Corporate partnership will help the charity to provide a range of vital services such as supported housing, carer and family support as well as day care in the community.

EPUKI recently unveiled plans for the Kilroot Energy Park concept, which includes the opportunity for an array of lower carbon and renewable energy technologies.

In addition, the firm proposes to build an Education and Learning centre on the site to share information about how it strives to produce electricity in a sustainable manner.
