BCPP Project Examples

Paying it forward

Centred Soul Health & Wellbeing is based in Newry and supports families in the local community who have been affected by Perinatal Mental Health & Birth Trauma. The organisation offers support services such as counselling and complementary therapy as well as parent and child classes.

Breaking down barriers

Triangle Housing Association provides housing to people including those with learning disabilities who are supported to live independently. This BCPP project engaged with a group of adults with a learning disability in order to build relationships and promote independence in understanding and managing healthcare.

A new lease of life...

The Toome area has a high level of unemployment resulting in health-related inequalities where many men suffer from stress, anxiety, loneliness and a lack of basic skills. Toome Men’s Shed is a safe place for men who share the same problems to come together for support and friendship and also offers woodworking furniture repair within the community.

Improving lives and connections

Men’s Shed Fermanagh is open to men aged 50+ with local members enjoying a range of activities including joinery, gardening, basket weaving and keep fit. Focusing on learning new skills, making new friends and having a bit of craic, the shed is the place to be if you live in the Devenish, Erne and Irvinestown area.
