A Safe Space to Be Me are based in both Antrim and Crumlin, offering a place of sanctuary for the local community where they can come and make use of the facilities.
"The next day, she applied to the Charities Commission, she had a constitution sorted and had everything done that we needed to do. "In Crumlin we were initially based on Orchard Road before our current premises became available in 2019," Siobhain said. As the cost of fuel has risen, the charity have launched an Oil Club which allows the local area to club together to purchase oil at a discounted rate.
In addition to this, the group have recently launched a warm space scheme which offers a range of activities throughout the day including knitting, flower arranging, photography and cooking lessons so that people can come out and socialise without having to worry about putting the heating on.
