AWARE NI is the Depression Charity for Northern Ireland.

A Derry-born charity, we now have two offices: one in Derry/Londonderry and a second office in Belfast. AWARE NI has an established network of 24 support groups across the country alongside online support group options. Support groups welcome people with low mood, anxiety, depression and bipolar as well as carers for people with mental ill-health. We also deliver information outreach sessions and attend community events to give more information about AWARE and our services. 

AWARE delivers mental health and well-being programmes into communities, schools, colleges, universities and workplaces. These programmes include our suite of Mood Matters programmes, Living Life to the Full, Mental Health First Aid, and Mindfulness

AWARE NI has a dedicated and passionate fundraising team organising fundraising events in schools and communities throughout Northern Ireland.
