Cliftonville Communtiy Regeneration Forum (CCRF) is an umbrella group for community organisations for the greater Cliftonville area of North Belfast. Our vision is to create "a confident, thriving, diverse community" and our mission is "working for the social, economic and physical regeneration of the community and creating the conditions for the
removal of the physical and mental barriers that divide us". Based in North Belfast the area consists of 3 Council Wards with a population of 9500 people, approximately 40% are under the age of 25 (Census 2011). According to the Noble Index of Multiple Deprivation these council wards are amongst some the most disadvantaged in Europe. Working in four main interface areas we encourage and facilitate cross community work and good relations work with young people and work with residents providing opportunities for members of the community to become positively active and feel included in their community. Following widespread resident and community consultation it was agreed that CCRF's strategic priorities up to 2020 would include the following three inter-related areas: • Regeneration • Children & Youth People • Peace Building and Good Relations
