Activities for People with Disabilities

Jigsaw NI was set-up to provide activities for people with disabilities. Improving quality of life for those with disabilities is at the heart of the project, including social interaction with others.

Health & Well-being activities

Jigsaw NI helps prevent adults with disabilities becoming sedentary and socially excluded. We encourage our members to get involved, participate in an activity which they enjoy, learn new skills and get out of their houses to socially interact with other members of the community.

Mission Statement

Putting the Pieces together for People with Disabilities.

What makes us unique

Jigsaw NI provide an important and unique service. There are three main aspects that make us unique:

  1. Our Belfast activity groups are comprised of adults with varying types of disabilities, unlike other organisations we cater for many types of disabilities together. Some of our clients have commented on this saying that they feel it is great to have the diversity in the group. Our Bangor groups are solely for people with brain injuries. 
  2. Members can stay in our groups for as long as they feel they benefit from it. The groups are not time-based. Many organisations run 6-8 week programmes and it is only when participants are starting to benefit from the programme, that it ends and there is nothing for them to go to.
  3. For the Belfast groups, we accept self-referrals as well as referrals from health professionals. For the Bangor groups though, all referrals must go through the Brain Injury Team in the South Eastern Trust.
