Ballymena South established a Staff Team in 2011 as a direct result of a collaboration between the Department for Communities and Mid & East Antrim Borough Council.

The staff team comprises of a Full-time Community Development Officer and a Part-Time Administrative Assistant, working hands-on with the Community Groups of the Ballymena South areas of Ballee, Ballykeel & Harryville on a daily basis.

As a result of this joint investment from the Department for Communities & Mid & East Antrim Borough Council, since 2013, the Ballymena South Cluster Community Development Officer has secured approximately £543,500.00 of additional funding for projects in the area.
