Demand is expected to be high for this course, so early registration is essential.
Northend’s Project Coordinator John Devlin explained: “All at Northend United Youth are delighted to be giving something back to our local community, without whose help, Northend wouldn’t be in the position it is today.
“We’d also like to thank the Joint Committee of NIPB/DOJ through the Ballymena Policing and Community Safety Partnership for funding and encouraging our new project,” added John.
