📍 Walk-in mental health hubs to open in banks & libraries across England. Nuffield Foundation welcomes these plans, with our research showing how formal mental health support for young people especially is insufficient & overstretched. ‘Higgledy piggledy’ is how young people described the system.

Our research shows that there is a gap between the level of need & level of support. Around 1 in 10 people aged 16-24 had been in contact with mental health services, but only 1 in 25 had two contacts or more. Support needs to be timely, seamless & accessible when & where young people need it.
