Emerge Project at St Peter’s Hospital
Our youth workers who provide short term support for young people who find themselves in A&E because they are struggling with self-harm or feeling suicidal.
St Peter’s Hospital
The Emerge Project at St Peter’s Hospital is a joint project run by east to west and Emerge Advocacy, to provide support to young people. East to west is a local youth work charity in the Egham area.
We are there Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday on 17:30-19:30 and on Sunday between 19:30-22:30.
Just ask a member of staff about seeing us, and we’ll be there for you. If you attend St Peter’s Hospital but don’t happen to see us, you can email us at emerge@easttowest.org.uk and we will get back to you soon.

Meet the Team
My team are available at St. Peter’s Hospital in Chertsey for any young person admitted as a result of self-harm or attempted suicide. Working alongside the hospital’s clinical team, we help the young person understand what’s happening within the Emergency Department & Ash Ward. We are alongside them as they begin to reflect on what’s happened.
We help them explore the issues that prompted their actions and look at alternative ways of responding in the future.
When appropriate we can also continue to support them once they’re out of hospital ourselves or by connecting them with our east to west team in schools.
I joined the Emerge Project after witnessing the difference they were making with young people within St Peter’s Hospital. I am dedicated to supporting young people on their journey towards a better future and am determined to be beside them for as long as they need us whether that be in the hospital, their school or in the community.
