Young Greenwich Referrals
At Young Greenwich, our main service is universal provision, offering activities and support for all young people in the borough. However, we also have a range of specialised provisions tailored to some specific needs.
If a young person or their family requires additional support in one of these focused areas, referrals can be made to connect them with the right services. Have a look at our focused areas below

Risk and Exploitation
These programmes are here to support children and all young people who have faced challenges in life (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and may be at risk of exploitation or other difficulties.
Through engaging sessions, we’ll help you spot the signs of grooming and exploitation, build confidence, and learn how to stay safe while making positive choices for your future.
