Megan's Space

Megan's Space provides essential support, advocacy and therapeutic services to young people, 25 and under, who are unable to access, in a timely way, the help they need through traditional routes whether due to cost, access or perceived taboo. We also provide mental wellbeing education and "safe spaces" for young people to explore how best to navigate life in the 21st century and in doing so restore mental wellbeing and joy in life and prevent youth self harm and suicide. We essentially bring hope and help to young people, their families and support frameworks.

Megan’s Space is a community-led charity working to prevent youth suicide through accessible mental health support and education. Founded following the loss, by suicide, of Megan Copeland, it addresses critical gaps in provision. In 2025/26, despite limited resources, the charity doubled its reach from 500 to 1,000 young people, reflecting both rising demand and strong community trust. Key milestones include opening The Haven, Ayrshire’s first dedicated youth crisis centre, and launching a stigma-free youth group. Together, these developments strengthen early intervention, connection, and resilience, ensuring more young people feel supported and less alone during times of acute distress.
