About Belfast and Lisburn Community Project

---

Belfast And Lisburn Community Project is a nonpartisan organisation committed to preventing and ending homelessness in our community.

Our approach is tailored to the people and our community. Wherever we work, we do so with common values and the same respect for each person we meet.

Our work ranges from providing safe shelter, accommodation, food and health services to helping people affected by homelessness receive the education, employment and social services they need.

Our goal is to empower people who face homelessness, improving their quality of life and helping them stay off the streets for good.

Nobody truly starts out homeless. However, during one’s lifetime, various circumstances turn necessities we all take for granted, like food and shelter, into scarce resources. Whether it be mental health issues, addiction or family circumstance, some people lose their way. Most of us are too busy to see the problem.

One stereotype is that homeless people are scary, dirty, and worthless or should just get a job. We see human beings.

When you give through Belfast And Lisburn Community Project, your donation goes directly to the cause. Know your impact and get total transparency through our partner nonprofits who serve those experiencing poverty.

Every donation, small or large, can have a huge impact on a person’s life.

Anyone can become homeless, it damages individuals, affects families and communities, we believe in most cases homelessness can be prevented.

We believe that with the right approach, funding, government support and community education that homelessness can end.

We believe that prevention is the answer, sustainable housing stock, social property investment and a housing first approach will break homelessness.

Homelessness is a diverse social issue, with multiple factors contributing to who may be at risk and indeed the support available to them. As our world changes around us we must be equipped to face the challenges to our communities and ensure we are best prepared to offer the most appropriate support. We believe we can do this.
