Answer
While my Department does not directly fund or provide youth services in the Ballyclare and South Antrim areas, my Department funds a Community Development Officer in Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council as part of the Neighbourhood Renewal programme. Part of the role of this officer is to leverage funds from other sources to enable delivery of youth programmes including summer schemes, youth clubs and sport related interventions in both these areas.
