A huge thank you to everyone at UTK for your incredibly generous donation to Turning Point NI. 💜

We are truly grateful to have been chosen as your charity to support following the fantastic Webbers Wheels event hosted by Tim Webb. Community support like this helps us continue providing vital mental health support, crisis intervention, and su***de prevention services to those who need us most.

What makes this gesture even more meaningful is the way it has been tied to remembering two former members, Wayne Scullion and Derek McCurry, through the Light of Foot banner at your Annual Parade. Honouring their memory while raising awareness of the importance of mental health, friendship, and looking out for one another is something incredibly special.

Thank you also to Tim Webb for his continued efforts in bringing people together for such worthwhile causes.

We are so grateful for your support and kindness — together, we can continue reminding people that no one should ever feel alone. 💜

Mental wellbeing can be supported through the small things - staying connected, getting out of the house, speaking to friends, or taking time to do something you enjoy.

Missing the games? This weekend, why not take one positive action for yourself or someone else.

A heartfelt thank you to Ballykeel LSOU for their support and for helping create a moment of remembrance for those no longer with us. 💜

We hold close the memory of the loved ones our town. Behind every name is a family, a friendship, a story, and a space that can never truly be filled.

To everyone carrying grief, missing someone deeply, or quietly struggling with loss — please know you are not alone. As a community, we remember them, we speak their names, and we continue to support one another through the hardest of times.

𝗥𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀

Football can play a bigger role in people’s lives than many realise. The routine of matchdays, seeing familiar faces, and being part of a community can have a positive impact on mental wellbeing.

One of our supporters, Philip, shared his experience of supporting Ballymena United:

“I’ve supported Ballymena United for over 20 years, following the club both home and away, and it has played a massive part in my life and mental wellbeing. Football has given me friendships, memories, and a real sense of community over the years. No matter what is going on in life, having matchdays to look forward to and being around familiar faces has always been important to me. Supporting your local club is about so much more than just football.”

It’s a reminder of how important community, connection, and belonging can be.

𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽𝘀. 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁.

At Ballymena United, we want to encourage everyone to continue looking out for one another on and off the pitch.

- Send a message or make a call
- Ask someone how they’re doing
- Take time to listen
- Remind people they’re not alone

A simple conversation could make a real difference.
