Need a third space to relax and socialise outside of home? Reminder that social bytes is still running throughout the summer 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

Come along this week for junk journalling, a complimentary coffee/ sweet treats, and a chance to meet people without any pressure to be outgoing or have it all figured out.

Home shouldn’t feel like a countdown.

If you’re worried about being asked to leave, sofa surfing, or unsure how long you can stay where you are, you don’t have to wait until you’re homeless to ask for help.

Talk to us. We’ll listen, help you understand your options and support you through what comes next. 💛

Do you enjoy writing, journaling, poetry, storytelling, or just want a calm, creative space to get things out of your head and onto the page?😁

Our Creative Writing Group is a relaxed, supportive space where you can explore ideas, try gentle writing activities, and connect with others your age in a youth led environment, with no pressure to share and no expectations to be “good” at writing.

You can come to write quietly, take part in games and prompts, build confidence, or simply enjoy having space to express yourself in your own way. Whether you love words or don’t know where to start, you are welcome.
No experience needed. Just come as you are.
