Building friendships and combatting isolation in the classroom
This project would be directed at supporting disabled children and young people. Circles Network has many years experience of combatting the severe isolation and loneliness that disabled children and young people face every day of their lives. Through creating circles of friends, this isolation can be diminished, children's self esteem and feelings of self worth increases and they are encouraged and supported to become active members of their community rather than being hidden and oppressed.

Positive Parenting
The project will support parents from across Northern Ireland who have physical and or sensory impairments, learning difficulties or enduring mental health differences. Recent research carried out by the Norah Fry research centre has shown that approximately 50% of parents who have learning difficulties have their children removed and that this is largely due to the lack of appropriate support.
Our aim is for families to stay together, provided this can be achieved without putting children at risk. Protecting the child – from physical or emotional harm and from developmental disadvantage – is always paramount.
