Ask Sherlock

Ask Sherlock is a local online directory of services and positive activities for children, young people, parents, families and practitioners. The directory combines and replaces some of the online service directories across Portsmouth City Council's Children's Services, including the Portsmouth Children's Trust's Children and Young People Services (CHYPS) Directory, the Portsmouth Connexions A-Z Directory and the Portsmouth CHAT Family Information Service directory.

The directory holds information on services, places to go and things to do in the Portsmouth area. From breakfast clubs and baby massage classes to sports venues and special needs support, it has a wealth of information on a range of subjects.
