Objectives

Get Connected is the UK's free, confidential helpline for young people under 25 who need help and don't know where to turn. Our service is available 365 days a year and young people can contact us by phone, webchat, email, text message or use our online directory, WebHelp 24/7.
When a young person gets in touch, one of our 100 trained Helpline Volunteers helps them explore their issues. They offer emotional support and can let them know about appropriate sources of further specialist help from our database of 10,000 trusted organisations.
Last year, each of our Helpline Volunteers directly helped around 200 children and young people who needed help with a wide range of issues including homelessness, self harm, bullying and drugs.

Our Vision
For every young person in the UK to be able to find the help they need to support their physical and emotional wellbeing.

Our Mission
To be the home of help and support for young people, enabling them to find free confidential help, whenever they need it, however they want it, no matter what the issue
