The charity Action for Children has been awarded a £5.2m per year contract to run children's centres in Norfolk from October.

The service will have a network of 15 bases, offering outreach support across the county and delivering early childhood and family services for families living nearby.

Services will aim to provide targeted support for families with children aged 0-5 and offer help so that families can connect with local support and universal early childhood activities.

There is also a planned investment of £250,000 in community development to ensure there are strong networks of support, as well as more online and digital information, advice and guidance for families.

Norfolk County Council decided to close 38 of its 53 children's centres in January as part of a move away from using centres to directly provide services.
