We
worked with North Antrim Community Network
to train local women as community facilitators. The women are
an additional resource in the North Antrim area, available to
support groups in rural development work.We work with rural
support networks, such as TADA (Tyrone, Armagh, Down
& Antrim) to identify area-based tasks for our
trained community facilitators to carry out in each area.
The Rural Women’s Programme
organised a networking event for women from Ballymena council
area. We asked Portglenone Enterprise Group
to host it because of their interest in addressing the needs
of women. As a result, community facilitators delivered a series
of taster sessions, and a new women’s group was formed. |
