Located at 100 Great Patrick Street, in Belfast’s iconic Cathedral Quarter, this remodelled warehouse will be home to leading children’s charities Include Youth and VOYPIC- Voice of Young People in Care.
Together, the charities have over 70 years experience supporting vulnerable and marginalised children and young people across Northern Ireland.
VOYPIC is the charity for children and young people with experience of living in care in Northern Ireland.
Include Youth is a rights-based charity working with children and young people in or leaving care and those from disadvantaged communities or those whose rights are not being met, to improve employability, personal and social development
The building will also be home to VIable, VOYPIC and Include Youth’s professional back office social enterprise.
The charities are delighted to be part of the regeneration of this area of Belfast city, and ensuring children and young people are at the heart of that regeneration. The area around the building is steeped in history, but we believe its best days are ahead of it!
The building is set to open this autumn, following a £2million redevelopment, with funding from three government departments- Communities, Health and Economy- with additional financial support from Atlantic Philanthropies, The Tudor Trust, Garfield Weston Foundation, Ulster Garden Villages, White Mountain Programme, The Clothworkers’ Foundation, and Community Finance Ireland.
A number of spaces will be available for hire, including meeting rooms, multimedia and IT suites, classrooms and exhibition spaces.
