New children and young people’s health and wellbeing service to launch in Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea

A new health and wellbeing service for children and young people is set to launch this December across Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea, marking a significant expansion of local support.

The service, currently delivered by Waythrough, will transition to Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust (CNWL), following a successful procurement process. The new model will increase treatment capacity and enhance in-reach support for children and young people across both boroughs.

For the first time, the service will also offer dedicated support for issues related to online harms and wider addictions, including pornography, gaming and gambling—addressing a growing area of need for families and young people.

Further details on referrals and how to access the service will be shared soon.

In the meantime, residents and partner organisations are encouraged to contact the relevant Public Health Commissioning Team with any queries:
