On Monday at 5pm, The Future Fund comes to an end.

Over the past few weeks, I've shared our hopes for the future of Space to Breathe, and I wanted to write one final time to simply say thank you.

Thank you to everyone who has donated.

Thank you to those who have shared the campaign, encouraged others and sent messages of support.

Every act of kindness has reminded me what an incredible community surrounds Space to Breathe.

When we launched The Future Fund, it wasn't simply about raising money.

It was about asking a question.

What could Space to Breathe become over the next ten years?

Could we create a permanent home for wellbeing?
Could we reach people who currently struggle to access support because of language, geography or circumstance?
Could we develop new ways of supporting young people as they navigate an increasingly challenging world?
Could we continue building a place where people know they are welcome, valued and never have to face life's challenges alone?

Over the last few weeks, we've shared photographs of the wellbeing space we hope to create. At the moment, it's an empty room.

But when I walk into that room, I don't see an empty space.

I see counselling sessions that change lives.

I see yoga mats laid out for a wellbeing class.

I hear conversations over coffee that remind people they're not alone.

I see a place where people can simply breathe.

That future is now closer because of the generosity of so many people.

If you've already supported the campaign, please accept my heartfelt thanks.

If you've been meaning to donate but haven't quite got round to it, there's still time.

Whether your gift is £20, £50 or whatever feels right, every donation will help us take another step towards creating a permanent home for wellbeing and expanding the support we can offer in the years ahead.

Whatever happens on Monday afternoon, I'm incredibly grateful for the encouragement and belief that so many people have shown in Space to Breathe.

Thank you for being part of our story over the last ten years.

I hope you'll continue to be part of the next chapter too.

With gratitude,

Andy Freeman
