    • Serving schools and communities across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland to create space for pupils to pause, reflect or pray.

    Join our Connect Calls

    Each term we gather online with people from across Ireland and Northern Ireland to hear how prayer spaces are serving local communities. We are always so encouraged by these times so if you’re curious about Prayer Spaces in Schools or want to connect with others hosting great spaces, we would love to see you there.

    Next call is Wednesday 27th May at 11am. Get in touch for the zoom link.

    ‘I learned it in a prayer space’

    Primary School Pupil

    “The prayer space has been brilliant for my students. A personal, spiritual and peaceful experience for all groups: I highly recommend it.” 

    Head of R.E.

    “I’ve never seen prayer displayed or experienced like this before. It’s made me realise how many different ways prayer can be appreciated. It’s opened up religion into my life again. Thank you!” 

    6th Form pupil

    “I loved this place, it was so relaxed. It gave me a chance to say how I really felt as I don’t really talk with my family”
