A group of Belfast mums have said they will do all that they can to ensure that the Quaker Cottage family centre stays open and can continue its work helping families.
The family centre halfway up Black Mountain is due to close at the beginning of December due to funding issues, with those using the service saying that it will be a huge blow to families in North and West Belfast as "there is nowhere that gives you the help and support like Quaker Cottage."
The centre has had some of its funding withdrawn by the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust and has a funding shortfall of £275,000, which means that it is going to have to close its doors in December after 42 years supporting the community.
