The project has received funding of £3.18m.

Member of the Senedd Lynne Neagle said: “This newly developed 24/7 bespoke service will provide a safe space for children and young people who are in need of crisis support for their mental health, and who would have otherwise found themselves in busy A&E or mental health wards.

“This will be invaluable to those who need it most and who are at their most vulnerable. I am delighted young people were involved in the development of the centre.

“They will also help relieve pressure on our emergency services.”
