Not everyone has access to the right support and even those that do, don't always have the right skills or knowledge to be able to give the best advice.
It's not just young people that need support or advice, it can also include having access to peers that may have dealt with a challenge you are currently facing.
The Channel Community has a number of Buddies from all parts of the Channel, ready to provide support and advice when you need it.
Become a Channel Buddy

Seeing people grow and develop is one of the most rewarding things you can do and as a Channel Buddy, you get to do just that.
