Coleraine Connect
Not the Council...
Coleraine Connect is not part of Causeway Coast & Glens Council. While we work alongside local authorities and stakeholders, Coleraine Connect is an independent, business-led organisation with a clear focus, delivering real value to the businesses that fund it.
What We Do
More doing, less talking.
Coleraine doesn't need another strategy document. It needs things to actually happen, more people in the town, more reasons to visit, and more support for the businesses that keep it going. That's what we're here for.
Events & Promotion
From big seasonal occasions to smaller regular happenings, we organise events that bring people into the town centre and keep them coming back.
Business Support
