Life’s full of all kinds of challenges. And being a young person today can sometimes feel like you’re carrying a huge weight around. If you’d like some help to lift the load, we’re here with services and information that can make life a little lighter.
Are you a young person preparing to leave care? Or have recently left?
You’ve got this. If you want a hand, we can help you find somewhere to live, learn independent living skills and money management, find work, training or continue with education. We can also help you access support and counselling.
Need support with your mental health?
Everyone has mental health and it’s something we should all take the time to look after. Sometimes our thoughts and feelings can feel difficult to manage. If you’re struggling with how you feel, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Help and advice is available for you.
Are you experiencing homelessness? Or think you’re about to lose your home?
You deserve a place to call home, whatever that means to you. If you’re a young person who has experienced care and is now at risk of (or experiencing) homelessness, we may be able to help you find a safe and supportive place to live.
Want a hand finding a job, training or developing your skills?
Explore training and employment opportunities in your area. We provide courses, support and careers advice, whether you're interested in sports coaching or business administration.
Do you identify as LGBT+?
If you’re an LGBT+ young person (that’s anyone who’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans or questioning their sexual or gender identity) or a parent of a young person who identifies as LGBT+, you’ve come to the right place. We’re working in your community to build understanding of what it means to be LGBT+ so that everyone feels happy and safe to be themselves.
Do you care for someone else?
You might be a young carer without even knowing. If you’re under 18 and help look after someone with an illness, disability, or substance abuse problem, we can help you. We’ve put together support and guidance to make sure you’re living your life to the full, whatever that means to you.
We can help you stay safe
If you’re worried about online safety, domestic abuse, child sexual abuse and exploitation, female genital mutilation (FGM), alcohol and substance abuse or child trafficking, the first thing to do is to learn more about it.
