Breathing Space and the National Programme

Although Breathing Space was originally set up to help meet the key aim of preventing suicide it also supports the work that is in place for all of our key aims. The National Programme has allocated funding to ensure that the work of Breathing Space can continue at least until 2008.

Breathing Space Evaluation

Breathing Space is being independently evaluated to find out whether it is meeting its key aims and targets. For more information, visit our Breathing Space Evaluation page.
