“A Community is a group of people who share a common interest or goal. At its core, a Community is about people and the relationships they share.”

“The greatest sense of Community comes within our Community Clubs and their volunteers. Getting involved within our Community Clubs can contribute to a real sense of purpose and make that Community feel.”

“Safe Spaces is a network of organisations offering same day urgent mental health support for anyone aged seven and over, including children, young people, and adults in emotional distress or crisis.”
Thursday – Self-Harm Support
“Support for children and young people who are self-harming.”
Friday – Signs of Suicide
“But when someone is thinking of ending their life, they may do one or more of these warning signs.”
Saturday – Lifelines
“If you, or someone you know, is feeling like they want to die, it’s important to tell someone.”
