Healthy Living Service

4YP provides holistic healthy lifestyle support to a cohort of young people identified as needing support with the management of their weight.
Suffolk Information Partnerships
In 2023 4YP became a member of the Warm Handovers Referral Scheme; a trusted and coordinated network of statutory, voluntary and independent sector organisations, who provide healthcare, financial or wellbeing support services to young people who are Suffolk residents. This enables referrals to be made and received for people who would benefit from what different organisations offer and means that they only need to tell their story once.

Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council’s Youth Social Prescribing
Together The Mix and 4YP provide Youth Link Workers to four secondary schools and their feeder primary schools, across two district councils, working with individuals and cohorts of young people to improve their wellbeing.
The Youth Link Workers work with each young person and their family to identify and access community activities that suit their interests and improve their wellbeing and provide activities within the school setting that are co-designed with young people and school teams e.g., gender groups and after school groups.
