wELCOME ORGANISATION

The Welcome Organisation supports over 1,500 homeless people every year across our range of services: a Drop-in Centre, a Street Outreach service, Crisis Accommodation for Women, Catherine House (supported accommodation for women), Floating Support and our Mobile Health Unit.

Our Street Outreach team are on the streets of Belfast 20 hours a day providing on the ground support for the most vulnerable homeless people in the city – in particular people who are sleeping rough.

Our Drop-in Centre is open from 8am-6pm every day of the year and is for people who are homeless to have free access to showers, toilets, laundry facilities, internet and advice and support on housing, addictions, mental health and more.

Our Crisis Accommodation for Women provides ten beds for homeless women who would otherwise potentially spend the night sleeping on the streets, while Catherine House is a ten-bedroom facility for women who are ready to take the next steps out of homelessness.

Our Floating Support service provides support for people who have been homelessness but are now accommodated, with the aim of ensuring that once somebody gets a place to live they can retain that tenancy.

Our Mobile Health Unit, the only one of it’s kind in Northern Ireland, brings homeless health care directly to people on the streets. We work with the homeless nursing teams in the Belfast Trust and Western Trust to ensure that even the hardest to reach homeless people have access to healthcare.
