"We the lgbt community call for the decision to close the Space youth
group in Bournemouth to be reversed, as it will do severe damage and
remove a vital service from young and vulnerable persons who identify
themselves as either LGBT (lesbian,gay,bisexual, transgendered)
We also call
upon the PCT not to remove the service users agreement from Space Youth
Project Bournemouth forcing them to leave the Over the Rainbow Centre"

I have been reading through the comments all morning and honestly the stories people are sharing about how this place saved them are just heart breaking. It is weird knowing that a tiny office in Bournemouth holds so much weight for so many people who feel like nobody else is listening to them right now. I am working on getting a meeting set up with the folks who hold the keys but so far the phone just keeps on ringing without an answer.

My brother goes here and he finally feels like he fits in somewhere. Shutting it down is just cruel.
This place helped me so much when I was struggling. Dont take this away from the kids who really need it.
Unbelievable that they want to close this. It is the only safe place for a lot of these teens.
KEEP SPACE OPEN!! Stop cutting funding for groups that actually help people.
Bournemouth needs to do better. So many youth services are getting cut lately and it is just sad.

Bad decision. You have no idea how much this group does for the community.
