The Gaia Centre - Young People’s Service

You know when your line’s been crossed. If it felt weird, unsafe, or not right in any other way, you may have experienced a form of gender-based violence.

Gender-based violence can include harassment, abuse, controlling behaviour, and more. These types of abuse are more likely to impact girls and young women, but people of any gender can be affected. To find out more visit our ‘It’s Not That Deep’ website which was designed by young people in Lambeth: www.itsnotthatdeep.org.uk

The Gaia Centre Young People’s service provides support for children and young people affected by any form of gender-based violence, including child sexual exploitation. The service is available to children and young people of any gender aged 0 to 25 years old who live or study in Lambeth.

The Gaia Centre offers a safe space to meet with children and young people in schools, out in the community, in the centre and virtually. Our Children’s Outreach Worker provides direct support to children and protective parents to strengthen their relationship and can link children to additional therapeutic support delivered by Bede House – one of the Gaia Centre’s partners.

To make a referral or discuss support options you can call or email us.

If you’ve been physically hurt, or feel like you are in immediate danger, call 999.
