Anyone aged 7 years and over living in Bradford District and Craven can access urgent same-day support from Safe Spaces at our Bradford, Keighley and Shipley Hubs.
Safe Spaces can help you if you’re experiencing:
“The place is a literal haven from the panic and insecurity I have sometimes felt. It is a life-saver, and such a comfort to know that someone can speak to you in person during periods of isolation”.
“The session did me the world of good. It was a complete safety net, as if I had previously been falling. It gave me hope. It was great to have a taxi provided so there was no worry about where I was going.”
“It’s always such a comfort to talk and share that time together. I’m out and about today, which feels refreshing, and I’m really grateful to be feeling better. We had a heartfelt conversation about Christmas and how he’s been feeling, and I truly appreciate those moments.”
“It was nice to talk to someone who listened. It was nice to get a different perspective on the issues I’m facing, and I felt like my feelings were validated. The service was very accommodating”
