The Cithrah Foundation

The Cithrah Foundation is a non-profit organisation focused on providing support to victims of Domestic Abuse and their families in the Mid-East Antrim area through a range of services.
 

We operate a Carrickfergus-based drop-in center that offers assistance, counseling, information and training for both volunteers and those navigating abusive relationships. Additionally, we operate a women’s refuge, providing a safe shelter for women and their families who have become homeless due to abusive situations.

Our Focus

Our primary focus is on promoting a positive outlook to inspire hope and empowerment, affirming that there is always a pathway to recovery and a fulfilling life beyond the impact of abuse.

We aim to spotlight the inherent strengths and capabilities within individuals and families, empowering them to pursue a life aligned with their aspirations rather than by their perpetrator. Our goal is to provide support and care, reinforcing the idea that a promising future is within reach for all those we assist.

We were delighted and honored to be awarded the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service in May 2022.
