Company Information
Bolster Community is a not for profit organisation with offices in Newry and Kilkeel. They are a practical, hands-on charity that works alongside individuals, families and communities to help them get through and get ahead.
Since 2004, they’ve had the privilege of helping countless individuals reach their full potential. From early years right through to later years, they support and strengthen people facing life’s tough challenges.
Bolster Community (previously known as SPACE NI) has grown from a small campaigning organisation in Warrenpoint, to a key third sector agency providing services, support, training and leadership on community development, resilience and wellbeing.
Their services are centered around supporting three categories – Family, Ability & Seniors.
Family Support Service provides practical and therapeutic support and a range of training programmes for parents and children. As coordinator of the Newry and Mourne Family Support Hub, they help find solutions for families facing physical and mental health problems, family breakdown, parenting difficulties, financial problems and social and rural isolation.
Ability Services are dedicated to connecting children and young adults of mixed ability to reach for the stars. They are especially proud of their social enterprise and online gift shop, a safe place for their volunteers to feel connected, valued and purposeful. Their social enterprise products are lovingly handcrafted and all profits go back into supporting our vital work.
Signposting and practical support to older members of the community are delivered through their Seniors Services. Comfort Zone is a social group bringing seniors together to make new friends and enjoy some company. Home2Hospital, a driver service for those over 60 that live in rural Mournes and Slieve Gullion, is a lifeline to many.
