Quaker Service is a Quaker charity which provides support for people in Northern Ireland going through difficult times. By delivering practical, social and emotional support services that value and empower people just where they are, 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 "undeserved". Simply put, our core purpose is to make love visible
Quaker Service currently delivers 2 main services:
Quaker Cottage, a cross-community family day care centre in west Belfast – delivering daily therapy for mums with childcare and projects for young people up to 18 years
Quaker Connections, a volunteer programme based at Maghaberry Prison, where families visiting prison and people in prison are supported through befriending and practical support services. Services are currently available at all the prison establishments in Northern Ireland
