The Childrens Society East

We work with young people and their families in Essex, Hertfordshire and Norfolk. 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 employment or training, we've got you covered. Through a range of positive activities we can increase your confidence, develop life skills and build your emotional resilience. We can help with:
