Parents across Belfast have expressed their sadness as a beloved family centre "like nothing else in Northern Ireland" has announced it will soon close.
Quaker Cottage on Ballygomartin Road, has been providing support to mum and their children in North and West Belfast for 40 years and has helped multiple generations of parents through difficult times and the challenges of raising their kids.
Due to funding issues, the family centre has issued a statement on social media saying that it will close its doors in December, breaking the hearts of families who have used it over the years and have called it a "lifeline" for new mothers that is "like nothing else in Northern Ireland".
