The Neuk

We are here to offer support and solutions to people reaching out for help. This is can be in any situation that leaves them feeling unable to cope. When someone reaches a point of crisis, this state of mind is normally only maintained for anything between 20 to 60 minutes. The adrenaline produced in this state thankfully cannot be maintained long-term so if we can be available at this point then we can make a difference. When in crisis you can’t wait for an appointment or a referral to a specialist, you need help there and then and our aim is to provide this at The Neuk.

Our crisis centre will provide a safe haven for these people and a support service to ensure we can meet all their needs, no matter how complex. The key to our services will be a connected approach with a number of agencies working together towards the same outcome. So many agencies work independently which restricts outcomes, and we aim to address this by making the Neuk a multi-agency network led by local organisations and volunteers from within the community we aim to serve.
