Space For You helps people suffering from poor mental/emotional health and isolation. We provide in house sessions of creative activities at our base in Penzance. Many people suffer from poor mental health yet do not qualify for NHS Mental Health Services because they are not in crisis or acutely ill. There is very little alternative support available in our area. West Cornwall has high levels of deprivation, with low average wages, high cost of living, limited and seasonal employment opportunities coupled with the problems of rural isolation, with limited and expensive public transport links. We provide a service at very low cost which enables clients to engage in creativity and to meet with fellow sufferers and staff to reduce isolation.
We provide art sessions twice a week on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Current funding for Thursdays is time limited. We offer a listening ear but do not provide counselling or structured art therapy.
