Decorum NI is an organisation that supports and empowers members of the security forces who served during the Troubles in Northern Ireland, in the period of Op Banner from 1969-2007.
Activities are coordinated from the Bangor Office where a Drop-In Centre is open Mon-Fri for social interaction and tea/coffee. The centre is open for use by members under the guidance of the full time Senior Staff Officer, Mitch Bresland

Purpose
- Decorum NI will work independently and collaboratively to meet the complex physical, mental or social needs of its members contributing to their overall well-being.
- Decorum NI strives to ensure that the true and accurate story of those who served is told in a way that engenders a better understanding in society in general.
- Decorum NI seeks to ensure that the legacy of the service given, is generous in recognising the sacrifice, and is promoted to give fuller understanding to current and future generations.
- Decorum NI is to promote, advocate and address the needs of former security service personnel and their families who have suffered as a result of the violence perpetrated over the period of Operation BANNER between 14 August 1969 and 31 July 2007.
- Decorum NI welcomes applications from all service personnel at home and abroad – subject to compliance with the conditions of our registration procedure (a unique way of keeping in touch with former service comrades)
