Helping all those that ask for it in our community
Our Journey So Far...
Over the last five years we have successfully established a base in Aberdeenshire which can offer individuals suffering from mental health issues the opportunity to speak to trained volunteers when they most need it.
Shirley's Space is a free walk-in centre, offering individuals the ability to have a discreet and non-stigmatising route to potential help.
Within the facility are trained counselors and volunteers who will offer users an opportunity to discuss their issues and arrange a plan to prevent the problem growing.
We know that it is a big step to reach out and talk, but we are here for you if you just need a chat; someone to listen; or simply a little 'timeout' to collect your thoughts and breathe.
Stay strong, we are here.
Our text messaging times are 10am-4pm Monday to Friday
