The Children's Society East
We work with young people and their families in Essex and Hertfordshire.
Whatever you're going through, we encourage you to make positive choices. If you think you're in an unhealthy relationship, you're worried about your parents' drinking, or you're looking for support with your own drug or alcohol use, we've got you covered.
Through a range of positive activities we can increase your confidence, develop life skills and build your emotional resilience.

Essex services
Education and employment
- Inside Out coaches young people aged 14-18 who have had multiple care placements.
- NEET helps young people in Essex aged 16-18, who are already engaged in our services, get back into education and employment.
Exploitation
- C.A.R.E. supports young people aged 8-24 who may be at risk of exploitation.
