Providing a free counselling and information service to support young people and their families.

No5 aims to support young people experiencing psychological and emotional difficulties. We also support their family members or primary care givers. We have established an extensive local referral network, this allows us to signpost clients to other support agencies in the Greater Reading area. As well as maintaining our existing services we are developing and expanding our services in response to young people's needs and the changing social and economic climate.

Why the community needs us

The Reading community will benefit from the services we offer its young people and their families in working through and resolving their difficulties. This includes improving family relationships, which is a key factor in the emotional wellbeing of young people. Evidence shows counselling supports young people to access better educational and employment opportunities. They are also less likely to engage in harmful behaviours to both themselves and their local communities.

Our impact on the community

The outcomes are improved psychological and emotional well being of our clients. This enables our clients to live happier and more fulfilled lives with improvements in relationships, especially within their families. Clients will are more self aware and able to manage and modify any previous unhelpful or anti-social behaviours. They will also be able to make better use of educational and employment opportunities, to engage, feel part of, and contribute positively to their communities.

We currenlty need the following volunteer support - a receptionist to work on a Tuesday and Thursday morning each week.
