Crisis Cafe

Today might bring you celebrations, disappointment, relief, uncertainty, or a little mix of everything.

However your GCSE results turned out, they don’t define your worth or decide your entire future. There is more than one route to get where you want to go, and you don’t have to figure it all out today!

Be proud of how far you have come, be gentle with yourself, and remember that Crisis Cafe is here if you need someone to talk to, celebrate with or simply sit beside💛

Thursdays at 4.30pm 📸 See your community differently. Tell its story through your own lens.

My Community Through a Youth Lens is a new photography project for young people aged 13 upwards

Learn photography skills, improve your phone camera, meet new people and capture the places, people and stories that matter most to you.

Whether you’ve never picked up a camera or already love taking photos, this project is for you.

📩 DM us to pre-register.

Need a third space to relax and socialise outside of home? Reminder that social bytes is running from 330 on Wednesdays🍰

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
