Everyone needs their own space and this issue of design news features a number of projects that honour space in different ways. There are studio spaces on offer courtesy of a new award from Cockpit Arts and New Craftsmen gallery – two mainstays of the London craft community – for makers from underrepresented ethnic groups. The importance of a creative space is also recognised by charity Men’s Sheds Association, which creates community spaces where local people can gather and share skills. Finally, two museums show how commemorative space is important. London’s Museum of Home celebrates what makes us feel like we belong, Ukraine’s Babyn Yar Memorial Complex will become one of the world’s largest holocaust centres. Used in the right way, space can help us create, to celebrate and also to make sure we never forget.

Money raised by the wife of an Ipswich-born writer, who took his own life, will go towards training barbers in how to spot signs of someone suffering with their mental health.
Darron Love was born and raised in Ipswich, before moving to Wokingham in Berkshire with his wife and two children in 2011, and penned two Annie s Grannies children s books.
The 48-year-old struggled with depression all his adult life and after receiving news that a complicated injury would leave him incapacitated for months or a year, he died by suicide on December 13, 2019.
LONELINESS has been an unprecedented issue over the last 12 months as we have battled the coronavirus and been forced to isolate from friends and family. And, for many this winter, it will be even lonelier with men, in particular, struggling with their mental health. Suicide among males is the leading cause of death according to the Office for National Statistics. Jack (not his real name) was plunged into so much despair after losing his beloved wife that he contemplated suicide. “My wife died more than ten years ago from Multiple Sclerosis and I went to a very dark place. My physical health suffered- I have diabetes anyway and the neglect resulted in me having to have a number of operations. I also suffered a second stroke- the first of which happened in 2000.
