Twenty-four early support hubs are set to be rolled out in local communities across the country to provide mental health support for young people.

The Government announced last October that £4.92m would be available for 10 of the drop-in centres or ‘hubs’. It is now providing an additional £3m to expand the number to 24.

Mental Health Minister Maria Caulfield said: ‘No child or young person should suffer alone, and this additional funding for 24 mental health hubs will improve access and bring in more staff and experts who can help those who need it the most.’

The hubs are open to those aged 11 to 25, and are available for anyone who may not meet the threshold to receive NHS support.
