What your organisation does
Space is an organisation which delivers a range of services and programmes across the Southern Health and Social Care Trust (SHSCT) Area in NI. All of these services are delivered through a community based social model of health approach and are run in partnership with other stakeholders, partner funders and organisations. Originally known as
South Down Family Health Initiative (SDFHI) SPACE began life in a small community house in Warrenpoint in 2003. The organisation grew with an increased demand for services to be delivered over a much wider area and in 2012 a strategic plan was developed. As s result of the strategic process, the decision was taken to move the administrative centre to Newry and rebrand the project to encompass the wide range of work the organisation covers. SPACE remains true to the values of SDFHI, working in a manner that is responsive to and respectful of, the perceptions and needs of people. The aim at SPACE is to reach out to individuals and families in need, helping them find strengths, overcome difficulties and build better futures. The work can be very practical, help with transport, homework clubs, parenting programmes, practical help with childcare/household management or may involve a range of more complex help where situations are more challenging. SPACE understands that family life is not always easy, life events like birth, death, depression, redundancy, separation, illness, abuse or financial problems all put stress and strain on family life and relationships. Additionally, SPACE is the lead organisation for the Newry and Mourne Family Support Hub working with a range of statutory and voluntary organisations to identify solutions for families who are going through tough times. There are three overarching areas to our work: Space 1- Supporting Parents and Children Space 2- Supporting People and Communities Space 3 -Supporting Potential and Community enterprise
