Our impact
Youth Access
Youth Access is the UK’s national membership network for youth advice and counselling services, often referred to as mental health and early support hubs.
What it does
Youth Access supports a network of over 130 local hubs across the UK that provide free, open‑access, wrap‑around support for young people, typically aged 11–25. These one‑stop services offer a range of support, including therapeutic interventions, youth work, peer support and practical, confidential advice on issues such as housing, finances and sexual health.
What we fund
We provide a core grant to Youth Access to support training and capacity building across its membership, alongside its policy advocacy for the early support hub model and its work to amplify young people’s voices in shaping more effective, youth centred services.
There are, thankfully, lots of organisations working to bring about the many changes needed to the mental health system for young people.
