SUPPORTING THE BALLYMENA COMMUNITY

Established in 2017, The Gallaher Trust is an independent charity working to support delivery partners who promote job creation, skills development and provide assistance to disadvantaged adults in the wider Ballymena community. 

WHAT WE DO

The Gallaher Trust is an independent charity working to promote job creation and skills development and to provide support to disadvantaged adults in the wider Ballymena community.

Since the charity’s inception, £3.1 million has already been committed, to support a total of 38 projects, with 23 delivery partners. By 2028, the Trust plans to have committed £4 million to support projects that will create over 570 jobs, provide support to over 3,000 disadvantaged adults and develop skills for over 2,000 adults. 

The Trust aims to offer long-term support to the wider Ballymena community and already has helped create 493 jobs, upskill over 1,700 individuals and assist over 2,200 disadvantaged adults via various delivery partner projects.

HOW CAN WE HELP

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.
