Community

Belfast Harbour is committed to supporting communities within the city and the wider region through a range of programmes and initiatives.

Engaging with the community is essential to our approach, which is why, as a key part of our 2025-29 Strategy, we are talking with residents, nearby communities, businesses, and stakeholders, listening to their aspirations and concerns, and ensuring our plans align with their needs. This includes supporting local businesses and community initiatives.

One of our key programmes are the Belfast Harbour Community Awards, which since 2021 have delivered almost £400,000 worth of funding to 130 grassroots community organisations and charities for a range of initiatives, including mental health and wellbeing programmes, community events and sporting programmes to promote diversity and inclusion, and community garden projects. 

Our community engagement programme prioritises:

  • Supporting Communities;
  • Supporting Employability and Skills;
  • Supporting our Environment.
