Making a Referral

Referrals can be made using the referral form below. If you require further information please contact CYP Referrals: cypreferrals@barca-leeds.org

You can be introduced to the service by your doctor, nurse or any other health care professional.

We welcome referrals from education settings and family support services.

We will work closely with Linking Leeds so young people aged 16 to 19 can access the social prescribing service that can best meet their needs rather than based on age criteria.

Connect Together is a social prescribing service that supports children, young people and their families to make long lasting connections in their community to bring about sustainable change and improvements to their lives.
