Congratulations to the Rotary Club of Ballymena on reaching an incredible 400 million steps on the Treekly App — a truly fitting way to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Ballymena’s Town Charter.

Rotarians stepped out at Saturday’s Ballymena 400 parade around Ballymena, marking this milestone with the wider community.

This milestone is a powerful reflection of community spirit, teamwork, and dedication. Every step taken has not only honoured Ballymena’s rich history but has also contributed to a healthier, more connected community.

About the Treekly App

The Treekly App is built around a simple but inspiring mission — encouraging people to walk more for their own well-being while making a positive impact on the planet. By achieving daily step goals, participants help fund real-world tree-planting projects, support global reforestation, and help reduce carbon emissions, all while fostering friendly competition and community engagement.

Local Action, Global Impact

Through this initiative, the Rotary Club of Ballymena has demonstrated how local action can have a truly global impact. In addition to improving health and strengthening community bonds, the club has helped protect our environment for future generations by planting over 16,000 mangrove trees, thereby counteracting climate change.

An outstanding achievement — well done to everyone involved!nn
