We were delighted to welcome Minister Gordon Lyons MLA , Paul Frew, and the Department for Communities team to our Ballymena office on Mill Street yesterday.
Thank you for taking the time to meet with us, speak with our team, and hear first‑hand about the positive impact the Integrated Advice Partnership Fund is having here in Mid & East Antrim and across Northern Ireland. This continued support is enabling people to access debt advice earlier, more easily, and in settings they already trust.

Minister Gordon Lyons MLA has confirmed that his department’s Integrated Advice Partnership Fund will be extended into 2026/27 following a successful interim review of initiatives delivered across all 11 council areas.

We had a fantastic day at the Community Wellbeing Day in Cullybackey Community Centre, organised by the Northern Area Community Network and Cullybackey Community Partnership.
It was lovely connecting with the local community and catching up with Jackson and Alison Minford and the other attendees, and hearing about all the brilliant community work happening locally. Events like this really highlight the importance of connection, support, partnership working, and looking after our wellbeing together.
Thank you to everyone involved for such a warm and welcoming event; it was a pleasure to attend! 💙
