CAN is a bold and creative organisation supporting children, young people and adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health issues on the North Coast of Northern Ireland. We’ve been around for over 25 years, so we like to think we are still young and agile but with a proven track record.

The purpose of the Confederation of Community Groups is to support and encourage the development of voluntary action by communities and individuals and in so doing contribute to the creation of a powerful and inclusive community that will influence positive change. The Confederation of Community Groups is an umbrella organisation for voluntary and community groups in Northern Ireland in the Newry and Mourne area. It offers advice, practical support, services and training through a number of projects and services.

Hope 4 Life NI believes that everyone has a basic right to good mental health; our emphasis as an organisation is on prevention and early intervention programmes and services across Northern Ireland; our drive, passion and commitment has been shown with over 50,000 children and young people supported by our highly creative and innovative Uberheroes Comic Workshops.

VOYPIC was created up in 1993 by a group of young people in care and professionals. Our job is to promote the rights and voice of children in care and care leavers. We want every child in care to feel safe, valued and loved. We want every young person leaving care to do so with dignity and respect, and thrive into adulthood.
