Advice and help from Middlesbrough Council

add

Middlesbrough is home to lots of libraries and community centres (called Community Hubs). Community Hubs offer advice and information, as well as computers which are free to use.

If you're pregnant or have children

add

Middlesbrough Council also has a Family Information Service. They have lots of information to support you and your family if you have children.

If you are worried about the safety of a child, contact the Middlesbrough Multi-Agency Children's Hub for help.

If you are pregnant, you may be able to get a maternity grant. If you are an asylum seeker, you will have to apply through Migrant Help.
