Our vision

Partners in care Supporters in recovery Advocates for Change

CAUSE is funded by health and social care trusts across Northern Ireland in addition to receiving funding from DHSSPSNI to deliver service level agreements (SLAs). Access to funding from these sources requires us to meet stringent adherence to quality assured standards in our organisational policies and procedures. We believe in quality, we invest in quality, we deliver quality.

We are also committed to working collaboratively within our own sector and across sectors to achieving better outcomes for families, partners and friends supporting loved ones with a serious mental illness, regularly linking carers we work with to other services (statutory and voluntary) within their communities.
