All Saints Youth Club, Ballymena

Operating from purpose-built premises on Cushendall Road, All Saints Youth Club welcomes all children and young people from Ballymena and the surrounding areas.  They offer a range of personal and social development activities; recreational/play programmes; and residential work and summer schemes in a safe and caring environment.  The Club’s volunteer workers use informal education and factual information, looking at options and consequences, to encourage young people to make informed choices and take responsibility for their actions.  They wished to create a more active space inside their building and sought financial assistance with the purchase of pool and ping-pong tables, bean bags, a PlayStation and X-box.  The Committee gladly endorsed a grant of £1,000 from The Clothworkers’ NI Fund.
