This is where families pay for the links themselves.

Lifelong Family Links have a number of young people who are due to start college this year.  As part of our service, we can offer support by escorting young people to and from college or even shadow them throughout the day in a discreet manner. This will allow them to feel confident in making new friends and know that they have the support from our linker should they need it when venturing into new areas.
 
Our objective is to support young people to be in control, and on their way to possible independence.  This is also the aim of Lambeth local authority group “In control”. You can view this on their website.

For further information regarding our facilities on the nature of the above, please contact the linking co-ordinator on 020 8671 8939.
