At Hope Harbour Belfast, we are a 100% volunteer-led grassroots organisation that has spent nearly 14 years providing a vital frontline lifeline across the city. Our long history of service has allowed us to build deep trust on the streets, transforming our grassroots movement into an established pillar of crisis support in the community. Operating out of our main hub at the Love2Serve kitchen within the Newtownabbey Methodist Mission, our core mobile and static street outreach runs 3 nights a week (Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday). However, our dedication goes far beyond a schedule; our team remains on call 7 days a week to rapidly respond to emergency calls and ensure no hungry person is left without a meal. We support rough sleepers, families in temporary accommodation, and individuals facing severe poverty, reaching over 250 people each week—95% from Belfast, alongside crisis users travelling from across Northern Ireland, Ireland, and the UK. Our extensive history and trusted community footprint have been widely recognised in the local press, including features on Belfast Live and a BBC News report on local hostels. Because we receive no government funding and pay zero wages, our survival relies entirely on community generosity. We are seeking surplus food, volunteer support, and financial grants from Neighbourly to keep our kitchen fueled and our mobile units running. We operate a strict zero-waste policy; any surplus items we cannot immediately use for direct street outreach are actively redistributed to other critical programs right inside the Methodist Mission network, including Hope's Shop, the local Food Bank, and the Tiny Tots program, maximizing the impact of every single donation we receive. Newtownabbey Methodist Mission is a registered Charity and we work alongside them very much in all aspects of our work. We class this as our base although we travel around Belfast City Cetntre serving free food toiletries and clothing to people in need.

Coalisland & District Community Food Bank was established to ‘address and help alleviate Food Poverty’ in the area. ‘A person is considered to be in Food Poverty if they have no food and no money with which to buy food after meeting their financial obligations’ (Rent, Electricity, Heating, Rates). The food bank is committed to providing short term relief for residents of Coalisland and district. Foodbank Volunteers take the time to listen and offer support where possible. They are specially trained to know about local services and offer practical guidance so that people have access to the right support, helping them to break out of crisis. We also help to support people in any other ways that we can and our aim is to provide non-judgemental support at the point of crisis. We know that anyone can find themselves at crisis point for a number of different reasons. Our Volunteers will offer advice and contact details for external groups in our area which may benefit and assist people.
