This week was national Youth Work Week and we have been looking back and reflecting on the difference our charity makes.

Every future begins somewhere—and often, it starts with a trusted adult who sees potential in a young person before they even recognize it in themselves. Youth work isn't just about running activities; it's about providing a safe space to grow, offering a listening ear, and creating a place where every young person feels they truly belong.

Youth work is so much more than a service—it’s a space to connect, share, and be genuinely supported. From helping someone build the confidence to try something new, to empowering young volunteers as tomorrow's leaders, youth work brings out the very best in our communities.

45 communities, one big challenge and a brilliant cause!

We're delighted to be supported by Cllr Chris Edmonds, Mayor of West Devon, who is taking on a special challenge during his 2026–27 mayoral year! Chris has set himself the challenge of visiting 45 towns and parishes across West Devon, raising vital funds for SPACE Youth Services along the way.

At SPACE, we believe every young person deserves a safe place to belong, build confidence, make friends and discover their potential. Through our youth centres, outreach work and dedicated support services, we help young people across Devon thrive.

With the Mayor's Civic Service taking place this Sunday 18th October, it's a brilliant opportunity to celebrate his challenge so far and help spread the word!
A huge thank you to Cllr Edmonds for choosing to support SPACE and helping us make a difference to young people's lives.

Could you help support his challenge?

Every donation, big or small, will help us continue creating opportunities and safe spaces for young people across Devon.

A big THANK YOU! to Adventure Okehampton for letting us use Bracken Tor on Tuesday night for our final Year 6 to Year 7 Transition Forest School session. The youth workers all thought it was a really fun night and we hope all the Juniors did too. Learning to use flint and steel to light a fire, cooking hot dogs on the fire, using secateurs and bushcraft knives to craft the perfect marshmallow stick and lots and lots of running around and letting off steam. Thank you for all your positive and constructive feedback and a HUGE thank you to Okehampton United Charities for supporting us and enabling all this to happen.

Please note that on Monday 19th, THE HANGOUT will not be open

The following week - in half term we will not be opening any evening sessions but we will instead be working together with young people to re-decorate the building and (weather permitting) working to spruce up the garden. This will be during the day on Monday 26th Oct and Tuesday 27th October. We have a limited number of spaces for volunteers so talk to a youth worker or comment below this post if you are interested.

We are back as normal the week beginning 2nd of November

SPACE is working with Devon County Council to help the Public Health team understand more about young people's use of products containing ni****ne - their smoking and va**ng habits. This survey is short and straightforward and completely anonymous. Insights gained will help shape policy moving forward. Please help us to reach as many young people as possible. Young people who do not smoke or v**e are also invited to take part.
