Belfast Live met with those with a passion for helping people achieve their full potential and the residents on how their lives have changed
Located in the heart of Belfast, with views overlooking the very best of the city, Farset International is inspiring men and women, young and old, to make life-changing decisions.
"We have 39 rooms here and are contracted through the Housing Executive and would get referrals from them," Paul said. "Farset provides accommodation and we have staff on 24 hours a day and they are equipped to cater to their needs. They all have different needs at different times. The end games for us is to get them into a property.
"Over the course of the next five years, we will really ramp up our services. We decided that we needed an outreach. Last year, in 12 months in Farset, we had six people given properties. We started this outreach 15 weeks ago, and we have had 13 people homed and another five in the pipeline too." Another issue the team has come across is to do with clothing - so they created a clothes bank. A place for the residents to come in, and take what they need."If they want 12 black bags full, they can have it. We also provide them with their food, three meals a day in Farset, and when they leave, if they still require it, they can come back here for food. Nobody will go hungry.
"My mental health has improved dramatically here. Up until I came here, I was really struggling with anxiety, and I still am, but not as much. Farset gave me the opportunity to work in the kitchen, and that put my mind at rest. It gave me something to focus on instead of sitting in my room, doing nothing and overthinking.
