Directory of Disability Services in the Ballymena Area 2015 DIRECTORY OF DISABILITY SERVICES IN THE BALLYMENA AREA Published in 2015 Produced by Children & Young People’s Strategic Partnership CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION 3 SUPPORT ORGANISATIONS 4-37 The Voluntary Services listed often provide support to those affected by disability. Each agency is usually related to something specific such as Alzheimer's, the Blind or those with physical disabilities. They advise and facilitate, aid and support. STATUTORY AGENCIES 38-45 A Statutory Agency is one provided under law - usually the responsibility of a Local Authority or Central Government Department. They provide help in an official capacity. SPORTS AND LEISURE 46-49 This section is all about accessing disabled and wheelchair friendly sports, and the groups that make this a possibility. 2 INTRODUCTION The Ballymena Locality Planning Group aims to improve the outcomes for children and young people through a multiagency planning approach. The locality planning group is an on-going process of engagement with children, young people and their families. Membership is open to all organisations who provide services in the area and the group is particularly keen to hear from children, young people and families themselves. We recognise that by working together we can all achieve better outcomes for our children and young people. This booklet was put together with the aim of providing contact details for a number of services who provide support to those affected by disability / additional needs in the Ballymena area.

    IntroductionI Step into Ballymena's past with self-guided Churchyard Trails The Ballymena area is dotted with a diverse range of churchyards reflecting the fluid and constantly evolving nature of religious sites from the late 400s onwards. Each site offers a different experience and has its own unique story to tell within the wider history of the area. This booklet features two distinct trails. Pre-Reformation Trail The Pre-Reformation Trail explores the history of some of the oldest remaining traces of built heritage in the area. It highlights sites that have been used for Christian worship from the time of St Patrick and before the formation of the Protestant faith in the early 1500s. Covenanter Trail The Covenanter Trail delves into the distinctive history and associated sites of the 'Covenanters', or Reformed Presbyterian Church, in the local area. Covenanters were named after the National Covenant and the Solemn League and Covenant signed in Scotland in the mid 1600s. In 1644 the Solemn League and Covenant was brought to Ireland and signed in 26 places across Ulster, including Ballymena. These documents declared Presbyterianism to be the only true form of church government and insisted that the King should have no authority over the church.
