Who are we?
We are a group young people who live in the Ballycastle and Moyle area. We are regarded as having a disability which limits what we are able to do.
What do we do?
Greenlight Gateway is about providing training and employment opportunities for people with learning disabilities in the Moyle area, and is a Recycling, employment and educational based project. Through this project these young people will develop a sense of worth, increase self confidence, work and life skills.

What do we want?
We are looking for you to collect your cans and clothes for us, we will collect and recycle them in one of our many collection banks which you may have seen around Ballycastle and the wider Moyle area. If you want one in your area please contact us and we will see what we can do.
What else do we do?
We sell plants from our Greenlight Garden Centre in Ballycastle, so if you want a specialised range of quality bedding plants we can help you dress your window boxes and tubs. We also educate the young adults who come here by learning them how to use computars and the internet. We are also trying to teach the importance of healthy eating by making the young adults a healthy lunch, and doing regular activities with them.
