role is seeing our learners grow in confidence, overcome challenges and celebrate their achievements, however big or small.
I’m incredibly proud of the team we’ve built at The Hub and the difference we strive to make for our learners and their families every day.
For me, The Hub is more than an educational setting. It’s a family where everyone deserves to feel valued, supported and that they belong.
