L’Arche Belfast Christmas Fair 2024 at Newtownbreda Presbyterian Church.

L’Arche Belfast is a registered charity dedicated to fostering community, integration, and inclusivity for adults with learning disabilities, we are excited to announce the expansion of our services.

We currently offer Supported Living for 14 residents and Day Opportunities for 100 participants weekly. Our exciting new initiative is a groundbreaking Short Breaks Service, providing much-needed respite for families by offering 1,820 short breaks per year. In May 2024 we were delighted to welcome the Health Minister to L’Arche and he welcomed the expansion of this much needed short breaks service for our local community.

To make this vision a reality, we have launched our Short Breaks Service Fundraising campaign to raise over £200,000.

We invite you to learn more about the campaign through our attached slideshow and appreciate any support you can give by sharing through all your channels, details of our fundraising campaign to support adults with learning disabilities and their families.

With your support, we can secure a house in the Castlereagh hills, creating a safe and nurturing environment for our Short Breaks Service.

The warm hub was a huge success this winter, participants learned new skills, built new friendships all thanks to the funders Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council.

Join us for a fun night at our next Table Quiz on 11th April 2024

Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council and Island Arts funded the Project which launched on 23rd February 2024.
