Arsenal & Brandon Connect

Brandon Connect is a service funded by Islington Giving providing outreach therapeutic support to 16 to 25 year olds living in Islington who have emotional and mental health difficulties that are a barrier to them being in education, employment or training. For example, depression and social anxiety that have become a barrier to the young person being able to move on in life. The service aims to address the difficulties that are holding the young person back and also focuses on what she/he would like to achieve. It is therefore goal focused and solution oriented.

The service has strong links with local employment support providers and creative projects and can help ‘bridge’ young people into these services.

The service focuses on young men and therefore welcomes referrals of Islington young men who are feeling stuck and are struggling to access support.
