BEDFORDSHIRE & LUTON SERVICES

CHUMS currently delivers nine services across Luton & Bedfordshire, although not all are available in both areas.   Supporting children and young people is at the heart of everything we do, and we are passionate about supporting as many children and young people as we can.  We recognise that one size does not fit all which is one of the reasons why we have developed our unique service model.

Our services wherever possible support the family as a whole as we know that sometimes everyone in the family needs a little help, not just the child who has been referred.

All our group workshops support parent/carers as well as their children.  Some of our current service delivery is also directly accessible to adults.

The chart below aims to give a quick overview of the services available, where they are available and who can access them.
