Can your company help transform young lives?
Your contributions will help provide two local young people with a full course of counselling. We’ve over 40 young people waiting for our help and we are looking to our business community to support us and help your future workforce.

Our local young people need you!

One young person said:

A young person with headphones on at a desk on their laptop.

Without Youth Talk all relationships I had including family, friends and school would have severely suffered and I wouldn’t have been able to get up from rock bottom. My harmful habits would have probably put me in hospital or worse. I probably would have never been able to open myself up to help from others and definitely would have never been able to gain an awareness of myself and that what I was doing was worse than I thought. Because I came to Youth Talk I got to reach my 16th birthday.

Why join our campaign?

If your business commit to partnering with Youth Talk, this provides us with much needed security for the year ahead. We are committed to doubling our service provision by 2027.

With 40+ young people waiting for our help right now, this can only change if we secure the much needed funding to recruit new counsellors. We want to be able to offer those waiting for help the opportunity to speak with a qualified, expert counsellor about their worries. If 50 businesses commit to join us and sign our agreement, we will be able to provide 100 local young people with a course of counselling.

Invest in our future workforce, support a young person in your community today and partner with Youth Talk.
