Need a third space to relax and socialise outside of home? Reminder that social bytes is still running throughout the summer from 330 on Wednesdays🍰

Social Bytes is a relaxed youth space for young people who want somewhere comfortable to spend time, connect, or focus, without the extra pressure.

It’s a place to drop in, grab a complimentary hot snack and drink, use laptops, Wi-Fi, or the printer, and settle in however suits you. Some people come to study quietly on their own, others meet friends, work together, or just enjoy being around people without having to perform.

There’s no expectation to socialise, and no right way to be. You can talk, create, concentrate, or simply exist in a space that’s designed to feel safe, calm, and welcoming.

Social Bytes is about community at your own pace, a space where you don’t have to fit in to belong.
Please note this cafe is strictly for 13-18yr olds

At just 19 years old, Paschal wrote, produced and mastered the entire album himself, and has now seen it pressed onto vinyl a massive achievement and a testament to his creativity and dedication.

We’re so proud to see members of our community pursuing what they love and reaching milestones like this.
Congratulations, Paschal!! we can’t wait to see what’s next. 🌞🎶

You don’t need a boyfriend to need support.

Sometimes the person making you feel unsafe isn’t a partner.

It could be someone online. A ‘situationship’. An ex. A mutual friend. Someone at school, work, or in your community.

If something doesn’t feel right, you deserve support.

Safe Here, Safe Everywhere is a free, confidential drop-in café for women affected by gender-based violence. Whether you need advice, someone to listen, or simply a safe space to talk, you’re welcome.

📍 Crisis Café, Newry
🕚 Free, confidential support

DM us with the word “SAFE” if you’d like to find out more details or ask a question privately. You don’t have to go through it alone.
