 A new mental health crisis support service called Hounslow Safe Space will open on Wednesday, 1 April. It will be available for anyone 18 and over who lives in Hounslow. It will be based at the BridgeLink Centre in Isleworth and will be open seven days a week from 2pm to 10pm, including bank holidays.
The service provides a safe, calm, and welcoming space where individuals can receive immediate support without needing to attend A&E. The aim is to reduce distress, help people feel heard, and support them to regain stability in the moment.
Residents can attend the safe space without an appointment or referral, although you can make a referral for someone if you wish. Please contact Hestia Area Manager Catherine Fallon for more information.

The day’s packed programme includes opportunities to network with community organisations and speakers who’ll be exploring how volunteering can transform lives and create new horizons for women.
Volunteering can be great for your mental and physical health, as well as supporting women in your community who need help with theirs.
 The Hounslow Wellbeing Network (HWN) is developing a new youth-led programme for Hounslow.
It's designed to better understand and support the mental health and wellbeing of young people aged 16-25 by creating a safe and creative space for them to feel connected and engaged.
HWN has created a short survey to gather insights into young people’s current attitudes and feelings toward factors that contribute to wellbeing. The survey is anonymous and should only take around five minutes to complete.
The findings will directly inform the design of future wellbeing activities and ensure that any support offered reflects what young people need and want.
As the days grow lighter and brighter, it's the perfect time to shake off that winter chill and step outside.
Embrace the energy of spring by walking, cycling, running, or wheeling your way into exciting rewards with the free BetterPoints app.
Every outdoor activity you log earns you BetterTickets for a daily prize draw.
Prizes of up to £50 worth of BetterPoints, which can be exchanged for high-street vouchers, are available throughout March.
