Welcome to Forthspring Inter Community Group

Established in 1997, Forthspring Inter Community Group (Forthspring) is an inclusive and innovative organisation based in a shared space at the Springfield/Woodvale interface in Belfast. For 27 years we have delivered high quality transformational programmes for all ages with a proven track record of delivery, a solid reputation in our community and a significant and consistent contribution to post conflict society in north and west Belfast. We have done this through the development and delivery of important services in response to the needs and demands of our community who have always been and remain deeply involved in and committed to our work. We seek to enhance life opportunities and to enable sustained relationships within and across comunities through a diverse range of programmes and activities. Our participants come from the Shankill/Woodvale and Clonard areas of north and west Belfast. 

We facilitate and encourage many groups to use our space, from gardening groups to tea-dancers and we manage a strong portfolio of projects, including work with local primary schools and youth work. We also provide affordable childcare for local families. Our work promotes dialogue and relationship building between divided  communities along Belfast’s biggest peace wall.

Ambitious and sustainable partnership is key to our work, and we are thankful for the many stakeholders that work with us in order to achieve our mission.

We are always looking for volunteers to help with our various projects, so if you’re interested in getting in touch, drop us a message on the Contact Us page above or contact: director@forthspring.com – thank you!
