Eat That Frog’s Torbay Youth Hub is a one-stop place for 16–24 year olds in Torbay who are looking for support with work, skills and your wellbeing.
The Eat That Frog Youth Hub brings together everything you need to move forward with wellbeing and employment in one place. You can get face-to-face support with jobs and careers, mental health, housing, money, digital skills and everyday independence, all under one roof. You will work with a dedicated mentor who gets to know you, listens properly and helps you create a clear plan. You can access one-to-one sessions, group activities or a mix of both depending on what suits you best. Support is practical, personalised and focused on real outcomes like work, training, education or volunteering, while also supporting your wellbeing along the way
Meet Andreas 
He is our Torbay Youth Hub Mentor, bringing loads of real-world experience and a super down-to-earth vibe. Andreas is big on fitness, running, gym sessions and healthy eating. He’s also a football fan who enjoys both playing and watching the game… especially when Manchester United are actually winning! And if he’s not doing that, you’ll probably find him out walking his dog.
