Building Brighter Futures

Croydon Voluntary Action and the Reedham Children’s Trust are supporting our leading mental-health providers and youth-work organisations on a young people’s project. 

This project takes young people off waiting lists and matches them with ‘rapid responders’ for personal and career development. 

The Maudsley Charity has put just under £1 million into this exciting project that will transform how young people experience mental health in Croydon. 

Mind in Croydon, Off The Record, Croydon Drop-In, Palace for Life, Reaching Higher and Be Inspired will each deliver one-to-one mentoring and social activity pathways for young people struggling to access support. 

Working closely with Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), the aim is to pilot a more effective way to ensure that young people get the right support when they need it.
