3 INTRODUCTION The Ballymoney Locality group was launched on 28th of June The group is made up of a broad range of community, statutory, and voluntary organisations alongside Councillors with the remit for children and young people in the area. The group aims to improve the outcomes for children and young people through a multiagency planning approach. The locality planning group is an ongoing 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 each member that represents the Ballymoney Children and Young People s Locality Group, with information also on the services provided.
