• Coleraine Area Child Contact Centre (Ballycastle)

    A Child Contact Centre is a safe, friendly and neutral place where children of separated families can spend time with one or both parents, and sometimes other family members. It is a child-centred environment that puts the need of the children first. Sadly, up to one in three marriages/relationships end in separation today and many children loose contact with one of their parents. The Contact Centre is part of a network of centres in N. Ireland that gives opportunity to children for meaningful and safe contact with both parents and assists them in dealing with the emotional and psychological effects of separation and loss.

    For more information about this work please contact Sabrina Scullion Tel: 078 9979 2948 or visit website. CACCC (Ballycastle) is independent from Ballycastle Presbyterian Church meets in our premises and is staffed by volunteers many of whom are members of our congregation and other local churches.

  • Ballycastle Foodbank

    “The foodbank was there when we really needed it, it was an absolute lifeline.”

    We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.
