The family of Chloe Mitchell have raised thousands in support of charity to help end violence against women and girls.
A fundraiser was held in her memory back in March 2024 at The Coach Bar in Ballymena, with further money being raised through the sale of Chloe Mitchell badges by family and friends throughout the year.
They raised £7,724 throughout the year in support of their local branch of Women's Aid operating in the Antrim, Ballymena, Carrickfergus, Larne, and Newtownabbey areas.

Nadine Mitchell, Chloe’s sister, said: “The Mitchell family wishes to express our heartfelt thanks to the local community for the generous support we have received in Chloe’s memory. All funds raised will support Women’s Aid ABCLN’s work here in Ballymena to end violence against women and girls.
“Chloe loved children and, as part of her legacy, this funding will help Women’s Aid ABCLN to provide increased awareness and greater protection for children and young people experiencing violence and abuse.”
Women’s Aid ABCLN CEO, Gillian Creevy, said: “This crucial work begins with educating our young people about healthy relationships and challenging the harmful attitudes, beliefs and behaviours that lead to male violence against women and girls.
"Our thanks go to the Mitchell and McDowell families and wider Harryville community for your tremendous commitment and support for Women’s Aid ABCLN.”
Women’s Aid ABCLN provides confidential support, information and emergency accommodation for women and children who are affected by domestic abuse across Antrim, Ballymena, Carrickfergus, Larne and Newtownabbey.
