Quaker Service Northern Ireland

We are a social welfare charity providing support for people in Northern Ireland going through difficult times for some 50 years. We aim to deliver practical, social and emotional support services that value and empower people just where they are, and by so doing, we play our part in reducing violence, suffering and disadvantage. Our work is often with those in our society who are the most forgotten, unpopular or sometimes viewed as "undeserving". Simply put, we make love visible. Our vision is for a society where all people are valued and fulfil their potential, regardless of their circumstances or choices in life. Whilst our work is entirely secular, our charity ethos is guided by founding Quaker beliefs and values; we recognise and embrace the equal worth, unique nature and potential for greatness in every individual, regardless of life choices or circumstances. Our core delivery includes a dedicated family crisis centre 'Quaker Cottage'; a befriending and support programme for isolated and at-risk individuals within the NI prison system; a dedicated youth programme for at-risk teenagers as well as a newly developed societal change initiative. In support of the above services, we operate a social enterprise retail unit providing a source of unrestricted income, as well as offering a stepping stone to employment for those leaving prison or on community orders.
