Ballysillan Youth For Christ

Ballysillan Youth for Christ, known locally as the “BlueHouses” is the leading provider of informal youth work provision in Ballysillan, an area characterised by disadvantage, poverty and deprivation.  Since 1993 the BlueHouses has been dedicated to meeting the practical, emotional and spiritual needs of children and young people from all backgrounds and abilities.  A dynamic team of 4 full-time staff and 25 volunteers aim to “walk alongside” children, young people and young adults to help them achieve their potential by providing advice, love and support.  The charity helps young people to overcome a legacy of violence, paramilitary feuds (cultural/political gang warfare) and the frustrations and limitations of living in an area of social deprivation by providing a comprehensive programme of recreational, educational, cross-community and citizenship initiatives which are geared towards effecting positive change in the lives of young people.  In the same way that the “BlueHouses” are centred at the heart of Ballysillan, young people are at the heart of Ballysillan Youth for Christ and have an integral role to play in the design and implementation of the charity’s programmes.
