The Gallaher Trust aims to work alongside delivery partners to create jobs, develop skills and help disadvantaged adults in Ballymena.
From supporting business start-ups, the reskilling of individuals through innovative programmes and academies across various sectors, to helping those who are often excluded from society such as older people in our community and those with disabilities. The Gallaher Trust has supported numerous organisations to ensure the greater Ballymena community is supported.
