What we do

L’Arche-French for ‘The Ark’ is an international federation of 140 communities across 35 countries. L’Arche Belfast provides supported living and Day Opportunities services for adults with learning disabilities within the context of a loving and supportive community.

We now provide supported living accommodation to 14 adults with Learning Disabilities and have recently expanded our service to include a Day Opportunities Service called the “L’Arche Village”.  At L’Arche Village we offer work project placements to over 80 people with and without learning disabilities each week.

The L’Arche Village now includes a vegetable garden with two polytunnels and a greenhouse, a chicken run, a sensory garden, a training kitchen, a woodworking shop, an art studio, a music room, four multi-purpose rooms, and offices for our work project staff.

L’Arche believes that persons with learning disabilities have something unique to offer to the people around them that has the potential to transform our society.

Gifts In Wills

L’Arche communities celebrate the gifts of all people, especially those with learning disabilities. Leaving a gift to L’Arche Belfast is one of the best ways to support our work.

A gift in your will makes a huge difference in providing safe spaces for people of all abilities and backgrounds to come together to share their lives and build strong social connections.  It provides opportunities for our participants to be active citizens and to make a positive contribution to the local communities where they live.

Thank you for considering leaving a gift in your Will to L’Arche Belfast and helping us continue to change the world one heart at a time.
