Support for young people

If you are a parent, or guardian, of a child or young person and are struggling with the cost of living, we have created a list of organisations that might be able to help you.

Children's Centres and Family Hubs are early childhood facilities that provide support and services for families with young children under 5 years old.

Children's Minds - Families Matter is a parent participation project led by Routeways, supported by Plymouth Parent Carer Voice and attended each month by CAMHS Community Team and the Child Development Centre.

Plymouth has over 140 playgrounds that are suitable for a range of ages and abilities.

If you're passionate about working with children and young people and keen to develop your career with a progressive employer, then Plymouth City Council would love to hear from you.

Choosing a care home for a loved one can feel overwhelming, especially if you're unfamiliar with the process. Whether you're considering this move for yourself, a parent, or a relative, this guide aims to help you make an informed, confident decision.

The City Centre Wellbeing Hub is located at Ernest English House and operated by Improving Lives Plymouth.

Within this section, you'll find information on a variety of clothing solutions, equipment, and aids, all aimed at promoting a sense of independence and allowing you to live life to the fullest.

Living with incontinence can be a challenge, but managing it discreetly and comfortably is possible with the right approach. Clothing plays a crucial role in promoting confidence and independence, allowing you to participate in daily activities without unnecessary worry.

While the fresh air is invigorating, staying warm and comfortable throughout the colder months is essential. Age-related changes like reduced body heat production and increased sensitivity to the cold can make staying cosy a challenge.

Colleges generally provide academic and vocational education for students over 16 years old, including GCSEs, A-Levels, BTECs, apprenticeships and more. Many offer higher education courses too.

Maintaining independence and dignity in your own home is essential, especially as we age. Using the toilet safely and without assistance can be a concern for older adults. Limited mobility, reduced balance, and bathroom layout limitations can all make using a standard toilet challenging.

Community Centres are public locations where members of a community can meet for group activities, social support, public information, and other purposes.
