Working with the community to provide a range of services!

The friendly Family Centre based in Beanhill is one of the busiest centres in the city. Services at the Centre include a nursery, drop-in sessions, home visits, advice and support, courses and workshops, as well as providing a space for local community groups.

Exciting plans for the future will see the integration of the Moorlands Family Centre, Moorland Infant School, Nursery School and Beanhill community meeting place into one campus to create a Sure Start Children's Centre. The new centre will have more modern facilities and more flexible space.

Do you rely on the goodwill of a colleague to drop everything and give you a hand?

Or, maybe you rely on a family member of your service user to accurately convey all the details of your message?

And what happens in an emergency...?

In partnership with other key organisations in the public & voluntary sectors, at Milton Keynes Council we have decided we can do better than that. Milton Keynes Community Language Service
