What we do
The WhistleStop is a short-break residential children's home. The WhistleStop provides overnight breaks to children and young people living with a disability in the specially adapted bungalow in Randalstown.
The service is commissioned by the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust (BHSCT). All referrals are made via the Children's Disability Service at BHSCT.
