Not sure what to say when calling up?
Well, if you call the PACE main number (0207 700 1323 - office hours) you could try this: "Hello - I'd like to talk to someone about booking a one2one session with a youth worker, please." And we'll take it from there.
If a member of the youth work team is unavailable when you call, please leave an email address and/or contact number we'll get back to you as soon as we can. We aim to answer all emails within 5 days of receiving them.
