BADU Support Line

BADU Community is an organisation that uses sport as the driving force to empower, educate and uplift young people and their families in the local community. We focus on giving people in the local area activities and opportunities to bring about positive outcomes. We have close relationships with key parts of the community from schools, teacher to young people and their family units. We are currently serving in both Hackney and Tower Hamlets.

Overview of the BADU Support Line

BADU Phone now has Support line that provides a 7 day a week telephone service (1130am-930pm). This primarily focuses on promoting access to emotional support as well as support planning for families. This is a clinically and trauma informed service which recognises the uniqueness of the current crisis and its specific impact on vulnerable families. We seek to ensure their continued access to appropriate care and support during this time whilst complying to government advice and recommendations.

What the phone service will provide:

  • Listening – Sometimes this is enough in itself
  • Signposting – To appropriate services but will also look up this information for individuals as they may be unable to do this for themselves.
  • General wellbeing advice and emotional support
  • Practical support – callers may require practical support regarding structure to their day or how to manage day to day tasks.
  • Befriending Service - weekly calls to individuals who request this and keeping in touch with our most vulnerable families.
