  • Daylight – is an app and a website that provides a structured programme based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques. It is free and is aimed at supporting those who are struggling with anxiety and worry. Access here.  
  • Human Rights Town – is an app designed to empower people with learning disabilities to recognise and realise their human rights. Access here.  
  • TellMi – is an app that provides a safe space to connect with people of your age to discuss anything on your mind. Access here.
