Off The Record

Off the Record Bath and North East Somerset (OTR) improves the emotional health and wellbeing of young people. We want every young person in Bath and North East Somerset and beyond to be emotionally healthy, confident and empowered in themselves.

We provide a range of free services for anyone aged 10-25 living, working or studying in BaNES, including counselling, listening support, youth participation, advocacy, support for care leavers and a LGBTQ+ focused youth group.

In every way we believe the importance of being equal, especially in status, rights, or opportunities.

Youth-centred

We strive for young people to take the lead, and we respond to what young people tell us works.

Person-centred

We believe that each of us can choose and define our own way forward with the right support.

Collaborative

We believe young people should freely access our services, as well as having the right to confidentiality, and have confidence we’re independent.
