Changes to our referral routes
Please note, that as of November 13th, 2023, we are no longer accepting referrals directly from parents or carers, but young people are able to refer themselves to all our core one-to-one services using the options at the top of this page.
If you’ve been directed here by a professional, we recommend speaking to your GP about alternative pathways available to support young people in your area.
If you’re concerned about a young person who may need help referring themselves, please reach out to us at theteam@42ndstreet.org.uk or phone us Mondays 12-2pm and Thursdays 3-5pm on 0161 228 7321.

Changes to our referral routes
Please note, that as of November 13th, 2023, we are no longer accepting referrals from any professionals except for social care professionals.

Young people are able to refer themselves to all our core one-to-one services using the options at the top of the page and young people already referred to our services from other routes before November 13th, 2023, will continue to receive support. Read more using the button below.
