Promoting Development in Rural Antrim and Newtownabbey
GROW South Antrim (Generating Rural Opportunities Within South Antrim) has been set up to manage and deliver funding under the Northern Ireland Rural Development Programme (2014 – 2020) across rural Antrim and Newtownabbey.

Are you a community group wanting to develop basic services?
Are you a village with an idea to develop?
If you have answered yes to any of the above questions, get in touch with us today
