How can I support? 

There are lots of ways.

• Donate directly -We were all bizz when Emer got in touch last year to ask for the Another World Belfast bank details. She set up a standing order for £25 per month and we’ve done a little dance of gratitude every time we see it arrive. She recently increased it to £40, when we messaged to thank her as soon as we spotted it and she said “You guys are doing a great job 👏and times are getting tougher, I'm really happy to help. It's lovely to support something local, with no religious motive, just love and you guys have it all 🌈❤Plus you make great vids 😄💃🤸”

  Her donation pays for both our mobiles to stay connected. This also currently runs our laptop signal in the office until we get WiFi installed. Thanks so much Emer 🙌

• Fundraise for us! We need help to provide the services and goods to those in need. We have bills, bills, bills

• Donate clothing, toiletries and underwear items for the The Love Pack collection. Even better if you could start a collection yourself at your office, staff room, school or club

• Volunteer! Come and help us make up orders of toiletries, steam or iron clothing and see how else you can use your skills to help.

• Shop to support us, Remember our merch and products are perfect for gifting. Next time you’re invited for dinner, why not bring a scrub or candle for the host? Birthday coming up? Gift and give back, or better still, treat yourself and support what we do at the same time.. 

Do you need volunteers? 

Yes absolutely! Complete the form on our volunteer page to ad yourself to our list.

Are you a social enterprise or a charity?

We are both! Having operated as a CIC since 2019 SHOW SOME LOVE LTD is now registered as a charity NIC109723. This brings additional regulatory framework but we welcome the transparency and accountability this brings. 

What is a CIC?

A CIC is a special type of limited company which exists on a ‘Not-for-Profit basis to benefit the community rather than private shareholders.

We are registered at Companies House, and are regulated and monitored to ensure the purpose for which we were set up, to benefit our community, is adhered to. This also locks any assets and limits what can be earned by the directors. 

What do you earn?

After 4 years working on a volunteer basis. As of 31st Jan 2022 we started to pay ourselves £300 per month. As of July 2022 we increased that to £500, and slowly grew that to £1000/ month once we were in receipt of help to pay rent on our properties where we deliver support via FreeStore.

We were3 delighted to win funding for 4 salaries at the ‘real’ living wage through a competitive design competition Belfast 2024, run by Belfast city council. We also now have two full time and one part time members of staff, and we are still supported by an amazing crew of volunteers.

Why no pictures of recipients?

We get asked by media to share photos of direct recipients with a love pack. To this we say “no way.” There is a fine line between raising awareness of an issue and exploitation of those who need support. At AWB we take this responsibility seriously. We advocate for the organisations who are experts in safeguarding the wellbeing of those they support. That means we will never show photos or anything that personally identifies an individual receiving support. However we will always use our platform to make noise and share the great work being done by our partner organisations.

Are you looking for investment? 

We will never sell or hand over any control of Another World Belfast. However we will gladly accept ‘no strings attached’ relevant and appropriate funding or contribution to help us achieve our goals.
