About MACS Supporting Children & Young People

We are Northern Ireland’s only youth-specific homelessness charity. Our vision is to end youth homelessness in Northern Ireland. MACS exists to support and empower children and young people to leave homelessness behind and build positive futures. We cannot do this alone. We develop innovative partnerships and constructive, cohesive relationships internally and across all sectors of society, uniting people to create better outcomes for children and young people, bring a positive impact in the community and to realise our vision. We work in the areas of highest deprivation across Greater Belfast, Lisburn, Downpatrick, Newry and the County Down area. Many of the young people we support have become stuck and are engaged in negative patterns of thinking and behaviour that prevent them from fulfilling their potential and leading the lives that they want to lead. Our main role is to help them through this period so that they can move on and achieve their goals. Our core services are Supported Housing, Floating Support, Wellbeing Support and Participation.
