It most likely works within about 6 miles of its Sidcup office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us.

At its latest inspection, published August 2022, the CQC rated YourLife (Sidcup) Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
