Get Connected
Get Connected is a free telephone, email and webchat helpline service finding young people the best help whatever the problem. Available anywhere in the UK, 1pm - 11pm every day, we can provide free connections to local or national services, and text information to caller's mobile phones.
Get Connected's vision is that every young person in the UK can find the help they need to support their emotional and physical wellbeing.
There are 11 million young people in the UK. In Get Connected's survey of 2006, 4 out of 5 of young people didn't know where to turn with their problems. Get Connected is the free helpline for these young people, who know they need help but don't know where to find it. With Helpline Workers trained to support each young person in their unique situation and help them choose the best service from over 13,000 in the UK, Get Connected is the vital gateway between a distressing confusing problem the young person can't solve on their own and the service that can help them solve it. Crucially, the connection we make for each young person to their chosen source of help is free as well.

| Our personal message: |
Thanks for taking the time to visit my page. On the 12th October this year I will be running a half marathon in London in aid of Get Connected. For those of you that have not heard of the charity, it is a free helpline that has been set up for young people in crisis. I think this is a brilliant cause, and my best friend from school, Alexandra Parsons, is now working for them, so that just adds to the incentive for actually running 13 miles and raising some money in the process.
Many of us have known or even been that person in trouble, unsure of where to turn for help and advice, and the more support that is in place the better. If you could find even just a few pounds to sponsor me that would be brilliant. Again thank you so much for your support.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Get Connected gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
