Straight from the group

Space saved my life; I don’t think that’s a stretch to say at all.

The group I met up with on the Saturday mornings were exactly what I needed.

They all greeted me with warmth and helped me to mentally cope with what I was going through, by having chats with me and helping me integrate with the group. Everybody always tries to help others smile. I don’t think I could ever stop the walks now.

It’s helped me get control and a healthier routine.

The group was very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable.

Space North East has helped me manage my anxiety.

Met new friends, gave me a better way to spend my time.

Feel a lot more comfortable opening up.

Really look forward to the walks on a Saturday morning when I’m free.

Everyone’s really friendly and approachable.

It’s been a source of support and connection amidst a period of loss and restructure.

It’s offered a more enriched connective network.

I don’t know where I’d be without it to be honest.

The lads, the support, everything. It’s changed my life.
