We are currently seeking programming space in downtown Ottawa that can provide on-the-ground support for frontline workers (e.g., a drop-in centre, place to gather, connect, celebrate and to grieve), as well as sites closer to nature (30-50 minutes outside of Ottawa) for our retreats. If you have space that you are willing to share or lease, please get in touch!
Soul Space offerings would not be possible without the generosity of many organizations and individuals to support the development of Soul Space and to provide offerings and retreats to frontline street health and harm reduction workers at little to no cost.
Soul Space is overseen by a Steering Committee appointed by the Church Council of First United, a committee that provides program oversight as well as duty of care and financial accountability.
100% of all donations directed to Soul Space are used for the programming of Soul Space.
Special thanks from the following organizations that helped with either in-kind or financial support:
