Melo and more

Welcome to Melo aND More

Melo aND More is a free, welcoming service for children and young people aged 0–25, along with their parents, carers and families, across Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

Whether you're feeling worried, overwhelmed, struggling with your emotions, or looking for advice about neurodiversity, we're here to help. We provide early support before problems become bigger, helping children, young people and families build confidence, resilience and the skills they need to thrive.

Everyone's journey is different. That's why we listen first, understand what matters most to you, and work with you to create the right support. Some people only need information or a one-off conversation, while others may benefit from ongoing support or specialist services.

A Single Point of Access (SPA). This team will:

Working Together

We believe the best outcomes happen when everyone works together.

With your consent, we can work alongside:

• Schools
• GPs
• Health services
• Social care
• Community organisations
• Voluntary sector partners

This joined-up approach helps ensure children and families receive coordinated support without having to tell their story multiple times.
