Good Practice Visit

This is the first opportunity for Carrickfergus Castle and Knockagh DEA cluster members to join and learn from another local successful cluster group in the Borough.

YOUth Make a Difference Event

During Good Relations Week 2022 young people from across the Causeway Coast & Glens Youth Service Area aim to deliver a positive message that ‘Change Starts With Us’.

We will explore through a textile workshop while creating a piece of art, the pledges each individual will make. Through this sharing of our goals, we will connect building a stronger society and a more sustainable future.

Each group participating will then take on one shared goal back to their projects/clubs and will commit to taking this forward over the next year.

Highlighting ‘ CHANGE STARTS WITH US’ by making small pledges, one thing YOU can do can make a difference.

DATE :- 21st September at The Glens Youth Club Cushendall- 7-8.30pm
