Support for young people


Child Bereavement UK
Child Bereavement UK believes that all families should have access to the support and information they need when a child grieves or when a child dies.

Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (CAFCASS)
CAFCASS represents children in family court cases. We are independent of the courts, social services, education and health authorities and all similar agencies.

Children, young people and families
If you are a parent, or guardian, of a child or young person and are struggling with the cost of living, we have created a list of organisations that might be able to help you.

Children's Centres and Family Hubs in Plymouth

Choosing a care home
Choosing a care home for a loved one can feel overwhelming, especially if you're unfamiliar with the process. Whether you're considering this move for yourself, a parent, or a relative, this guide aims to help you make an informed, confident decision.

City Centre Wellbeing Hub
The City Centre Wellbeing Hub supports a wide range of people across the city, offering information and advice, veterans services and health and wellbeing support.

Clothes and getting dressed
Within this section, you'll find information on a variety of clothing solutions, equipment, and aids, all aimed at promoting a sense of independence and allowing you to live life to the fullest.

Clothes to help bladder control and continence
Living with incontinence can be a challenge, but managing it discreetly and comfortably is possible with the right approach. Clothing plays a crucial role in promoting confidence and independence, allowing you to participate in daily activities without unnecessary worry.

Clothes to keep you warm
While the fresh air is invigorating, staying warm and comfortable throughout the colder months is essential. Age-related changes like reduced body heat production and increased sensitivity to the cold can make staying cosy a challenge.

Colleges and Training Providers in Plymouth
Colleges generally provide academic and vocational education for students over 16 years old, including GCSEs, A-Levels, BTECs, apprenticeships and more. Many offer higher education courses too.

Commodes
Maintaining independence and dignity in your own home is essential, especially as we age. Using the toilet safely and without assistance can be a concern for older adults. Limited mobility, reduced balance, and bathroom layout limitations can all make using a standard toilet challenging.
