Youth Talk’s mission is to provide the best, possible mental health support to young people in St Albans and the surrounding areas. It's important for there to be a safe, trustworthy, calm and professional environment for young people to feel comfortable in and share whatever is on their mind, Youth Talk can offer this.

I believe in Youth Talk’s vision that every young person can talk to someone who can help them with whatever is worrying them, in an open and accepting way. The value of ‘stronger together’ resonates deeply with me: we truly listen, and we mean it. Through thoughtful, consistent support, we help young people feel seen, understood, and less alone, giving them the confidence to grow and flourish. Youth Talk makes a life-changing difference to so many young people, and that’s why I’m taking part in the St Albans Half Marathon: to raise vital funds and awareness for this incredible work.

Thanks to your donations and support of my fundraising – Youth Talk can continue to provide local young people with one-to-one counselling support during a real time of need..
