Keep the Doors Open Fund

Aim

Your Space is in danger of closing. This fundraiser will cover our overheads so we can continue our vital support for children with Autism.

Your Space is in danger of closing. In spite of the efforts of our amazing staff we find ourselves having to launch this emergency fundraising campaign to save our charity.

We are sharing this URGENT message with you requesting your support.

At Your Space we are passionate about young people with Autism getting access to the activities and social activities they need. Our young people feel safe and accepted when they walk through our doors and we have to honour of watching them grow in confidence and develop friendships. We become a network of support for our families who can feel incredibly isolated due to the challenges that face them daily.

Over the last 13 years Your Space has become a truly special place that has had a positive impact on the lives of children with Autism and their families. We have become a safe place for these young people to be themselves.

The loss of this charity would have a massive impact on the community and the lives of children with Autism and their families.

Please can you support us and help to secure the future of Your Space and the vital work it provides.

This is a now or never moment for Your Space. 

We will use all funds raised to keep our doors open as we continue to work on sustainable funding streams.

All donations are a lifeline to the charity and the families we support.

Your Space is at a crisis point. 

This appeal may seem very sudden, but we have been working tirelessly for over a year keeping the charity running and protecting the families we support.

However, we have exhausted all other options, we have been hopeful that grant funders will support our cause but competition for funding is fierce.

This fundraiser will help us secure our immediate future. This will allow us to stabilise, develop a robust and responsible plan for the future of Your Space.

Now the future for Your Space hangs in the balance the Trustees feel it is right to share our position publicly. The Your Space team are determined to overcome this difficult time and emerge stronger.

We need your help. 

Every donation matters to us. Every share on social media counts. Every conversation where you are spreading the word about Your Space can make a difference. Please reach out to any connections you may have that could support our cause.

We will have lots of fundraisers coming up please keep up to date on our social media.

We are not closing the doors without a final determined push towards the future of Your Space.

What parents say about us...

“When we were struggling to get the right support we needed within the SEN schools Your Space were there when we needed them. Your Space supported us during this journey. The smiles says it all. Your space are more than a charity and friendship they have become like a family member over the years.”

“It's the only support we do have really. I'm so grateful for Your Space especially during school holidays when my son’s emotional status can get quite angry due to the lost routine of school. Holiday club allows him some time away from all us and in a safe environment, just like school. It's honestly a game changer for all of us! Forever grateful. His mood after his session yesterday has already lifted. I don't have enough vocabulary to explain how grateful we are.”

“Amazing service be lost without the support and guidance to family with no support for autistic children and adults can’t describe how grateful I am for their services”

What our Young People think about Your Space
