Residents, families, and partners joined Councillors on Tuesday 27th May to celebrate the official launch of Our Hubs BD website at the Dagenham Learning Centre Community and Family Hub.
The new digital platform https://ourhubsbd.london/ is set to transform how Barking and Dagenham residents connect with services, events, and each other.
The launch event brought together local voices to highlight the importance of access to information, support, and opportunities in one easy-to-use online space. A live demonstration of the website featured showcasing accessibility tools and different functions on the website to suit user’s needs. Our Hubs BD is now live, serving as a central website for families to discover local events, activities, advice, and vital services tailored to their needs.
The website includes:
- Hubs – welcoming spaces offering advice, information, support services, and community events
- Help for families – parenting resources, infant feeding support, and activities for young children

- Events – a comprehensive listing of daily and monthly events across the borough
- Join in – opportunities to volunteer, participate in community projects, and give feedback
- News and celebrations – borough updates and stories from the community.
Councillor Jane Jones, Cabinet Member for Children’s Social Care & Disabilities, said: “Our Hubs BD is about making it easier for people to find what they need and feel more connected to where they live. Whether it’s a parent looking for support, a young person searching for activities, or a resident wanting to get involved in the community, this platform brings it all together.”
Cllr Maureen Worby, Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care & Health Integration, added: “By putting information and opportunities at people’s fingertips, we are helping families thrive and grow together. Our Hubs BD will be a key tool in making sure everyone in our borough feels included and supported.”
