The Market Place is a local charity that has been empowering young people in Leeds since 1989. We have supported tens of thousands of young people aged 11 to 25 who live or study in Leeds over the last three decades.
Our charity is young person centred, meaning young people are at the heart of everything we do. We don’t give advice or tell someone what to do, but rather offer support and space for young people to work through their issues, at their pace, in their way(s). We believe young people are the experts in their own lives.
We offer counselling, a youth work-led Drop In support service and a C-Card service during Drop In hours for 11-25 year olds.
If you’re in need of support, we invite you to call us on 0113 246 1659 or get in Contact with us.
Please see our updated information on our Counselling.
Our Drop-In service is open Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 3pm – 6pm – with the last walk in session of the day being 5:15pm.
Each Drop-In session is a 30-minute one-to-one session with one of our mental health youth workers. A safe place to talk to a professional about anything that is going on in a confidential and non-judgemental space.
No appointment needed – just stop by for a chat with a youth worker, or to access C-Card. Find us using What3Words
As well as just dropping in, you can book a telephone or face-to-face appointment here.
All members of our staff and volunteer team are highly committed to supporting young people as best as we can. We want every young person to feel comfortable and able to be themselves in this safe space at The Market Place.
