💡 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
- 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!)
- 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 👍🏾
- 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.
