Looking after children and young people’s mental health is everyone’s responsibility. To do this, we also link and work with many organisations in the public sector and third sector, including:

• Cardiff Council
• Vale of Glamorgan Council
• Cardiff Third Sector Council
• Glamorgan Voluntary Services
• Cardiff and the Vale Action for Mental Health

We are part of the Starting Well Partnership which reports to the Cardiff and Vale Regional Partnership Board.

Power Up

Power Up is a young people’s wellbeing and social action project for young people aged 10-25 living in Cardiff and The Vale of Glamorgan.

Power Up is a partnership project, with Platfform working alongside the following organisations:

• EYST
• YMCA Cardiff
• iBme UK
• Llamau
• ProMo Cymru
• Cardiff and Vale University Health Board
• Cardiff Council
• Vale of Glamorgan Council
• Cardiff Metropolitan University

The project provides frontline wellbeing support to young people experiencing challenges with their mental health. This includes 1-1 coaching sessions, the delivery of wellbeing programmes, and regular social groups.

Power Up takes a trauma and relationally informed approach to providing support, focusing on connection, community, and creativity.

Alongside providing a wellbeing service, Power Up also supports young people to create social change within their communities and within Wales.

You can make a self-referral into Power Up as a young person, or an agency can make a referral. All referrals can be made using the referral form which can be accessed through this link:
