Our Tea and Talk event yesterday was a success with lots of diverse people and organisations dropping in to talk to us about what we offer for young people.

We had representatives from WNC Wellbeing and Engagement Teams, Northamptonshire ICB, NAYC, UoN, Groundwork Northants, United African Association and parents of young people too.

It’s so important to raise awareness of what we do and how you can access our free services.
