Action Ability Belfast

Action Ability Belfast AAB promotes the social inclusion of people with a disability into their communities

At Action Ability Belfast "Our aim is to promote the inclusion of people with disabilities into the community and to support the development of their natural abilities." We are a pan disability support charity that seeks to promote the inclusion of people with disabilities into the community through a community development and needs lead approach. Since 1998, Action Ability Belfast has been to the forefront in developing high quality responsive services to meet the needs of local people with disabilities and their families. The project has been actively campaigning for the inclusion of people with disabilities and ensuring that they receive the support they need within ordinary structures of education, health, employment, and social services. Over the past number of years our services have grown from strength to strength, and we continually strive in excellence to ensure that the services we provide are of the highest quality, responsive and represent the best interests of people with disabilities. Through socially inclusive needs-led community-based programmes, we empower and support local people with disabilities through offering an extensive range of services, on a one to one or group basis, such as:
• Advocacy Service
• Befriending service
• Carers Information and Support
• Floating Support
• Social Support Projects
• Summer Activity Programme
• Volunteering and Peer Volunteering Opportunities

ADVOCACY ANNOUNCEMENT 📢

Did you know YOU can advocate on behalf of yourself and others with a disability.

The 3 C’s of advocacy: Collaborate, Connect, Communicate

Collaborate: you can do this by joining organisations or advocacy groups focused on adult services and disability rights.

Connect: you can do this by building relationships with legislators, agency leaders, and service providers. Focus on finding solutions rather than just pointing out problems.

Communicate: you can do this by tailoring your message to the audience—whether it’s a government agency, service provider, or community leader find a platform to speak and be heard on what changes are needed.

You are a key part of the system—whether as a caregiver, family member, or person with a disability receiving services. You have a voice that matters and can help shape better policies and programs for adults who rely on these services.

If you think you can make a difference get in touch with our Advocacy team. FInd out how you can become a part of bigger conversations shaping the city of Belfast for everyone 💜

🎄 Here at Action Ability, we understand that Christmas Day isn’t always a joyous time for everyone.

If you feel you need support on this day, or if you require immediate help in an emergency please read the following information.

Here are some useful numbers that may offer the support you need:

Regional Emergency Social Work Service is: 0800197995

Emergency Services: 999

PSNI Non-Emergency: 101

Out of hours GP: 02890654018

Samaritans Helpline: 0300 094 5717

Lifeline: 0808 808 8000 (Deaf or hard of hearing users can call lifeline on 18001 0808 8000)

🚨 Important Safety Information – Silent Solution

If you ever need emergency help but cannot speak, you can still get assistance:

👉 Dial 999
👉 When the operator answers, press 55

This lets the police know you need help without having to talk.

This is called the Silent Solution.

Our Advocacy Team is here to support people in accessing the information and services they need — especially when safety and communication can be challenging.

Please share this. It could help someone stay safe this Christmas. ❤️♿️
