No Limits is an award-winning, local, independent charity providing a unique combination of prevention, early intervention and crisis support to young people, based on a nationally evidenced model. We provide information, advice, counselling and support through a range of services available ‘under one roof’.
We meet the needs of the most deprived, vulnerable and isolated young people who often don’t access mainstream services. By supporting across a wide range of issues including sexual health, relationships, mental health, housing, debt and employment, we support young people through the transition from adolescence to adulthood, often helping them climb out of, or avoid, social exclusion.
Our core service offers advice and support through our drop-in Advice Centre on Southampton High Street, a friendly, accessible space open for over 40 hours per week, including evenings and weekends. Young people can drop in without having to make an appointment. This flexibility, combined with the non-judgemental, young person-centred approach of our youth workers, mean that many of the barriers to seeking help often faced by vulnerable young people are removed. The youth workers are trusted by the young people – often the only professionals that are seen to be ‘on their side’.
From the drop-in, young people can be referred on to our specialist services including housing and homelessness, substance misuse, vulnerable groups (young carers, care leavers, young offenders), young parents, counselling, therapeutic groups (anger management, anxiety, bereavement).
All our services are confidential and free to young people. With the support of volunteers, local partnerships and dedicated staff, we support around 7,000 young people each year.
