If you're struggling right now, please know that support is available. You don't have to face this alone.

Girls Club Life CIC is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent mental health support, please contact your GP, call emergency services (999), or reach out to a dedicated crisis helpline. Our sessions are designed to offer peer support and connection, but they are not a substitute for professional or emergency care.
For tailored referrals or help finding specific support, please get in touch and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
