Supporting children, young people, parents and carers, and anyone who looks after or works with children and young people in York. The website has different zones for different people who might want to find information: children, young people, parents and YorOK workforce (people who work with children and young people).

The Survival Guide... is a little book full of things you might need to know or make decisions about. It also has places you might need to contact for help or advice. It is written for young people 16 to 25 in York (though you might find it useful at any age). The Guide is produced by the friendly people at Castlegate...

Castlegate offers confidential information, advice, support and counselling service for young people aged 16 to 25 in the city of York.

You might want help with choosing a course, finding a job or an apprenticeship. Maybe you need advice about benefits or help looking for somewhere to live. You might be feeling stressed or worried and want to talk to someone. Perhaps you just want free condoms
