Changing systems, improving young lives

Blue Smile 

Blue Smile helps children (ages 3-13) in Cambridgeshire have happier and brighter futures, with one-to-one therapy, group work and whole class workshops. We predominantly work in schools and directly support both school staff and parents/carers to help their children through an extensive range of services

Why did Blue Smile join Fullscope?

Blue Smile joined Fullscope to contribute to the shared expertise and learning of other organisations with a view to improving the provision of mental health support to children and young people in the region. We were excited that, in collaboration with children, young people, families and various providers of mental health support, we could be part of a system wide change that would offer service users easier and quicker access to appropriate information and support.

Centre 33 provides free and confidential support and information for young people up to the age of 25 in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. We support young people with any issue they come to us with.

Our services include a young people’s helpline, counselling, guided-self help, an extensive young carers programme, and employment and benefits support.

Why did Centre 33 join Fullscope?

Part of our mission is to support young people to get excellent support for their mental health from all local services. We know that their experiences of the wider system have not always been positive. Fullscope is a brilliant opportunity to ensure that by working together with partners we are creating a system that fully supports young people.
