Bagenalstown Improvement Group

How we communicate with our community

Bagenalstown Improvement Group has successfully facilitated the establishment of a  residents association in EVERY residential area in our Town. Residential areas are currently  at different stages of development and involvement. It is our ambition to ensure with  support, that all of these associations progress to a high standard of commitment and work.  We often find that most people are not interested in joining committees but will gladly  volunteer their time when asked to do so.

B.I.G. has engaged with many voluntary groups to progress works and schemes in our area  including;

∙ Scouts X 2 Groups                            ∙ Schools,

∙ Beam Service,                                   ∙ Church Parish Group,
