#FundTheHubs Young People’s Letter Writing Pack

July 18, 2022

The #FundTheHubs Campaign is a national campaign led by a group of charities which is calling for every community to have an ‘early support hub’ to help support young people.

We know that support like this works. It helps young people to solve the challenges in their lives, stops things getting worse or out of control and improves mental health and wellbeing.

Now is a good time to write to your MP because this summer the Government is working on a new plan to improve the nation’s mental health and wellbeing.

By writing to your MP you can let them know how important hubs are and how they could transform the mental health and wellbeing of young people.

There is more information and guidance around writing to your MP about the #FundTheHubs campaign in the links below:

Amazing, thank you for the information and support. It's a scary world being a parent to a child with ASD but now I feel there is light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Such a lovely, friendly team. Thank you.

I worked with Emily. I enjoyed talking about what's going on in my life whilst it is being fun, it's never 'there's something wrong', it's always 'how do we help you' which I like. Emily is amazing, she's helped me so much and she's just a lovely person!!!

YPAS was the first organisation that took me in and also the quickest, Sonia helped me get through a very difficult stage in my life and has bettered me as a person. I feel better equipped to deal with situations in life and my mental health has improved overall because of it.

My son has loved coming to sessions each week with Lisa. He has calmed down a lot. This has been a fantastic service with people who genuinely care. Thank you, Lisa!

I felt progression and I found my strength and resilience through the sessions. I am proud of myself for staying strong and showing my commitment through the past months of my sessions. I also gained a handful of coping strategies and I maintained my balance by controlling my worries.
