Testimonials

“Before, I was completely mute but now I can talk to people and try to make friends, all with the cafe’s help, It sounds dark but I honestly feel like I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for the cafe, I felt so lonely and isolated before.”

Testimonials

“The atmosphere is wonderful! It really feels homely in there and all the staff are easy to talk to, always my go-to place whenever I’m out and about.”

Testimonials

“Area 43 has been a saving grace for my mental health over the years. Youth workers have helped me through the hardest times in my life.”

Testimonials

“Coming here (Depot) for the past 3 years has done more for my confidence than almost a decade of support groups”

“Depot is a treasure to the community for young people. As a mental health sufferer this place has helped me get out of a dark place. The support I have received from the youth workers has changed me massively in ways I didn’t think was possible. I’ve made new friends, I’ve learned to accept myself for myself with my mental illness and I don’t feel like I’m figuring it out anymore. I have started to come out of the house more as I’m less anxious of the outside world. Depot has helped me more than any counselling ever has and I’m extremely grateful for everything they have done here for me and other young people.”

Jack, Vice-Chair of S3 (2023-2024)

“I have had an incredible time with S³ and it has really been life changing. S³ was a place I could learn, express myself through so many means, but it was also a safe space and I always felt comfortable to approach the people I was working with, and that had a really positive effect on my mental health.”

Sophie, Chair of S3 (2023-2024)

“The opportunities I alone have come by through my involvement with the Dyfodol Ni project has completely changed my life, and my idea  who and am and what I am actually capable of in the world. That to me is the greatest gift in this project, is knowing and proving to people in power, services and to young people themselves, with an outlet, support and a safe space to speak, young people can and absolutely will make innovative change.”
