About
The Marion Centre was founded to create lasting, transformative change in our community through education. We offer a unique and vital learning experience tailored to the needs of people in our community and beyond. At the heart of our work is a belief that education is not only a pathway to knowledge but also a powerful tool for healing, self-discovery, and renewed purpose.
Our programmes are designed to support individuals experiencing mental health challenges, helping them reconnect with a sense of identity and direction. By combining targeted education, coaching, mentoring, and wellbeing-focused training, we equip learners with the skills and confidence to rebuild their lives.
We don’t just aim to impact individuals — we aim to spark generational change. By supporting mental wellness through education, The Marion Centre fosters resilience and personal growth that reaches far beyond the classroom.
Location
The Marion Centre of Excellence, located in the newly renovated St Comgall's School on the Falls Road, Belfast, is a social enterprise dedicated to breaking down barriers to employment. Many people are unable to pursue the careers they aspire to because they lack the opportunity to gain the right skills. This can affect not only their employment prospects but also their physical, social, and emotional wellbeing, often leading to long-term unemployment.
Our mission is to break this cycle. We see the Marion Centre of Excellence as a catalyst for change — creating opportunities, building skills, and empowering people to realise their potential.
Founded by highly motivated educational leaders with over 20 years of experience delivering excellence both locally and internationally, we are passionate about putting students at the centre of everything we do. With a proven track record of mentoring, building engaging learning experiences, and successfully driving positive change in education, we are committed to transforming lives through skills, learning, and opportunity.
