Youth hubs
We have a number of places for young people to come and meet friends and hang out, with lots of things going on. You can also drop in and meet with local advisers and get specialist support.
Come and talk to us
We are happy to talk to you about anything you need support and advice on. It could be you need advice on education, employment and training, sexual health advice or where to get condoms. Whatever your needs we are here to help. If the person best suited to help you isn't available, we can make an appointment for you to meet with them - you might need to fill in a referral form.
If you just want a place to 'be', then that is OK too. The type of people you may meet include:
- counsellors
- CXK personal advisors
- drug and alcohol workers
- early help family support workers
- education welfare officers
- mental health and wellbeing support workers
- sexual health advisors
- training providers
- workers from other support services
- youth offending officers
- youth workers.
