Breathing Space Charitable Trust

Breathing Space is a cost-free, barrier-free creative wellbeing program where art-making becomes a pathway into connection and emotional steadiness. Our programs are culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and participant-led — creating spaces where people feel safe, respected, and able to explore identity, belonging, and personal growth.

While creativity benefits everyone — lowering stress, improving mood, and supporting emotional regulation — we focus where need is greatest. Your support directly helps us deliver programs for:

- Women navigating gender-based vulnerability

- Rainbow communities

- Ageing communities

- Youth justice

- Those experiencing family harm

- Survivors of sexual assault

- Teen and perinatal parents

Your support comes at a time when things are tight for many small charities like ours — costs are up, funding is down, yet the need in our community continues to grow. Every donation makes a difference.

Here’s what your koha can enable:

$17 - buys a 24-pack acrylic paint set

$25 - buys one ream of good quality wet-strength multi-media art paper

$85 - gifts a With Wonder art box to someone on mental health waiting lists

$100 - covers a week of transport for 30 participants to access our services

$200 - buys brand new glue guns, batteries, and docking stations

$340 - provides a 12-month subscription of With Wonder boxes for someone needing support

$800 - enables one participant to attend 3 months of our creative wellbeing program

We appreciate your generosity.
