How your money helps
Youth Talk is a community organisation for our St Albans and district community and driven by the community in which we work and we think it is important that you know how your money helps.

Youth Talk saved me from going down a dark hole in the place I was in at the time. My counsellor helped me get through so much. I still can’t believe she stayed and listened to me about the same things session after session. If it wasn’t for her I don’t think I’d be living as optimistically as I am now.
