Who are we?
Aspire Media N.I. CIC works in partnership with Aspire Social Enterprises CIC (Part of Focus on Family Nurturing & Development Centre), is founded with aims to revolutionise community-driven media production and ownership within the communities of Ballysally & Millburn. Founded in 2021 to assist Focus on Family initially to create a Community TV Channel based online about the area, we have since grown to ensure this is part of our social enterprise and company.
A little background on our foundation
The areas of Ballysally and Millburn have long suffered from negative external perceptions and inward attitudes, often exacerbated by media portrayals. For instance, the 2012 TV series ‘The Estate’ produced by BBC depicted the entire Ballysally area in a highly negative light, while further news broadcasts predominantly focused on the problems and criminality, overlooking the overall positive aspects of the community.
In response to this, a dedicated group of local individuals, supported by Focus on Family, Ballysally, have established Aspire Media TV. Based in Ballysally, this digital media production facility is open to all members of the local community. For more information relating to Aspire Media TV – visit aspiremedia.tv.
