Turtle dove logo
Turtle Dove Cambridge (Self-Refer) - Turtle Dove Cambridge was created to fill a gap in youth support work. With one very specific aim Kate Nation founded Turtle Dove to improve the future of young women who are or are at risk of becoming unemployed through not having the confidence or experience to seek employment. This mission was driven by Kate’s first-hand experience in the youth sector where she saw the effects of a system where there are twice as many young women not currently searching for jobs compared to their male peers. She also wanted to create a safe female only space that offers these young women an opportunity to flourish away from the pressure of their male contemporaries, around whom research shows they often don’t perform to the best of their abilities. Empowering young women aged between 15 and 23.


Chums logo
CHUMS (Self-Refer) - CHUMS offers individual support, group work, family support, family days, activity days and residential weekends.  CHUMS ethos is to support the family as a whole wherever possible and some of our current services directly support adults.
