ROUTES Youth Advice Hub

A welcoming, open-access space where young people can drop in, talk to someone and take the next step. 

ROUTES youth advice hub is for young people aged 13 to 25. You do not need an appointment to come in for information, advice or support. Our team can listen; help you explore your options and connect you with the right opportunities or services.

What you can get help with 

  • Everyday worries, confidence, motivation and wellbeing
  • Information, advice and guidance
  • Education, training, work and practical next steps
  • Finding activities, groups and local opportunities
  • Health and wellbeing workshops
  • Brief support and warm handovers to other services
  • Short-term, goal-based mentoring where this is the right next step

What to expect 

You can walk in and have an informal conversation with a friendly worker. We will listen to what is happening, check what you would like help with and agree a practical next step. This may be advice on the day, joining an activity, connecting with another service or discussing mentoring.

Mentoring 

ROUTES can offer up to 12 weeks of one-to-one support focused on what matters to you. Mentoring can help you build confidence, try new things, work towards goals and feel more independent.

How to access ROUTES 

  • Drop in without an appointment during our opening hours (see timetable to follow).
  • Meet the team through outreach or community activity.
  • Contact the hub for information before visiting.
