Our Story

NEW - Wednesday Youth Drop In

Launch of Reflect text messaging service

From 20 February, a new text messaging service is being launched with a focus on young people aged 11-25 across Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes (BLMK)

  • Young people can text reflect to 85258 if they need advice or help
  • The service is delivered in partnership with Shout
  • Reflect is free and does not show up on phone bills

The service is confidential and available 24/7. Young people including those on our counselling waiting list can access support via text at any time of the day.

Reflect can help with issues such as:

  • Anxiety
  • Bullying
  • Depression
  • Loneliness or isolation
  • Money worries
  • Relationship problems
  • Self-harm
  • Stress
  • Suicidal thoughts or feelings

It is free to text from all major UK networks: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. These also include BT Mobile, Tesco Mobile, Virgin Mobile, iD Mobile, Sky, Telecom Plus, Lebara and GiffGaff. Some Android phones, including the Samsung Galaxy, may issue a warning that a young person will be charged for sending a message. Provided they are on one of the networks listed above, this warning is incorrect and they will not be charged.

If you are immediately concerned about the safety of a young person always contact 999.
