Connecting communities during Loneliness Awareness Week

The Causeway Loneliness Network (CLN) is a partnership of community, voluntary, health and statutory organisations, including Council, working together to reduce loneliness, social isolation and disconnection throughout our communities.

Together, they are creating stronger, more connected communities where no one has to face loneliness alone.

To mark Loneliness Awareness Week, which began yesterday, a number of events are planned across the Borough. The first event take place today (Tuesday) in Ballymoney:

☕Afternoon Tea
📅Tuesday 16 June
🕛3.00pm – 4.30pm
📍Old School House, Ballymoney

Everyone is welcome to come along, enjoy a cuppa and connect with others.

Getting around shapes how we live, work, and connect.

That’s why we’re asking people across Causeway Coast and Glens to share how they travel day to day - and what would make moving around our area even better.

From rural journeys to everyday commutes, your feedback will help shape a more connected, accessible, and reliable transport network for everyone.

Your input will help guide future transport planning across our area.
