The community drop-in centre was established in the heart of the Silverstream Estate, Ballysillan, in 1993, in response to the needs of the area. The aims of the centre remain the same today as they did when established:
- To build meaningful and long term relationships with young people
- To support young people in fulfilling their potential through participation in programmes which meet their social, spiritual, educational, physical and emotional needs within a safe environment
- To promote opportunities for reconciliation to take place, enabling healing in the lives of individuals and communities
As a result our contact with people in the local area now finds itself in the shape of the following programme areas:
