HOME EDUCATION HUB is our community for home educating families ! Run by home educators for home educators !

Our inclusive and welcoming groups are a place where home ed families can meet other like-minded people,  meet up with friends or make new ones, share our experiences and learn from each other in a friendly and supportive environment.

Our Swadlincote Hub is located right in the town centre, close to public transport links and offers 2 regular, weekly groups.

The first is a group for families with home educated children of compulsory school age ( 4 – 18 ). At this group there will be a variety of activities and materials available for those that would like to take part such as books, games, crafts, experiments, etc. We also encourage community participation in deciding what resources and activities or maybe speakers and taster sessions you would like to see in our group. You are of course also welcome to just come along to chat and play.
We are passionate in supporting our communities where we can and mindful of the current cost of living crisis and the need for good nutrition. To address this, as well as having a range of hot and cold drinks and snacks such a s fruit available at all times during sessions, there will also be simple breakfast ingredients such as cereal and toast available to all at no extra cost.

The second group is for older children age 12 to 18 who seek more independence. Again, there will be resources and activities available for those who would like to take part but also space to just hang out and chat or play games.  We fully encourage this community to take some control of their own group and participate in the planning what they would like to experience within it. As we are well aware that teenagers are forever hungry and cost a fortune to feed, there will also be ingredients available, at no extra cost, for our teens to make a simple lunch such as sandwiches or soup and toast alongside the usual snacks and drinks during this session ( support in preparing food will be given where needed ).
