Aims and Objectives: To tackle specific problems encountered by adolescents living in Lower North Belfast, in particular those involved in, or at risk from, alcohol and drug abuse and the asssociated anti -social behaviour by providing a safe environment and youth friendly facilities. We do this by prevention and intervention and by programmes tailored to meet the relevant needs. Although based on Christian principles, we have recognised the necessity to meet the needs of young people on their terms and without criticism. We work to create opportunities which will enable these young people to gain the knowledge, skills and the positive mindset they require to fulfill their full potential and to assist them while they manage the transition to adulthood.
