First Choice Cleaning NI is a commercial cleaning company serving businesses across Northern Ireland — with an ambition that goes far beyond cleaning.
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.
Every contract awarded to First Choice Cleaning NI contributes towards building a business with a lasting social purpose across Northern Ireland.
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.
Gaps in work history make it harder to compete for available roles.
Fewer opportunities to build the practical skills employers look for.
Unstable living situations make consistent routines difficult to maintain.
Difficulty accessing identification or banking, and limited financial security.
As First Choice Cleaning NI grows, we aim to work alongside homelessness charities, local authorities and support organisations to create supported employment opportunities.
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.
