Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our Just Giving page.
The Living Rooms project works to improve the mental health of all in our community regardless of background. Our focus is to bring individuals and groups together who would, for whatever reason, feel isolated, vulnerable, hurt, and voiceless.
We understand that better mental health helps not only the individual but the ripple effect on family and friends can be immense.
We have just completed construction of a two-storey building close to Ballymena town centre.
The Ground floor provides a safe welcoming vibrant creative space open to all in our community. At its centre there is a large homely kitchen where meals can be shared together and a sense of being welcomed and valued can be nurtured. There is also a creative arts therapy room, living room and counselling room.
The First floor has 4 self-contained apartments for young adults leaving the care system as it has been identified there is a current shortage of suitable safe accommodation.
There is no other similar homely welcoming community building in Ballymena and the groups we work with desperately need a space like this.
Please help us to help others who would benefit from this project.
In gratitude and Christian Love.
