What is NIMMA and what does it do?
|
|
As with most organisations today, we have developed a mission statement
to summarise what we are about:
"Supporting couples who are united in love across traditional
Christian divisions and promoting acceptance of these relationships
within Northern Ireland society"
|
 |
|
How NIMMA came to be established in 1974
|
|
We were established in 1974 when a number of couples came together
to share experiences and found common benefit. Find out more about
the origins of NIMMA.

The aims of the Northern Ireland Mixed Marriage Association
|
To provide support, advice and information to couples and families involved in mixed marriage/relationships.
To raise public awareness of the issue of mixed marriage/relationships and of NIMMA's support services.
To promote and facilitate relevant research into the needs of couples and families involved in mixed marriage/relationships.
To lobby policy makers, churches and organisations to address the needs of couples and families involved in mixed marriage/relationships.
To develop the capacity of the organisation to enable meeting of the strategic aims.
|
In pursuing these aims we undertake a range of activities.
This includes supporting couples and
families, events such as talks and conferences, working with the clergy
and influencing housing policy in Northern
Ireland. NIMMA continues to grow and develop
and is as relevant today as ever.
|
NIMMA celebrates 30 years of progressive action and support
|
|
In 2004 we marked our 30th anniversary with a range of special
activities. This included the launching at Stormont of our publication
"Mixed Marriage in Ireland". Copies are available in your local
library or directly from our office.
