Safe Space Movement is a shared space for anybody to be able to access if they feel they need mental health support.
Real words, real meanings and we hope that people will find stories that resonate with themselves and what they are going through.
We are a group of individuals passionate about supporting people from all walks of life.
We hope to be that early intervention service for our community, letting you know that there are people here who want and are willing to listen.
You are not alone.
We do need to make it clear that we are not a crisis line although our volunteers are all trained to the highest level in terms of interventions and are able to signpost and support if necessary. Disclaimer

Safe Space Movement’s Motivation
On the 15th of July 2020, my Mum phoned me distressed and crying. I knew something terrible had happened. My 24-year-old nephew “Calvin” was found dead, hanging in his home. Calvin was a handsome, intelligent, empathetic, strong young man. He had a fantastic job, a nice car, always out having fun. Everyone looked up to Calvin. He was the brother and friend everyone would go to for advice on their life problems. He was the person always there to help.
The pressures of bills, depression, life amidst Covid 19 had become too much for this beautiful young man, and he just didn’t reach out to anyone. The irony that so many people had turned up to show their respects, who loved and admired him. Every one of them would have been there to help.
No matter how hard things are someone is always there to listen. Just reach out.
Big Love,
Daniel Light
