Teen Space - The Well-being Cafe
Okehampton, Devon, United Kingdom
Aim: We want to create a safe place for teenagers to be themselves, access free hot meals, therapeutic activities & to make friends.
The Teen Space started in July 2023, the idea of this was to provide a safe 'teen only' space where young people in our community could come, chill with their friends & access a free hot meal. We started with only 4-5 teens each week. Fast forward to July 2024, and we have 25 teens each week, have to borrow chairs from a local church & we are running out of space!
Each week we provide a homemade, fresh hot meal to all teens that access the space, they can have free drinks & have access to therapeutic activities.
Due to huge success we would like to increase our Teen Space to 2 night a week! The money raised in this crowdfunder will go towards the running of these sessions, the food provided & the activities offered. We hope to use this as match funding toward other grant applications!
100% of teens surveyed said their mental health & well-being had improved since accessing Teen Space.
100% said they felt it was a safe space.
Mental health struggles in our young people is at an all time high, please support us to provide a safe place for our teens!!!
