We also work closely with our local advocates, so if you’re eligible to work with them, we will refer you on.
We may sometimes direct younger Care Experienced people to the Helpline if we currently don’t offer the support they’re looking for in their area. If you are under 26 and looking for help you should visit our Advocacy page by clicking the icon to the left to see if we have an advocate in your area.
If our helpline staff are unable to help you they will signpost you to another organisation/service/person who can.
