The Building Futures programme promotes the use of non-traditional skills, trades and training with women from across the Ardoyne and Ballysillan areas. As well as this there are elements of personal development, capacity building and the exploration of shared identities, histories and experiences.
“I was proud to learn how women in both sides of the communities came together to support one another.”

I have met women from Ardoyne through this group. I don’t really know anyone from there and you know what, it has been lovely getting to know them. We all have the same struggles in life and to be honest, the group has been really good for me to meet other people and have that bit of relief from home."
