MAPS was formed in 2011 as an ex-services charity run by those who themselves served their community during the time commonly known as ‘The Troubles’ under Operation Banner. We have the vital experience, skills and empathy needed to look after the welfare, support and signposting needs of former colleagues.
Our Response
Our response is to reach out to a population who have felt forgotten, alienated and neglected since the end of their service. Operating in one of the most socially deprived areas of Northern Ireland, we acknowledge that the basic welfare needs of those who served has been lacking for many years.
Our Dedication
We acknowledge that there is a real need for a group to work confidentially on behalf of ex-security forces. We dedicate ourselves to identifying and communicating with those who served and encouraging them to join with us to avail of the support and benefits they are entitled to.
Our Area
We cover from the Clogher Valley to Magheramason. With such a large territory we anticipate having local 'surgeries' in your own area.
Want to know more?
Join together with a group of friends from the ex-service community and we will come to you with a presentation and explain what MAPS is about.
