Buddy Up is a charity designed to offer mentoring to young people identified by schools that would benefit from some one to one support from an experienced youth worker and mentor. It was set up in August 2020 after a need was identified amongst the young people in the community. With young people returning to schools after an unprecedented pandemic, many schools were reporting an increase in anxiety amongst their young people, a reduction in confidence and some struggling with attendance. Whilst schools are recognising there is a need, they don’t have the time or finances to meet this.
We carry out sustainable development work to provide water, food, shelter, healthcare, education in the long-term. We work to support orphans and children, help people into employment and build livelihoods to support their families, and provide essential life skills to the most disadvantaged.
Our aim at GPA is to allow businesses and individuals to donate waste items and materials that can then be sold to members for a minimal cost and used in arts and crafts projects. Without our scrapstore, most of these materials would be sent to landfill, increasing pollution and waste.
We provide a variety of educational health promotion and leisure programmes and activities available morning, afternoon and evening. Activities include: personal development, confidence building, mental health awareness and promotion, life skills, computer skills, arts, crafts, history, culture, exercise, dance, walking. Activities and programmes can be accredited and non-accredited. Activities and programmes are tailored to meet the needs of adults, children and young people. Childcare is provided to remove the barrier of participation for parents and carers. Programmes and activities are offered in house and at outreach venues. We work in partnership with community, voluntary and statutory organisations to promote services within the local and wider community. Service provision is available within a neutral accessible and integrated centre situated within Lisburn city centre
