TADA was delighted to attend today’s celebration of over 10 years of the ABC Community Development Financial Assistance Programme at South Lake Leisure Centre.

Since 2015, more than £10 million has been invested in the local community and voluntary sector through community grants and the Financial Assistance Programme.

The event was a great opportunity to hear some of the success stories made possible through this investment and to connect with community and voluntary organisations from across the borough.

TADA Community Development Officer Mary Kate and Vice Chairperson Kyle Savage were there with the TADA stall and enjoyed catching up with familiar faces as well as making some new connections.

A fantastic opportunity to celebrate the work happening within our communities and the difference that continued investment in the community and voluntary sector can make.

Thank you to Armagh City, Banbridge & Craigavon Borough Council for bringing everyone together to mark this milestone.

🌿 What a brilliant Community Wellbeing Day! 🌿

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at Maghaberry Community Centre for our Community Wellbeing Day.

The centre was buzzing with health checks, complementary therapies, Chair Yoga, Boccia, arts and crafts, winter herb planting, herbal tea making, nail treatments and lots more.

A very special thank you to all of the organisations and stallholders who came along and gave their time to share information, advice and support. Having such a wide range of services together in one place was a huge part of what made the day so worthwhile.

Our complementary therapy appointments were fully booked and it was lovely to see people getting involved in the activities, chatting with stallholders, trying something new and simply taking some time out for themselves.

And of course, there was plenty of good food, tea, coffee and conversation along the way! ☕🥪

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day happen and to everyone who came through the doors and enjoyed it with us.

A really lovely day 💚
