Aspire NI

Aspire NI Aspire exists to work with children in Northern Ireland in poverty to help close the educational attainment gap that exists between rich and poor.

The Company is established to help close the educational attainment gap by partnering with schools and relevant agencies to:

1.Provide relationships that enable young people to recognise their skills and full potential.
2.Provide facilitators to encourage young people in education and help them to take ownership of their own education.
3.Help those from lower income families by providing free tu

ition services
4.Help young people to learn outside of the classroom by providing fun-based educational activities outside of school hours.
5.Give young people the opportunity to explore faith.

The issues facing young people in Northern Ireland are deep and long-term.

There is no overnight fix.

After 10 years of working alongside young people in Northern Ireland, we know one thing for certain: given the right support, they will achieve.

Equipped with the right resources, nurtured and pointed in the right direction young people exceed every expectation.

Right now, there are schools on our waiting list. We have the programme. We just need the people and resources to reach them.

Could you help us get there? Start a monthly gift at aspireni.org

Aspire Academy brings young people from different schools and backgrounds together to learn new skills, build friendships and grow in confidence.

Every Academy is completely free of charge. Made possible by grants, monthly donors and corporate partners who believe every young person deserves that opportunity.

It takes a whole community to make it happen. Thank you for being part of ours.

"Parents should just work harder."

It's a phrase that ignores the reality facing thousands of families in Northern Ireland.

Lower incomes, limited savings and complex barriers mean poverty here runs deep and children pay the price.

We believe no child's future should be determined by their background.

We recently mentioned that Selah Coffee in Lurgan had hosted a fundraiser in support of our work and the totals are in!

An incredible £1,540 raised for our work in schools. 🎉

A huge thank you to the whole team at Selah and to the wonderful community they've built around them. Every coffee bought and every donation made means more support for young people who need it most.

We are verry grateful. 🙏
