Crisis Cafe

Sometimes a pause is part of progressing forward💛

This week we’re taking a short break from our drop ins, social cafés and group sessions, for staff to recharge and prepare for exciting new developments ahead.

However, One to one appointments are still taking place, and our inbox remains open if you need support.

We’ll see you all again the following week beginning 20 July. . Thank you for being part of our community. ☕️

Need a third space to relax and socialise outside of home? Reminder that social bytes is still running throughout the summer from 330 on Wednesdays🍰

Social Bytes is a relaxed youth space for young people who want somewhere comfortable to spend time, connect, or focus, without the extra pressure.

It’s a place to drop in, grab a complimentary hot snack and drink, use laptops, Wi-Fi, or the printer, and settle in however suits you. Some people come to study quietly on their own, others meet friends, work together, or just enjoy being around people without having to perform.

There’s no expectation to socialise, and no right way to be. You can talk, create, concentrate, or simply exist in a space that’s designed to feel safe, calm, and welcoming.

Social Bytes is about community at your own pace, a space where you don’t have to fit in to belong.
Please note this cafe is strictly for 13-18yr olds
