We love this so much 🫶

Our LGBT+ Off the Record Bath & NES youth workers Georgia, Connor and Jack are doing a brilliant job of sharing our Save Our Space appeal, and these mini Otis (Oti is our Space mascot) are adorable!

Take a look to find out how much we’ve raised, thanks to our incredible community, to protect Space, Bath & North East Somerset’s only LGBTQ+ youth service.

We have until 30 November to raise £10,000, and we can’t do it without you! Here’s how you can help:

- Make a donation or set up a fundraiser via the link below

We’re one week into our Save Our Space appeal and we’ve been blown away by your support. 🎉

Since we launched, we’ve raised more than £2,300 (nearly £2,900 with Gift Aid). Thank you so much to everyone who has donated and shared the appeal.

Your support has moved us closer to our £10,000 goal and shown our young people that their community cares about them and understands how important Space is.

Thank you also for the messages of support. The comments on our appeal page have brought many of us to tears!

If you haven’t donated yet, please consider giving today:

https://donate.giveasyoulive.com/campaign/save-our-space

We have until 30 November to reach our goal of raising £10,000, and every donation, big or small, will make a difference.

Thank you so much, and please share!

This , Mental Health Foundation is encouraging us to talk more openly about mental health and to share our experiences.

As a youth mental health and wellbeing charity, we couldn’t agree more. Not only because conversations about mental health can help young people feel less alone, but also because it can encourage them to ask for help before they reach a point of crisis.

So today we’re sharing two things:

1. How we support young people living, working or studying in Bath & North East Somerset, and how to get in touch.

2. Active listening tips from the Mental Health Foundation, to help us talk more openly and really listen to each other.

https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/explore-mental-health/blogs/how-good-listening-skills-can-support-someones-mental-health-and-wellbeing

Together, we can change how we talk about and take care of our mental health.

P.s If you have any questions about accessing our services or making a referral, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Can you help us Save Our Space? 🌈

Space, Bath & North East Somerset's only LGBTQ+ youth service, is at risk, and we have until 30 November to protect it.

Since 2012, through our regular youth groups and 1:1 youth work, young people aged 13-21 have found safety, friendship and adults who understand and accept them at Space.

Due to immense pressure on our sector and funders, we're facing a £10,000 funding gap. If we can't close it by 30 November, we'll have no choice but to reduce the service from March.

We are determined not to let that happen.

While our team continues to work tirelessly to secure long-term funding, we're asking our incredible supporters to donate to our new fundraising appeal, 'Save Our Space'.

Every pound will help keep this service running.

Just 24 hours left to support this year's Big BaNES 100k!

Since May, our intrepid challengers have been walking, cycling, swimming and fundraising for our charity and Mentoring Plus more than £2,000 🥳

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and donated, especially in a summer that made things extra tough.

Can you help us give more young people access to vital, life-changing support?

There are still 24 hours left to donate, and your gift will be divided between our charity and Mentoring Plus.

How do we mark ***dePreventionDay, when in the UK PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Su***de, went into administration on Tuesday due to extraordinary pressure and a lack of reliable funding?

Children and young people need more support, not less, and as a charity providing free mental health services for 2,000 young people in Bath & North East Somerset every year, we are deeply concerned by the enormous gap in support that now exists for those in crisis.

So, as we reflect on the pressure facing essential youth services, we want to let young people in our community know that we are here.

If you're struggling right now or know a young person who is, support is available the following organisations are here:

Campaign Against Living Miserably
NHS
Mind
Samaritans
Shout

And for young people living, working or studying in Bath & North East Somerset, our free mental health services are here too. You can learn more via our website or by contacting our team:

Don't let the rain put you off…

Because the weather actually looks great for the final Big BaNES 100k community walk on Tuesday 15 September at 6pm.

Organised and led by Annie Legge and The Bath 5k Map crew, this 5km circular and social walk will start at Claverton Down and head down into Monkton Combe.

If you're looking to stretch your legs, meet some new people, or clock up another few kilometres for your Big BaNES 100k, please join us!

No need to book a ticket, but a donation to Annie's Sunset Walks page would be gratefully received. All donations will support our charity and Mentoring Plus 💙💚

Can't make it? We'd love you to donate to Annie's fundraiser.

Every pound will give young people the support they need to improve their mental health.

A huge thank you to the trustees of the Wealthtime Foundation, and everyone who donates to support its charitable work.

OTR has recently received a generous £2,500 donation to support our free mental health services for young people in Bath & North East Somerset.

As our Interim CEO, Karen Black said:

"At a time when referrals to our listening and counselling service have increased significantly over the last year, we are deeply grateful for Wealthtime's support.

Their generous donation will fund 100 twenty-minute listening sessions and therapist training to enhance our young-person centred practice.

With their help, we can respond to the growing youth mental health crisis and give young people a safe space where they can feel heard and find a way forward."
