Christmas isn’t joyful for everyone — and that’s okay.

For some young people, the Christmas period can feel heavy, lonely, or overwhelming. Changes to routine, family pressures, and expectations can make this time of year particularly hard.

That’s why Megan’s Space will be opening our office over the Christmas period as a safe, calm place for young people who may be struggling or who don’t enjoy the holidays.

This is a warm, welcoming, and supportive space. There’s no pressure to feel festive and no expectation to share more than you want to.

Who this space is for:
• Young people under the age of 25
• Those who are feeling low, overwhelmed, or isolated
• Anyone looking for a safe place to sit, talk, or simply be

To help us keep the space safe for everyone, we ask that attendees:
• Are not under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Are able to engage respectfully with staff and others

Please note: this is not a crisis or emergency service. If you or someone you know needs immediate support, we encourage reaching out to emergency services or local crisis support.

Here, there’s no pretending — just understanding, warmth, and space to breathe.

💛 You’re welcome
💛 You’re not alone
💛 We’re here

📍 36b Ballot Road, Irvine, KA12 0HW
📅 Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve, and New Years Day
⏰ 11am - 7pm

If you know a young person who might benefit, please share.

ℹ️ Content note: This post discusses su***de and men’s mental health. ℹ️

Four in five su***des are by men. Su***de remains the leading cause of death for men under 35.

Behind every number is someone’s mate, brother, dad, son, or workmate, and far too many of them are struggling in silence. Men are often taught to “man up” or keep things to themselves, but bottling it up only makes things heavier.

But mental health challenges don’t discriminate. Stress, anxiety, depression, and burnout can affect anyone, and for many men, it can feel hard to reach out or know where to start. That silence can be deadly. This Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, we encourage you to continue checking in on your mates, listening without judgement, or opening up about how you’re really feeling as it can make a huge difference. Talking doesn’t make you weak, it helps you heal, and it could save a life.

If you’d like to get confidential, professional support at any time of the day or night, text RELEASE to 85258 💙

A fab local support group for men

Sometimes, being a man can feel like being a ghost.

We bury our emotions deep inside, haunted by the unresolved trauma of life’s battles.

Behind the smiles, the jokes, and the laughter, many of us carry hidden scars — pain we never speak about.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Andy’s Man Club is here for every man over 18.
It’s a safe place to talk, to listen, and to be heard — no judgment, no pressure, just support.

We meet every Monday from 7 to 9 pm (except bank holidays).
Come along and experience the magic of being part of something real —
because you’re not alone, and you never have to be again.

“Mental Health isn’t a luxury - it’s a right.
Let’s keep speaking up until everyone feels seen. “

Today on world mental health day we are asked to consider how we can ensure everyone is seen and heard and has access to support and services, particularly in crisis.

As a charity we would like to apologise to you.

We have not been vocal enough in highlighting the lack of systemic support available to young people, indeed anyone, and their families, in need of support.

We are so thankful to all who have helped support Megan’s Space and other mental health charities, ensuring that we are indeed available, and that there is somewhere to turn to.

If you presented with a blocked artery you wouldn’t be told to go away and come back when you are actually experiencing a heart attack.

Sadly, people expressing mental health challenges and issues are being told to go away and come back when they are in acute crisis.

Please let these people know they are seen and heard by you, friends and family, and please give them hope.

Let them know that there is a better, brighter future available to them.

Encourage them to become an expert in their thoughts and feelings and to reach out to the many agencies who will listen, will support and possibly provide therapeutic interventions that can and do help.

Your life matters isn’t a slogan it is truth and we promise to become more visible and louder fighting to create quick, accessible, high quality, compassionate and effective support and interventions with you and for you.

And if you are in a position to help us either financially or as a volunteer also visit the website and follow the links.

Thank you for being part of our community and please love and share x

Today marks World Su***de Prevention Day and we are encouraged to consider how one conversation can change your life.

I would encourage you to think about that invitation not as a challenge to seek somebody who may be contemplating su***de but as a reminder that each and every conversation we have is with somebody who may be in need of a listening ear, some reassurance, a kind smile or a reminder that they are okay and everything will be okay.

In many of the conversations we have on behalf of Megan’s Space there is one consistent similarity, and that is that a very high percentage of people share with us their own experience of personal challenge or personal loss.

They also share with us how one person listening and talking helped change their lives for the better.

So for today and every day, please remember you can make a difference.
You do make a difference both for yourself and for the other people whose lives you touch.

It’s okay to ask. It’s okay to listen. It’s okay to reach out. 🧡 Today and every day your words matter, your support matters, you matter.

Just a reminder that if you find World Su***de Prevention Day hard, for any reason, it really is OK to switch off from social media tomorrow. Take care of yourselves 💚
