Our organisation which has been working since 2009 was reconstituted early in 2015 to meet the requirements of charity registration. We manage a community resource centre which provides a focal hub for the local Ulster Scots and Orange communities. Various cultural and historical workshops are run allowing people to learn about local history, the
history and heritage of the Orange Order and the contribution of Ulster Scots locally and world-wide. Training is also facilitated to provide members of local voluntary and community groups with the necessary skills to achieve their purpose; this is delivered in partnership with organisations like Causeway Rural & Urban Network and Orange Community Network. We also hold exhibitions and tuition classes in the centre and it is used by many local organisations, including the local bands association and marshalling forum, to hold meetings and training sessions. We frequently have visitors to the area coming into the centre to look around and learn about our culture and heritage through items on display, our large collection of books and publications we make available, including those published by the Ulster Scots Community Network. We work in partnership with other local organisations, including LOL, ABOD and RBP to organise events such as community festivals and exhibitions; these events give the general public an opportunity to learn about the loyal orders and the attendant culture.
