Community support matching service for Northern Ireland
Community Calling was formed in March 2020 as a volunteer-led initiative to coordinate urgent community support across Northern Ireland in response to the pandemic. The project quickly gained traction with support reaching thousands of people in just a few months.
Right now, the team at Community Calling is working to strengthen community cohesion, building a collaborative community network (of individuals and organisations) with a shared goal – to get the right support to the right people at the right time, without duplication.
Our efforts over our first 12 months resulted in:
- 1000+ community support matches
- 1400+ offers of community support
- 7000+ estimated beneficiaries
- £100,000+ estimated value of the matches
All of the services we provide and match are FREE OF CHARGE.
⚠️ We are currently seeking to raise vital donations to address a gap in funding and to help us continue to provide our much-needed services in the community sector over the coming months.
