Get Connected is the free, confidential helpline for young people who need help but don't know where to find it. You can contact us by phone, email and webchat and we have just launched our new WebHelp 24/7 service so you can find the right source of help when you need it, day or night.
Get Connected We celebrated being 10 years old – again! If the Queen can have two Birthdays then so can we. This time we descended on our supporters at CPW Acton armed with helium balloons and our piñata. Have a look at some of our photos to see the explosion of sweet joy!

CHANGE OF VENUE
***********************************
Our amazing Pub Quiz will now be held at the Knight’s Templar which is on the same road as the original venue. It is located at 95 Chancery Lane, Off Carey Street, Holborn, WC2A 1DT and a map can be found if you click here.
I would like... to apologise for this change of venue. Despite booking the Penderels’ Oak over a month in advance, we have only just received notification that we have been “double booked”. Please check with the rest of your teams that they know about the change of venue so that they don’t miss out on the opportunity to win Champagne and Glory!
****************************************
Get involved with GC's Amazing Pub Quiz for the chance to win Champagne and Glory whilst helping young people in crisis.
Tickets cost £5 per person with teams being made up to a maximum of 5 people. This event is open to everyone so please bring families, friends or both to see who has the knowledge of a champion! Just drop a message to Gavin.Gowlett@getconnected.org.uk to guarantee your place. If you haven't got a full team then don't worry - we can help you create a super team.
All proceeds will go to Get Connected, the free helpline for young people and children in distressing situations, who know they need help but don't know where to find it. Get Connected provides emotional support and the information young people need whatever problems they face - from homelessness and unemployment to bullying or abuse.
So join us at the Knight's Templar for fun and frolics! Doors are open at 7.30pm for a prompt 8.00pm start.
