HELP FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
Need Help or Worried About Something?
If something doesn’t feel right, or if you’re worried about yourself or someone you know, you’re not alone – we can help.
What We Do:
Safe and Sound supports young people in Derby and Derbyshire who might be at risk of exploitation – that means being taken advantage of, pressured, or controlled by others.
This could happen online, in friendships, in relationships, or even through people you think you can trust.
We help you understand what’s going on, keep you safe, and support you to rebuild your confidence and future.
How We Can Help You:
You can talk to us about anything that’s worrying you. We can offer:
Activities & Youth Projects
Music, art, sport, creative sessions and much more at our Osmaston Community Hub.
1-To-1 Support
A trusted person who listens and helps you understand what’s happening.
Group Sessions
Meet other young people in the local area, learn new skills, and build up your confidence.
Practical & Emotional Support
For you and your family, so you can feel safe and that your not facing things alone.
You’re NOT Alone
Lots of young people go through difficult situations – it’s never your fault, and there’s always help. If you’re ever unsure, just reach out. Even a small chat can make a big difference.
LOUISE’S STORY
As a young teenager, Louise was in a downward spiral of self-harm, running away and sharing photographs with strangers online – not realising that they were not boys of her own age but older men who were prolific sexual predators.
