What a wonderful end to Befriending Week! 🌟

On Wednesday, we attended Volunteer Now's befriending network event at Belfast City Hall, celebrating the inspiring befriending work of organisations and volunteers across Northern Ireland.

Janet Simm, founder of our Befriending Service for Young People, introduced a touching video about our volunteer Avril and her 11-year friendship with Bianca. Avril then shared her journey, describing how deeply rewarding it is when a young person feels happy, comfortable, and safe in her company.

We also heard stories from several organisations, who, like us, are dedicated to supporting people from diverse backgrounds.

We’re excited to see the impact you all continue to make in 2024 and beyond. Thank you to all those making a difference in their community! πŸ’–

This Befriending Week, we’re excited to highlight some incredible individuals who have been part of the befriending service at Praxis Care! 🌟

Hear from Marian, who reflects on her friendship with Anne. They’ve been friends for 8 years now and despite their differing personalities, their bond has grown stronger, and they now find comfort in each other's company.

Happy Befriending Week! πŸŽ‰

To kick things off, we’re excited to share a glimpse into the history of befriending at Praxis Care. From our humble beginnings in 1981, providing a vital befriending service to those with mental ill health experiencing isolation, to establishing a network that has connected over 160 friendships, we’re proud of the connections we've fostered along the way.

Join us in celebrating 40 years of making a difference, as we honour the impact of our volunteers, and stay tuned for more throughout the week! πŸ’–

πŸ‘» Halloween Highlights πŸ‘»

This Halloween, our services pulled out all the spooky stops!

πŸ§›β€β™‚οΈ Swan House & Meenalig threw a fantastic costume party, with everyone dressed to impress in frightening attire.

πŸŽƒ Lurgan DISH got into the Halloween spirit by carving pumpkins and showing off their creative skills.

🌽 Navan Day Service enjoyed a festive day trip to Alright Pumpkin, where they explored a corn maze, took a tractor and trailer ride, and picked pumpkins of their very ownβ€”big thanks to the staff for making it such a memorable day!

πŸ‘» Kimberley House embraced fright night and went on adventure around the neighbourhood to spot the best decorations.

πŸ•ΈοΈ The Hub Drogheda crew transformed the service with spooky skeletons, ghouls, and plenty of spiders for a haunted-house look.

πŸŽ‰ Dunboyne hosted its very own Halloween party, bringing everyone together for festive fun.

πŸ¦‡ Kesh Supported Living wrapped up the celebrations with a ghostly disco.

We hope your Halloween was just as exciting! 😊
