Project Description
The Programme, through a series of “Social actions” by residents in 10 towns/villages across the Borough, will affect a level of physical change to the locality. This will be achieved through either regenerating, renewing or transforming the look of the place through a series of environmental upgrades. The Programme will include towns and villages regarded as “well-mixed” but also will include some single-identity towns and villages. The Programme will support cross-community activity through the establishment of a Social Action Forum.
The towns/villages/hamlets/townlands are as follows: Aghadowey, Armoy, Ballycastle, Ballymoney, Castlerock, Glenariffe, Greysteel, Kilrea, Limavady and Portstewart.
The programme will address the following key issues:
- Dereliction of disused areas.
- Potential for reimaging.
- Increasing/supporting communal pride in the immediate locality.
- Enabling local communities to make decisions at local levels.
By the end of the programme, the following targets will have been achieved:
- 250 participants recruited
- A minimum of 26 hours (total) of meaningful engagement must be provided per participant.
- Deliver 1 x Social Action per town/village/ settlement (x10 participants)
- Finale Event – Official Launch with videos capturing participants effort and progress
