At Smalls, we’re creating a new, simpler way for young people aged 16–18 to access free mental health therapy — no long waits, no confusion, and no one slipping through the cracks.

The Problem

Right now, too many young people are getting stuck in the gap between

CAMHS (Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services) and

AMHS (Adult Mental Health Services).

They need help — but can’t always get it at the right time.

Our Solution

We’re working with GPs and therapists to create a direct referral pathway.

Young people can be referred straight from their GP to free therapy sessions.

Simple. Fast. Stigma-free.

Your Support Can Help Us:

Ease pressure on CAMHS by offering an alternative pathway

Fully fund therapy sessions for young people aged 16–18

Simplify access to mental health support

Run local events to raise awareness and reduce stigma

Launch a youth mentoring programme to build a stronger community

We’re not replacing what exists — we’re strengthening it, so no one falls through the cracks.

🤝 Why We Became a CIC

When Smls was founded, we wanted it to be something the community could believe in and build together.

That’s why we became a Community Interest Company (CIC) — a not-for-profit model that puts young people first.

Being a CIC means we’re:

Community-led

Governed by an independent regulator

Transparent about how we use your support
