Employers For Childcare is a charity that also operates as a social enterprise from Lisburn, Northern Ireland. Its social enterprise activities include a childcare voucher service—the UK's only such venture—and recruitment services for childcare providers in Northern Ireland, as well as High Rise, a family adventure centre in Lisburn. Profits from these activities are fully reinvested into the charity’s work, supporting its broader mission to address childcare as a labour-market and economic issue. The charity serves parents, employers, and childcare providers with services such as a Family Benefits Advice Service, research, and lobbying on childcare and work-related issues. High Rise offers an inclusive, accessible venue with indoor climbing, soft play, sensory spaces, meeting areas, a cafe, and an accessible toilet, and it can be hired for events and group activities. Recent developments include the publication of a Social Impact Report in 2021 and the NI Childcare Survey in 2020.
