Crisis Cafe

Men who kill women don't fit a single profile.

Over the past weeks, our hard-hitting. femicide campaign has challenged assumptions through a series of films featuring a neighbour, a husband and a elderly man.

Different faces, different roles, but one message.

There is no typical perpetrator.

If you’re worried about your safety or someone else’s, you can call the 24hr Domestic and Sexual Abuse Helpline on 0808 802 1414.
Or find further help and support here: https://www.newrymournedown.org/safeguarding

Sometimes, your break just needs a little break as a young adult💌

Link Sessions is a relaxed, welcoming space for women and gender diverse young people aged 18–25 in Newry.

Come along this week for junk journalling, a complimentary coffee/ sweet treats, and a chance to meet people without any pressure to be outgoing or have it all figured out.

You can chat, create, sit quietly or simply take your time. You don’t need to know anyone before coming.

Need a third space to relax and socialise outside of home? Reminder that social bytes is running 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
