Our Mission

At Equipping for Life (EfL) we believe that when children feel valued and supported their potentials are unlocked and their futures shaped for good. We are a Belfast faith-based charity, established in 2018 by Brother David Jardine, and we seek to offer people of Christian faith volunteering opportunities to support children in local primary schools.

“We have loved our partnership with Equipping for Life.  The volunteers have quickly become a part of the team at Currie and we value the contribution they make!  We also enjoy the relationship we have with the volunteers – they always arrive at school with a smile and give us an energy boost with their enthusiasm! ”

“The children burst into our quiet room full of life, bubbling over with excitement and expectancy, lifting our spirits and kick-starting us into gear. It’s just the best feeling of anticipation and reward. The children have no idea how much we appreciate seeing them, welcoming them and working with them. They make my week!”
