Life Hacks provides non-clinical support that is discrete and offers a safe space to talk and be listened to. We believe that children and young people deserve the chance to develop healthier lifestyles to improve their physical and emotional wellbeing, increase their sense of community and inclusion and encourage them to become involved with the groups or organisations that they are interested in. We want to know what matters to the child or young person – in their own words. And we’ll work with them to find solutions. It could be access to something sporty, arty, creative or social. Or linking with volunteering or advice or counselling services. Whatever it is, it comes from the child or young person.

How it Works Our specialist Link Workers build relationships with the children and young people to understand their aspirations and any barriers they face. Support is guided and co-ordinated by the Link Worker in collaboration with the child or young person and their family or support network. An initial appointment with the Link Worker allows the young person to discuss their current situation and what they would like to change/improve about their lifestyle too. Moving forward and working together, they will be encouraged to consider what matters to them and to identify their own solutions. How to Refer We accept referrals of young people aged 11-19 who attend the GP practices linked to the Titan, Hatters, Crown and Caritas PCNs across Luton, Bedford, Central Beds and Milton Keynes.
