With a vision of "Every Person Stronger", Start360 now supports 20,000 people each year to change their lives for the better through its innovative range of health, justice, and employability services. The charity is also the largest provider of addiction and mental health support across all three prisons in Northern Ireland.
Hagan Homes donated £75,000 to Start360 allowing the charity to employ its first full-time Volunteer Co-Ordinator. This vital role enables the charity to support young people with experience of the criminal justice system, mental health issues, or substance misuse, to find increased stability in their lives through new volunteering opportunities.
Hagan Homes chose to donate to Start360 after Founder James Hagan heard from one of the charity's youth workers how its distinctive services had helped her to turn her life around when she was younger, and how the volunteering opportunities she was provided with gave her a foothold in establishing her career in Youth Work. Providing Start360 with the ability to run this life-changing service is a testament to Hagan Homes' objective of reaching out to causes that are often overlooked but play such an impactful role in society.
