Are you interested in helping others and becoming involved in community activity, our support team may be able to help direct you to volunteering opportunities within the Armagh Banbridge Craigavon Borough.

We are working alongside our partner agencies to provide programmes and training which will assist you to learn new skills, prepare a cv, gain  support with job applications and better prepare for job interviews.

Given the increased importance of taking care of our mental and physical health we aim to provide a range of information on programmes and opportunities which will support your physical and mental resilience.

Through our partner agency we will offer advice information, advocacy and representation on areas such as debt, housing, benefits and welfare changes.

In collaboration with our partners we will be able to provide information on food support to individuals and families who are in need.

Christmas can be a very difficult time of year for many people and families due to added financial pressures.  The expense of gifts and food, the pressure of shopping and the expectations of the season can make this an extremely stressful time.

Support is available for anyone experiencing crisis.  Don’t suffer in silence.  Please ask for help if you or your family are struggling.  Contact details are available here:
