Bringing our Health Promotion services to Ballymena: A Community Effort
Ballymena Well Community programme is a targeted health promotion initiative delivered to underserved areas within the Ballymena area and supports the health priorities as outlined in our strategic plan, with a clear mission: to bring high-quality, accessible health promotion services to underserved communities.
We’re deeply grateful to the individuals and organisations who have welcomed us into their communities. Many local organisations have partnered with the programme, and a number of community groups have taken part in our four-week taster sessions.
Many participants have since gone on to join our Well You 1 year behaviour change programme for individuals, continuing their journey toward better health through healthier lifestyles.
If you are a community group or organisation within the Ballymena area and would like more information on our 4 week taster programme, health checks or other health promotion services we offer please contact us on well community email

"I think this is a very worthwhile thing, to stop members of the public and offer to check blood pressure and irregular heartbeat, very worthwhile.”
