Making friends in your 20s is really hard, especially when you don’t know where to go or start 💌

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

Sometimes the signs that a friend isn’t feeling safe are small.

They might cancel plans, become quieter, seem anxious around their partner or apologise for things that aren’t their fault.

You don’t need to know exactly what’s happening, and you don’t need to have all the answers. Start gently: check in, listen, leave judgement aside and please remind them you’re there.

A simple “I’ve noticed you haven’t seemed yourself lately, are you okay?” can open the door when they’re ready.

Safe Here, Safe Everywhere Drop-In Café is a relaxed, confidential space to talk about relationships, boundaries, respect, healthy communication, warning signs, or concerns about yourself or a friend
* No booking needed
* Held twice a month. 💛
