NORTH BELFAST ALTERNATIVES LIMITED

North Belfast Alternatives is a local community safety and restorative that aims to promote and develop non-violent community responses to issues of low-level crime and anti-social behaviour and community conflict. It will achieve this by addressing four inter-related problems: the failure of the formal justice system, the breakdown of relationships between the community and the statutory sector, anti-social behaviour in local communities and punishment beatings and attacks. In practice this means that the agency delivers a wide range of interventions that include intensive youth support, victim support, family support, restorative conferencing, mediation services, detached street work, preventative group work, anti-hate crime initiatives, personal development programmes and other community safety programmes.
