Carrick Connect is a local not-for-profit organisation aimed at interacting with young people from the ages of 11 to 25 years.

First established in November 2014, it facilitates mentoring support and other outreach projects.

In 2022, Carrick Connect was presented with the Queen’s Award in Voluntary (QAVS) service - the highest award a group can receive and which is equivalent to an MBE.

The QAVS aims to recognise outstanding work by local volunteer groups to benefit their communities.
