Our Work
Working Together for Stronger Communities
Impact Network NI is a dynamic community development network supporting and working in partnership with a wide range of member organisations across Northern Ireland. Together, we strengthen the capacity of local communities by promoting inclusion, building good relations, and addressing the issues that matter most to people’s lives.
We are committed to working with marginalised groups and individuals who feel isolated or excluded, ensuring their voices are heard and their needs recognised. Through collaborative approaches, we help create inclusive, connected communities where diversity is respected and everyone has the opportunity to participate and thrive
A key focus of our work is on improving health and wellbeing, tackling health inequalities, and addressing the wider social determinants that impact both physical and mental health. We are especially dedicated to suicide prevention, adopting a compassionate, proactive approach that responds to the root causes of mental distress, such as poverty, trauma, and social isolation.
