Our vision is to have a transformed and thriving community where poverty is uncommon and unacceptable. Our mission is to provide people with practical, emotional and financial support at their crisis points of need while also empowering them to tackle the underlying root causes of poverty. We are based in Coleraine, Northern Ireland and our aim is to support people 'from crisis to full potential'. We've launched a range of community-based projects that offer a holistic approach to tackling poverty and its underlying root causes. We take a multi-faceted approach in addressing these complex issues to maximise the potential for lasting community transformation.

Recognising the significant deprivation in the local area and with a desire to encourage and empower vulnerable people to overcome poverty and crisis, Vineyard Compassion was established. The charity launched a range of community-based projects that offer a holistic approach to tackling poverty and its underlying root causes. Vineyard Compassion takes a multi-faceted approach in addressing these complex issues to maximise the potential for lasting community transformation. Projects have been developed ever since the first Compassion Christmas Dinner in 2001 with the charity formally established in March 2012.
