SAVER NAVER

My Organisation

S.A.V.E.R./N.A.V.E.R, South/North Armagh Victims Encouraging Recognition, was established in 2000 to bring relief to victims of the Troubles who are suffering from hardship or distress. We offer a wide range of activities to help people recover and move on from the hardship caused to so many families during the years of the Troubles. Based at Bingham House in Markethill, SAVER/NAVER have an open-door policy and welcome visitors to our premises at any time. Here we have free on-site Counselling, an alternative therapist who offers a wide range of services and a comprehensive range of training courses which could include anything from ICT classes to jewellery making, researching your family tree to Yoga to driving lessons!
We have recently finished a sustainability project which has opened up much needed space for the people of Markethill and South Armagh. This new space comprises office space, a beauty salon, computer suite, a state of the art counselling suite, a youth room, a memorial room containing all types of artefacts from the NI Troubles, and a large function room which will soon have a large modern Kitchen, both of which will be able to cater for any type of party or event. On top of this we have been working hard to complete a Memorial Wall and Peace Garden. This is a truely inspiring site which has brought awe to many visitors. The names of 1,317 murdered friends, family members, colleagues and security forces have been inscribed upon the marble wall, and we hope that many people will come to view the wall and garden, to remember, and pay tribute to those that we lost.
The group is managed by a committee who meet on a regular basis to offer help and support to each other, to remove fear and restore confidence in members. If you are interested in finding out more please do not hesitate to contact us.
