About The Mission
The Big House helps young people who are finding life difficult or challenging, for whatever reason; it maybe due to bereavement, abuse or finding it hard to "fit in". The Big House runs counselling programmes for these children and their families or young workers, along side residential course from their recently purchased ex-school premises in Limavady.
Running the counselling and residential course from a Christian point of view and showing the love of Christ; it is hoped that these young people will come to faith and by putting their faith in Jesus will draw the strength in Him to get through their issues and carry on in life.
LIFT carried out work at these premises in 2022, helping to convert a large shed into an activity hall, suitable for playing games including football, basket ball, etc. The hall will also let them have group activities in all types of weather.
