Kat’s Story:
Hopespace is a warm and welcoming space where people feel safe. Staff and volunteers know how to offer positive support and take time to listen to the stories people bring. We try to be non-judgemental, while also being aware of how people present themselves and might be feeling…
During the session, we play board games, have a chat, see where they are with their benefits or other issues they may have. Maybe signpost to helpful organisations.
I believe in giving back to society and feel lucky that I can. It’s good to be part of your community and contribute, as I know that services across the country are stretched… I don’t need to be needed, but I was supported and want to keep that part of me alive. Even on a once a week basis, it’s about keeping that energy going. Being part of something is nice.
