we need you! *
We are held together by dedicated volunteers who know what it’s like to need a safe space.
Every week, our volunteers help create a warm, non-judgmental environment where people can rest, connect, eat, decompress, or simply not feel alone.
Our volunteers have their own lived experience of suicide, and bring deep care, compassion, and presence to the space.
We rely on the generosity of our community to offer their time, energy, and resources to keep our space completely free and accessible for all who need it.
How you can support our mission
-
Have you experienced suicidal thoughts, caring for someone who has, or been bereaved by suicide?
Sit with guests, help hold the atmosphere of the space, assist with food and drinks, facilitate activities, or simply offer a grounded presence.
No prior experience is necessary — comprehensive free training and ongoing support is provided.
Note: This work can be deeply meaningful, but it also asks for emotional presence, reliability, and care for both yourself and others.
We encourage volunteers to move at a pace that feels sustainable, and we aim to foster a supportive and reflective team environment.
If this resonates with you, we’d love to connect.
-
We welcome donations of money or supplied – including but not limited to lamps, food, tea, art supplies, comfort items, fidget toys, games, books, and other resources that help make the space feel nourishing and welcoming.
-
Are you a local artist, facilitator, organisation, or community member who resonates with the space? We’re always open to thoughtful collaborations and community offerings.

If you have any feedback or ideas on how we should run the space, feel free to let us know via the contact form below!
