Do you have a child aged 16-18 years?

In case of need of support due to a problem relating to work, housing or finances, or mental health issues, family problems, isolation or social marginalisation, it is possible to turn to one of several organisations dedicated to helping and supporting individuals and families experiencing difficulties. In-kind support could include food vouchers, clothes or transportation cards.
