Hourglass (Safer Ageing), is Northern Irelands only charity dedicated to calling time on the harm, abuse & exploitation of older people. We deal with the very worst elements of physical, sexual, financial/economic, psychological, domestic abuse and neglect and we stand alone in this field, offering life-changing support to victims, their families and wider communities.

In partnership with Community Advice Lisburn & Castlereagh (CALC) and funded by Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council Advice NI and CALC will be hosting a number of information sessions aimed at Asylum seekers, Refugees, and Migrants living in Northern Ireland and those who work with them.

Advice NI would like to welcome ME Support NI to the advice network. M.E Support NI is run by Volunteers with direct experience of how M.E affects people’s lives. They provide information, support and practical advice for people (including children), families and carers affected by M.E (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) and advocates on their behalf.

As you may know the Department for Communities (DfC) is rolling out measures to ensure the advice sector is prepared to assist the general public through the implementation of the ongoing changes to the welfare system.
