How it works

1. Referral — a young person can be referred by another organisation, by a family member or friend, or can get in touch themselves.
2. Eligibility assessment — our youth team checks eligibility during intake and gets to know your needs. Once these are confirmed, the young person becomes a client.
3. Commencing support — you are added to our online spaces and contact list, so you receive updates on events the youth team is running.
