Our Vision

More Than a Cleaning Company

Our ambition is to become more than a cleaning company. We are building a business that creates opportunities for people experiencing homelessness by providing paid employment, practical training, and a pathway towards independent living.

We believe that a job can be the first step in rebuilding confidence, financial stability and a brighter future.

Our Promise

Every contract awarded to First Choice Cleaning NI contributes towards building a business with a lasting social purpose across Northern Ireland.

The Challenge

Barriers to Work Are Barriers to Stability

Many people experiencing homelessness want to work but face barriers that make it difficult to move into stable housing, even when they are motivated to rebuild their life.

📋

Lack of Recent Employment

Gaps in work history make it harder to compete for available roles.

🧭

Limited Experience

Fewer opportunities to build the practical skills employers look for.

No Fixed Routine

Unstable living situations make consistent routines difficult to maintain.

🪪

ID & Banking Access

Difficulty accessing identification or banking, and limited financial security.

Our Solution

Supported Employment, Built With Partners

As First Choice Cleaning NI grows, we aim to work alongside homelessness charities, local authorities and support organisations to create supported employment opportunities.

Participants Would Receive

  • Paid employment
  • Practical cleaning training
  • Workplace mentoring
  • Help developing good work habits
  • Encouragement to build savings for independent living
  • Ongoing support through partner organisations

Our Role, Clearly Defined

Our role is to provide meaningful employment. Specialist support such as housing, benefits and wellbeing would remain with experienced partner organisations — we focus on what we do best, and let expert partners do the same.

Building a Brighter Future, Here at Home

Our mission starts and grows right here in Northern Ireland — one contract, one job, one fresh start at a time.

Success, Measured Differently

Not Just the Buildings We Clean — The Lives We Help Rebuild

Our long-term goal is to build one of Northern Ireland's leading commercial cleaning companies while creating genuine opportunities for people experiencing homelessness to gain employment, stability and independence.
