Off the Record - Twickenham Information

Off the Record - Twickenham (OTR) is a charity for young people aged 11 - 24, in Richmond Borough, which provides dedicated youth services; counselling, drop-in information and a sexual health service. Every young person deserves a space where they feel valued, supported and listened to. Here in Richmond upon Thames, Off The Record Twickenham is that space. Since 1992, we’ve offered free, confidential counselling, drop-in and sexual health service for young people. We’re the only service of our kind here, and there’s no threshold, no need for a referral or to be ‘bad enough’. If a young person needs support with their mental wellbeing, our door is open. Last year, we supported 1,069 young people through 3,705 sessions of support. We offered 260 sessions for parents as well. Every week we deliver 91 free, confidential counselling sessions from our hub in Church Street, Twickenham, and seven community locations across the borough from Barnes to Whitton. “I felt more confident, better in myself and I don't feel as horrible and I've had someone to talk to” (Age 12)
