Our Mission
At Equipping for Life (EfL) we believe that when children feel valued and supported their potentials are unlocked and their futures shaped for good. We are a Belfast faith-based charity, established in 2018 by Brother David Jardine, and we seek to offer people of Christian faith volunteering opportunities to support children in local primary schools.

“Our pupils have benefitted greatly from the one-to-one reading experience they have had through EfL. The children have blossomed academically, socially and spiritually. They look forward very much to their weekly sessions with the devoted group of volunteers.”
Forth River Primary School, Belfast
“The children burst into our quiet room full of life, bubbling over with excitement and expectancy, lifting our spirits and kick-starting us into gear. It’s just the best feeling of anticipation and reward. The children have no idea how much we appreciate seeing them, welcoming them and working with them. They make my week!”
