Safe Spaces

The first Thursday of the month, 9:30am to 12:30pm at Longridge Civic Hall Safe Space. Here you can find information and resources on suicide prevention and awareness in your local area, including information on regulating these feelings. Alongside this we have the Longridge weekly market, which hosts a variety of stalls including fresh fish and fresh fruit and vegetables. Come and grab a coffee with us.

We are also available in Blackburn Mall on 13 May 2026.

The UK Semicolon Project

Available across Lancashire. An annual project that begins every April. Please see our Projects page for more information.

Walk & Talk

Each month we provide an opportunity for you to get out and meet some new friends. Life can be difficult to navigate sometimes, but more so if you are on your own. Meet an hour before the walk at Longridge Civic Hall. Water and sandwiches are provided, but you can bring your own.

Times and locations may change. Please keep an eye on our social media pages. Confirmed walks are listed in dates coming up.

Art Week

Art is a good avenue for subconsciously regulating negative thoughts. From lived experience, just adding colours onto paper can really aid with deep healing. Art gives you a form of expressing your identity; it also allows you to exercise your motor skills.

During my childhood I utilised art as an escape. That's why we bring you these groups so that you too can have the experience of an escape. All materials are provided; you can just bring yourself. We also have things to make, including bracelets, keyrings, and diamond art.

• Tuesdays in Darwen: Darwen Urban Seed (times on socials; new groups starting April / May)
• Fridays in Longridge: 9:30am to 12:30pm at Longridge Library
