Youthline Bracknell Forest

17/06/2026

At Youthline, we're proud to have a team of dedicated counsellors supporting young people across Bracknell Forest.

💜 Meet Lucia

Lucia is passionate about empowering young people and helping them make positive changes that improve their wellbeing. She believes that early support can make a real difference and help prevent difficulties from escalating.

Using a primarily Person-Centred approach, Lucia also draws on CBT, Solution-Focused and Existential theories to support each young person's individual needs. Her approach is respectful, accepting and non-judgemental.

Lucia offers a safe and consistent space where young people can feel heard, understood and supported. One of the most rewarding parts of her work is seeing young people's confidence and self-esteem grow as they begin to trust themselves and recognise their strengths.

For Lucia, counselling is about building trust and emotional safety through empathy, compassion and genuine connection.

💚 Thank you, Lucia, for the care and support you provide to the young people we work with.

A huge thank you to Ascot Racecourse for inviting some of our volunteers to enjoy a special lunch ahead of Royal Ascot this week.

Our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do, giving their time, compassion and dedication to support young people across Bracknell Forest. It was wonderful to see them being treated to such a lovely afternoon and to have the opportunity to spend time together outside of their volunteering roles.

One volunteer summed it up perfectly:
"Both my tummy and heart are so full. It was so lovely to get to know some of the other volunteers and be so spoilt. The restaurant was perfect and the staff were really lovely."

Thank you to everyone involved for your kindness and hospitality. It was a truly special experience and a wonderful way to recognise the incredible difference our volunteers make to the lives of young people every day.

🚴‍♂️ Fundraising Challenge for Youthline 🚴‍♂️

TODAY one of our amazing supporters is taking on an incredible challenge to raise money for Youthline!

Paul set off on a 777km cycling journey from Prague to Düsseldorf with the Global Biking Initiative. Over 7 days, he'll tackle nearly 7,000 metres of climbing – all to support young people accessing free counselling and mental health support through Youthline.

His connection to Youthline comes through his wife, who did her counselling placement with us and continued to support young people through her work once qualified.

This challenge will be tough, but every mile cycled will help raise vital funds so that more young people can access the support they need.

We'll be sharing updates and photos along the way and would love you to cheer him on!

"The more you donate, the fewer lycra-based photos you'll have to endure!" 😄
Paul.

Thank you for supporting Youthline and good luck on this amazing adventure! 💙

Yesterday we held our Annual General Meeting, taking time to reflect on another successful year at Youthline.

It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate being awarded the prestigious King’s Award for Voluntary Service, highlight the impact of our work with young people across Bracknell Forest, and share what that support looks like in practice.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and continues to support Youthline. We’d also like to thank The Jessica Project and Priya for joining us, sharing the incredible work they do, and introducing our exciting forthcoming collaboration.

Together, we can continue making a difference to the mental health and wellbeing of local young people. 💙

We’re incredibly grateful for the ongoing support TD SYNNEX has shown Youthline.

Partnerships like these help us continue providing vital mental health support to young people across Bracknell Forest.

Thank you for having us, and we hope everyone enjoyed a fantastic day on the course! ⛳💙

This Pride Month message has been written by one of Youthline's Young Ambassadors:

With the arrival of Pride Month, it’s important to remember what it’s all about and educate ourselves about the broad range of sexual, romantic and gender identities represented in the LGBTQ+ community.

Youthline supports everyone in the Bracknell Forest area and we’re always excited to meet new people in our diverse town.

Happy Pride from everyone at Youthline! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Self-harm can feel isolating, but you are not alone.

Many people use self-harm as a way of coping with difficult thoughts, feelings or situations. Whilst it may feel hard to talk about, support is available and recovery is possible.

On our website, you'll find information, resources and support services that may help you or someone you care about better understand self-harm and access the right support.

💙 You don't have to face this on your own.

🌟 Volunteers' Week 2026 🌟

This Volunteers' Week, we would like to say a heartfelt thank you to every one of our volunteers at Youthline.

From our counsellors, support volunteers, trustees and Young Ambassadors, to those who help behind the scenes, your time, compassion, skills and dedication make an incredible difference to the lives of young people and adults across our community.

As a charity, we simply couldn't do what we do without you.

This year has been particularly special, as Youthline was honoured to receive the King's Award for Voluntary Service – the highest award a local voluntary group can receive in the UK. This recognition reflects the commitment, care and hard work of all those who have volunteered with us over the years.

To every volunteer, past and present, thank you for helping us create a safe space where people feel heard, supported and understood.

Happy Volunteers' Week! 💙
