YOUNG people are being offered help to handle issues such as bullying and sexual health using a pack of cards.

Trust Thamesmead's youth forum came up with the idea of creating a pack of playing cards, each of which contains advice and information about an individual topic.

As well as the serious subjects, there are also cards giving information about facilities, activities and groups for young people in the town.

The cards have already been given out at secondary schools and during the next few weeks they will also be handed to groups involving young people.

Packs can also be picked up from the Trust Thamesmead offices at 19a Joyce Dawson Way, Thamesmead.
