Connecting Communities is coming to Ballymena!

Wednesday 6 August 2025

Live Here Love Here’s Connecting Communities events are returning this summer bringing free, local events to communities across Northern Ireland!

These gatherings are all about bringing people together—to connect volunteers, share ideas, and spark positive change in local areas. Whether you're looking to get more involved in your community or hoping to pick up practical tips and inspiration, these events are the perfect starting point.

An event has been organised in Ballymena on 28 August 2025 at 12noon in The Showgrounds. It’s the perfect chance to discover inspiring local projects, explore funding opportunities plus share ideas and learn from others.

You will also have the opportunity to meet local organisations like Volunteer Now, True Harvest Seeds, Radius Housing, The Conservation Volunteers, and Ulster GAA plus connect with local Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful Field Officers and learn how they can support your community or voluntary group.

You will hear from some amazing exhibitors and supporters, learn lots about taking environmental action, and secure information on funding opportunities to get your community project underway.

Come along, get inspired, and be part of something meaningful in your community.

Book your spot (under the Connecting Communities section) on the Live Here Love Here website.
