As well as getting involved with the community and using local facilities. Many local service providers from Ballymena attended the fund-raiser like the George Sloan Centre and Castle Tower School, to socialize and to have a great day out.

The fund-raiser was kindly sponsored by Cadburys and another charity called ‘Chocolate Memories’ an enterprise where adults with Autism make the chocolate and is part of Autism initiatives Northern Ireland kindly supplied raffle prizes.

Karen Bartlett base co-ordinator said: “This is a great opportunity for all our members and local adults with learning disabilities to socialize together and make new friends, as well as getting out into the community. Also it’s a fun day out and gets us working together.”
