Service Description
Tower Hamlets Family Information Service (FIS) provides free, impartial information and advice on childcare as well as general information on a wide range of services for children, young people, parents and families. The role of the FIS is to help families get the most out of what may be available to them whether it is finding something to do together with your children in the school holidays to finding a service to support you. We have information on a range of services.
The Family Information Services offers a 9-5 telephone and drop in service from Monday to Friday. We attend outreach sessions across the borough.
