A Safe Space to be Me was born in March 2016 and very quickly grew from a very small grass roots community group based in Antrim to one that now has 2 main bases in the Northern Trust locality but provides outreach across N.I.

​

A Safe Space to be Me, as we know it now, came about when our Senior Director moved to Crumlin with her family (4 neurodivergent children with additional needs) and very quickly realised that Crumlin had no service provision (other than a GP and Dental Surgery), within the community across the board. 

After a lot of hard work behind the scenes, sleepless nights and very long hours, the vision became reality, and in August 2019 we acquired the premises for our Crumlin Community Hub. Our vision is one of inclusivity and togetherness to break down barriers that keep different sections of the community apart, lonely and isolated. We want to promote emotional well-being, engagement of services, and family support through a variety of means within the community of Crumlin in a space that is neutral and accessible to all.

​

As a grass roots community organisation whose main focus is around neuro-affirming, mental health and emotional wellbeing, we believe that the work we do benefits individuals of all ages, with a view to developing life skills and resilience, and also encourage the individuals to connect and become part of the larger community.

​

A community in which everyone matters.
