The Craic

What's happenin'

We are very lucky to have a thriving Advisory Group in Ballymena with members from a wide range of community groups, community & voluntary sector representatives, statutory bodies like the PSNI & Housing Executive, educational Institutions, Council representatives & elected Councillors & Department for Communities representatives. We are working with the community in a 5-mile radius of the Housing for All, Shared Housing Site at St Patricks & all our work has a community devevelopment basis.

What's happenin'

Each Shared Housing Area has an associated Good Relations Plan informed by a local Advisory Group. This plan will be in place both before tenants move in (Pre-Tenancy) and for 5 years following all residents moving into the shared site.

Our Shared Housing, Good Relations programme is delivered under five themes in the wider community;

  • Education, Training and Employment
  • Health and Wellbeing
  • Arts and Culture
  • Advice and Advocacy
  • Community Development

This work is called ‘Bridging’ because it supports and delivers events and projects to promote connection between the new shared scheme and the surrounding community.
