About Us

Who we are.
Why we exist.

The Domino Effect CIC is a community-focused organisation committed to supporting young people who are navigating emotional, social, or life challenges.
We believe transformation is possible through consistent support, guidance, and encouragement. Our work combines practical mentoring with values rooted in love, responsibility, and personal growth.

Our Christian Ethos

Our approach is inspired by Christian principles:
  • Love in action
  • Respect for every person
  • Service to others
  • Restoration and hope
  • Integrity in all we do
Faith is expressed through compassion, character, and care. Participation in faith-related discussions is always voluntary and respectful of all backgrounds.

The Domino Concept

We believe positive change spreads.
When a young person gains confidence, makes healthier choices, and finds direction, the impact reaches beyond the individual influencing peers, families, and communities.
One life changed. A community transformed.

Who We Support

Young people aged approximately 12–25, particularly those who:
Experience loneliness or emotional distress
Lack stable support networks
Are at risk of exclusion
Are on probation or transitioning from custody
Need guidance, encouragement, structure, and positive influence during a difficult period
