About this service

Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council’s Anti-Poverty Strategy brings together support linked to food access, financial advice, energy support, families and wellbeing, employment and skills. The council says the strategy is designed to improve access to essential services and help residents regain control over their lives while building longer-term resilience. For local people who may be facing several pressures at once, this wider anti-poverty support framework can be useful because it connects different strands of help instead of treating each issue in isolation. It is a practical signposting route rather than a single stand-alone crisis service.
