SERVICE DETAILS
Every childhood is special. It’s a time to learn and grow, to make friends, to discover. But there are challenges, big and small. From bullying and racism at school, to abuse, to problems at home, the pressures can quickly start to build up.
If that happens, we’re here. Space to grow offers free early help for children in the north east of Edinburgh aged 8 to 13, so that they can feel happier, supported, healthier and safer. In particular, we’ll be here for children from groups who ordinarily may not be well represented within wellbeing and mental health services, such as children from the global majority, young carers, LGBTQ+ children and young people and others.
With Space to grow, children can get the help they need to understand and deal with their feelings, build strong relationships, and communicate. Whether it’s one-to-one support, joining a workshop, or speaking to a specialist project worker online or by phone, children can get the support that’s right for them exactly when they need it. There’s advice, information, and resources for parents and carers too.
With Space to grow, children in the north east of Edinburgh can get support that helps them to flourish. To find out more, visit the Space to grow website or contact us at spacetogrow@childrenfirst.org.uk
