It will enable conversation and provide a place where individuals can share perspectives whilst building a strong feedback culture. Feedback is so valuable - especially within any safe space, for community partnerships with local charities and non-profits serving the community or even public services such as The NHS, Policing & Firefighting. A Safe Space is the perfect setting where potential allies can show their support and people with a minority can avoid those who potentially target others with ideals of harm.
Like the Pride Hub from Pride in Surrey, the Miwk inclusive safe space provides that safe & respectful setting with care, thus enabling a time and space for someone to reflect and communicate when the time is right for them.
Providing a variety of workshops and drop-in sessions, the Miwk inclusive safe space aims to be a place that its users will become familiar with and adapt according to any purpose. From arts and crafts to sexual or mental health social support groups, the inclusive space is a space that, in time, will flex as to the needs of people that may need it.
Finally, an inclusive safe space is a visible safe space! The visibility of safety through flags and/or literature provides anyone who may be struggling, some hope. A safe space is known for many to be the only place they may visit in a week and having a safe space in Reigate could potentially drive positive conversation surrounding diversity and inclusion, potentially saving a life.
