Support Links

If we are supporting you, you should have a Young Person's Handbook which has details of how we handle bullying, discrimination, harrassment or hate crimes.

Get in touch with us if you're not happy about someone's behaviour, need help managing your own or just need to speak to someone.  Use the freephone number to call your support worker 0800 731 72 13.

If you're looking for something to do with your time or a new challenge  - read the Good Stuff To Do page.  

We work with lots of organisations who offer specialist support to young people. Below are a few, but you can also search 1 BIGDATABASE (opens in a new window) for more options.
 

Thesite.org  (opens in a new window) is one of the best information and guidance websites for young people.
