About Us

Service Six is an award-winning mental health charity supporting children, young people, and families across Northamptonshire and the surrounding areas. We offer counselling, emotional wellbeing support, and safe, welcoming spaces where children and young people feel heard, supported, and empowered.

Founded in 1979 and proudly rooted in Wellingborough, Service Six began as one of six community projects funded under a broader initiative — a legacy that lives on in our name. From our early days delivering counselling and sexual health support in the town centre and later in Broad Green, we have grown steadily in response to increasing need. In 2018, we moved to our current home on Queensway to better accommodate our expanding services and dedicated team.

Today, Service Six is a trusted and growing organisation, reaching more young people than ever before. Our work spans a wide range of support, including one-to-one counselling and play therapy, emotional wellbeing sessions, youth groups, drop-ins, parent support, and more — all tailored to meet the needs of the young people and communities we serve. However, we couldn't do it without our amazing funders and supporters, whose financial backing allows us to continue the vital work we do, and reach as many young people as possible.
