A Safe Space for ADHD
At A Safe Space to Be Me, we provide neurodivergent-affirming support for individuals with ADHD and other neurotypes, their families, caregivers, and the environments they live and work in.
We recognise that having an ADHD Neurotype intersects with other neurodivergent experiences and can shape every area of life, from emotional wellbeing, relationships, identity to learning and employment (and everything else in between) .
Our services are designed to reflect this complexity. We offer bespoke support for all neurodivergent individuals. From neurodivergent peer support spaces, ADHD-informed counselling, family and parent workshops, and practical tools that honour diverse communication styles, sensory needs, and executive functioning differences.
We collaborate with the Trusts, schools, service providers, and workplaces to promote better understanding, inclusion, and adjustments that make a real difference. Grounded in a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach, our work centres on not only lived experience, supports self-advocacy, and fosters authentic connection.
Whether you're navigating diagnosis, seeking strategies that work for you, or supporting someone you care about, we’re here to walk alongside you.

Training & Workshops
Recognised Training and Bespoke Workshops for Meaningful Neurodivergent Inclusion
We also offer recognised training services and bespoke workshops tailored to the needs of both professionals and service users. Our workshops are grounded in not only lived experience, but the most up-to-date research, designed to deepen understanding of living with an ADHD neurotype and neurodivergence in a neurotypical-world context.
Whether you’re a Doctor, Psychiatrist, Counsellor, teacher, support worker, healthcare provider, community worker or part of the neurodivergent community, our workshops and training are interactive, practical, and shaped by the voices of those with lived experience.

The Crumlin Hub
The Hub in Crumlin first opened its doors in 2019 and has continued to grow and evolve in response to the changing needs of our community.
The Hub is a welcoming, purpose space that brings people together. It hosts a wide range of activities, including community classes, wellbeing workshops, educational programmes, and partner-led events. Designed to be flexible and inclusive, the Hub provides a space where individuals, families, and local groups can connect, learn, and thrive.
As a mental health charity, we take a holistic, service-user-led approach, supporting wellbeing in all areas of life, not just through counselling.

Recognised for Excellence in Volunteering
In 2021, we were honoured to receive the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, the highest recognition given to volunteer groups in the UK. Presented in a civic ceremony at Antrim Castle Gardens by Lord Lieutenant Mr. David McCorkell, it was a proud and memorable moment that celebrated the dedication of our incredible team and wider community.
We are also one of the youngest charities in the UK to have received this award.
This recognition reflects the heart of who we are, a charity built on inclusion, compassion, and opportunity. Our approach to volunteering is grounded in our belief that everyone has something valuable to contribute. We are especially committed to creating roles and pathways for neurodivergent individuals and others who may face barriers to traditional employment. Through meaningful, supported volunteering experiences, we aim to build confidence, develop skills, and open doors to future opportunities, all while strengthening the community we serve.
As a completely volunteer-led organisation, we are always looking for passionate people to join our team. Whether you can offer a few hours a week or occasional support at events, every contribution helps us continue providing vital services and creating a safe, welcoming space for all.
