💡 What Is a Referral?

A referral is when someone—such as a professional, support worker, or even a trusted person—connects you with our charity’s services because they believe we can help. It’s a way of making sure you get the right support, safely and smoothly.

📝 How the Referral Process Works

1. Who Can Refer You?
   You can be referred by:
   • Your GP, therapist, or healthcare professional
   • Your social worker or support worker
   • Your teacher, counsellor or school staff member
   • Yourself (self-referral is welcome!)
2. What Happens Next?
   Once we receive your referral:
   • We’ll review the information to understand your needs
   • A member of our team will contact you to talk through next steps
   • We’ll explain what support we can offer and how to get started 👍🏾
3. Is It Confidential?
   Of course. We value your trust and your privacy. All referrals are handled with care and confidentiality. We only use the information to help you access the right support.
