Taking health care to young people

Julie Penfold Freelance writer

Julie Penfold reports on an innovative service for adolescents in London.

The Well Centre is a drop-in health facility for people aged between 13 and 19 years attached to Streatham Youth and Community Trust. Although there is a large teenage population in the area, co-founders Stephanie Lamb and John Poyton, director of youth work charity Redthread, felt there were few teenage-specific services available.
