Are you a community group, school, statutory agency, organisation, or local initiative looking to create a more welcoming and inclusive environment for children and families seeking sanctuary?
We’re here to support you in making it happen.
At Ubuntu, we support groups across Northern Ireland to welcome, include, and empower families seeking sanctuary through tailored project development, training, and the sharing of best practice.
Whether you're starting something new or strengthening what you already offer, we’ll work alongside you to build programmes or enhance practice that promotes connection, wellbeing, and skill‑building in your community.
What we offer
Programme development support
We can help you design and deliver initiatives tailored to the needs of your community, from first ideas to full programmes.
Training
We can deliver flexible, practical training and reflective sessions on myth busting, cultural consciousness and using our guides and tools effectively
We can also adapt sessions to meet your group’s needs.
Parenting programmes
If your community identifies a need, we can provide bespoke parenting support programmes that are designed with and for families seeking sanctuary
This includes delivery of our Ubuntu Family Threads Programme, an evidence-based early‑intervention programme for families with children aged 0–5 who have arrived seeking sanctuary. We can also offer Safeguarding in Northern Ireland workshops, to support those newly arrived in the country.
Written guides and resources
We offer high‑quality guides, training, and initial co‑facilitation so you can confidently deliver programmes in a way that works best for your group.
Some of our guides include:
-
Growing Together: supporting social and emotional development through play for young children seeking sanctuary.

School Readiness: helping children prepare for formal education.
-
Cultural Kitchen: using food, culture, and shared experiences to promote integration and wellbeing.
