Hillfoots Family Centre is a purpose-built centre providing a range of services for children and families in the Hillfoots area. We cover all the Hillfoots towns plus Coalsnaughton, Fishcross and Sauchie.
Our mini-bus covers all these areas, providing transport to and from the centre where possible.
The centre provides support for parents through group work, individual work, family work, and outreach work within the family home.

Our Dads' Group have been working hard building a greenhouse and raised bed within the Family Centre garden. They are hoping it will be completed by the end of August and officially opened. For more information, please see our Dads Go Greenhoose Project page.
Our cook also runs cookery sessions throughout the year both on an individual and group basis.
Unit places
Unit places are provided for families who need extra support. These places are allocated following our monthly Admissions Group which includes input from Health Visitors, the Senior Bright Start Worker as well as Family Centre Management.
We receive referrals from Health Visitors, Social Workers, and parents themselves, and we review these placements on a regular basis to ensure the service we are providing is appropriate to the needs of the particular family.
Parents play an important part in the review process as it provides them with an opportunity to discuss any aspect of their child's behaviour, and enables the care worker to relate the child's progress within the unit. Parents can, of course, discuss their child with the care worker at any time.
