A Life in Balance

A huge thank you to everyone who supported my Kiltwalk on Sunday!

Megan's Space had over 100 walkers during the weekend raising vital funds to provide therapy for children and young people struggling with their mental health. Here are a few pics of the amazing team walking with me!

If your Christmas doesn’t look like everyone else’s… you’re not alone.
Our door is open for young people who find this time of year hard — whether you want to chat, sit quietly, or take a breather.

Christmas isn’t joyful for everyone — and that’s okay.

For some young people, the Christmas period can feel heavy, lonely, or overwhelming. Changes to routine, family pressures, and expectations can make this time of year particularly hard.

That’s why Megan’s Space will be opening our office over the Christmas period as a safe, calm place for young people who may be struggling or who don’t enjoy the holidays.

This is a warm, welcoming, and supportive space. There’s no pressure to feel festive and no expectation to share more than you want to.

Who this space is for:
• Young people under the age of 25
• Those who are feeling low, overwhelmed, or isolated
• Anyone looking for a safe place to sit, talk, or simply be

To help us keep the space safe for everyone, we ask that attendees:
• Are not under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Are able to engage respectfully with staff and others

Please note: this is not a crisis or emergency service. If you or someone you know needs immediate support, we encourage reaching out to emergency services or local crisis support.

Here, there’s no pretending — just understanding, warmth, and space to breathe.

💛 You’re welcome
💛 You’re not alone
💛 We’re here

📍 36b Ballot Road, Irvine, KA12 0HW
📅 Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve, and New Years Day
⏰ 11am - 7pm

If you know a young person who might benefit, please share.

“Mental Health isn’t a luxury - it’s a right.
Let’s keep speaking up until everyone feels seen. “

Today on world mental health day we are asked to consider how we can ensure everyone is seen and heard and has access to support and services, particularly in crisis.

As a charity we would like to apologise to you.

We have not been vocal enough in highlighting the lack of systemic support available to young people, indeed anyone, and their families, in need of support.

We are so thankful to all who have helped support Megan’s Space and other mental health charities, ensuring that we are indeed available, and that there is somewhere to turn to.

If you presented with a blocked artery you wouldn’t be told to go away and come back when you are actually experiencing a heart attack.

Sadly, people expressing mental health challenges and issues are being told to go away and come back when they are in acute crisis.

Please let these people know they are seen and heard by you, friends and family, and please give them hope.

Let them know that there is a better, brighter future available to them.

Encourage them to become an expert in their thoughts and feelings and to reach out to the many agencies who will listen, will support and possibly provide therapeutic interventions that can and do help.

Your life matters isn’t a slogan it is truth and we promise to become more visible and louder fighting to create quick, accessible, high quality, compassionate and effective support and interventions with you and for you.
