The Scaffolding Project works in partnership with community organisations to tackle the impact of disadvantage in Inner East Belfast. We want to keep compassion at the heart of our community by making sure support is there when times are tough.

Food and fuel are at the heart of how the Scaffolding Project can help support local people in need, and this year more than ever, we want to make sure the impact of Covid-19 doesn't have an impact on Christmas!

EastSide Arts, supported by Arts Council of Northern Ireland, is delighted to invite applications for a new bursary award celebrating the legacy of C.S. Lewis.

Using C.S. Lewis as our inspiration, we ask, what is it like to arrive here in Northern Ireland from somewhere else? Where are the footholds and the touch-points to connect with Northern Ireland? What is it like call NI home if you have joint heritage?  

Who can apply?

To celebrate the 70th anniversary of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, EastSide Greenways has launched the C.S. Lewis Square Interactive Trail. We have teamed up with the UK’s leading trail writing company, Brilliant Trails, in the development of this new adventure.
