A Peterborough Mental Health Project built around Young People, Not Paperwork

14 to 19

The ages we focus on, with mentoring and steady support.

Peterborough

Local work, local people, local impact.

One to One

Real conversations and guidance that helps with next steps.

The mission of our organisation

We support young people in Peterborough who are dealing with pressure, grief, anger, anxiety, or just too much too soon. Our aim is simple. Help them feel seen, stay safe, and have better options in front of them than the ones that cause harm.

Mentoring and guidance

One to one support for young people aged 14 to 19. Regular check ins, someone steady to talk to, and help making sense of what is going on without judgement.

Mental health support that feels human

A space to talk about stress, panic, anger, or feeling low, with practical coping support. When specialist help is needed, we help point young people and families in the right direction.

Opportunities and next steps

We are building routes into work experience, training, and positive activities in Peterborough, so young people can see a future that is bigger than what is right in front of them.

Our volunteers

If you want to support young people in Peterborough, sign up for updates and let us know about your interests in becoming a volunteer. We will share roles, training, and next steps when we open applications.

Our Team

We are a small team based in Peterborough, built from real life experience in barbering, youth work, and frontline support. Everything we do comes back to young people aged 14 to 19 and what actually helps in the real world.

We focus on trust, consistency, and practical programmes that give young people space to talk, learn skills, and see better options in front of them.

Have questions? We have answers!

Why was the Ritzy Foundation started?

Accordion icon 01Accordion icon 01

The Ritzy Foundation was started after a traumatic attack at our barbershop, which had always been a place of community and connection. We chose to turn that experience into something positive by creating a charity that supports young people in Peterborough with mentoring, guidance, and better opportunities.
