The founder of a North Belfast-based mental health group has said securing the charity's first community space is a huge step forward.For a long time he had wanted to work around mental health within his own community after losing a close friend to suicide at just 14.In January 2020, Caoimhin registered a new group called Mental Health Movement , a fully youth led organisation, one of the few in Northern Ireland.
The building has been undergoing a restoration process to create a shared community facility in the heart of North Belfast. However, Quintin and the team believed the facility should be able to return to its original state as a “palace of learning". "We can also expand our services and notably we hope to offer a CV and interview prep service and more peer mentoring as well as our referral service. We’re a wee charity and we don't have the same resources as larger charities but our projects are funded for the next 12 months."
"We also funded the breakfast club with £100 and came first in the Tesco community fund in North Belfast with the funds going towards our new support group starting in February."
