YOUR VOICE. YOUR MIND.
YOUR OFF THE RECORD
WHO WE ARE
We’re Off the Record Bath & North East Somerset, an independent charity providing free mental health and wellbeing support for young people aged 11-25. For more than 30 years we’ve been there for young people with safe spaces, trusted adults, and the support they need.
Today, we’re embedded in the heart of local communities, working in schools, colleges, universities and hospitals, supporting more than 2,000 young people every year.
With the needs of young people growing rapidly and becoming more complex, and community services struggling to respond, our work is vital, now more than ever.
WHAT WE DO
Listening and Counselling support - safe spaces where young people can talk about what’s on their mind.
“You helped me talk about things I didn’t feel comfortable telling friends/relatives”

Youth Participation - supporting young people in care or who are care leavers to feel heard and have a positive impact on the care system.
“People ask me my opinion. No one does that anywhere else”

LGBTQ+ youth service - youth groups and 1:1 youth work, helping young people to find safety, friendship and acceptance.
“SPACE is like my family. Without it, I don’t know what I would do”

Hospital Youth Work & CAMHS Link - 1:1 wellbeing support for young people who have accessed the RUH Hospital in Bath, and for those accessing CAMHS.
“I thought I would feel bad and anxious forever. But you proved things can get better.”
