Jack’s family and friends are having a huge fundraising drive for Crisis Cafe With lots of fundraising events and activities over the coming weeks and months.

They also have 4 relay teams in the Belfast Marathon and a full marathon runner all taking part to raise vital funds.

Please show your support and donate if you can via the just giving link below.

All monies raised will enable Crisis Cafe to offer young people easily accessible individual group and peer based mental health support.

Matilda, Jack and Liv share an important reminder: you don’t need to be in crisis to come to Crisis Cafe🧠

Everyone has mental health, and in uncertain times, young people deserve spaces where they can talk, feel heard, and realise they’re not alone🫂
A lot of young people worry they’re “faking it” or that their problems aren’t serious enough. The truth is, if something is weighing on you, it matters⭐️

You don’t have to wait until things get worse to reach out. Support is there for the everyday struggles too.

Join us tomorrow, Wednesday, from 3:30PM in Social Bytes🍰

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

✨🙌🏽✨

International Women’s Day 8 March ⭐️

This year’s theme, Give to Gain, reminds us that when we support one another, everyone grows stronger.

Giving time, kindness, understanding, and space for women to be heard can create powerful change. When women are supported, believed, and uplifted, communities become safer, healthier places for everyone.

At Crisis Cafe, we see every day how much it matters to have a place where women and girls can talk openly, feel supported, and know they are not alone.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can give is simply listening without judgement.

Let’s continue to support, uplift and stand beside the women and girls in our communities; today and every day. 💛

If you or someone you know needs support, Crisis Cafe offers discreet, professional one to one support in a safe and welcoming space.
