Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent progress his Department has made on launching the Families Hub.

The Families Hub launched on 26 February 2025. The Hub is an online information portal for Armed Forces families and personnel, designed to help them navigate Service life. It signposts users to support, organisations, policies and guidance on issues such as childcare, health and wellbeing, housing, partner support and finance. The Hub aims to provide the Service community, particularly families, with a single, easily accessible source of relevant information so that they are better equipped to understand their options and make informed decisions on how they manage Service life as a family. The Hub can be accessed at: https://discovermybenefits.mod.gov.uk/families/
