Activities at Flourish

We run a beginners sewing class where clients can learn new skills and understand all the basics about sewing before progressing to designing and making a product each week from beginning to end. There are different levels of sewing class available depending on ability. Have a look at the beautiful kxf bag that has been made by individuals who wanted to take the sewing to the next level. Sewing has created a real community in its own right with everyone sharing lunch together and working as a team to help one another.

These run periodically in blocks with a focus on healthy cooking on a budget. These classes provide an opportunity to share recipes which celebrate different cultures, to learn new skills, to meet new friends and to build confidence.

These classes are aimed at looking at managing your money, preparing budgets, tips to help money go further, saving and debt. We also look at scams and things to avoid. This course is designed specifically for survivors and trauma informed to empower clients to manage their money effectively.

We host a summer and Christmas event where we can all come together for fun, craft and food. These events are some of the highlights of the Flourish calendar and a very special time for both volunteers and clients.

Our office space provides a safe place where at specific time clients are welcome to drop in and chill out and have a coffee, participate in craft activities or use our computer space to search the internet and use our printing and scanning facilities.

At Flourish, we are committed to helping individuals who have been affected by human trafficking. Starting April 3rd, we are partnering with Street Soccer NI to offer a unique opportunity for those in need of physical activity and a sense of community. We will be hosting 7v7 pitches every Wednesday at the Avoniel Leisure Centre from 2-3pm. Prior to the game, we will meet at our offices at 1:30pm.
