Bryson Charitable Group develops and delivers sustainable responses to social needs across Northern Ireland and beyond. The Group operates through social business units all with the aim of Building Better Futures. Projects include those supporting vulnerable individuals, families and communities, including ethnic minority communities and and Asylum Seekers and Refugees. We also have recycling and energy projects, as well as training programmes for unemployed people. Our main activities fall broadly into the categories of social care, environmentally beneficial projects and multi-culturalism and over 110 years after we were established, volunteering continues to play an important part in the organisation. Bryson Charitable Group has been involved in hosting and sending European Voluntary Service (EVS) volunteers since 1997, have hosted/co-ordinated over 200 volunteers and sent more than 50 young people from Northern Ireland to projects across Europe and beyond. We are currently a Hosting, Coordinating and Sending Organisation. In addition we work with EIL UK to deliver on arrival trainings and mid term evaluations. Through the years we have seen the enormous benefits of the programme, to the volunteers themselves, to the organisations involved and to the local communities they work with. As a Group, Bryson employs over 1,000 staff across a number of different projects in various parts of Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Wales.
