Public benefits
I believe we achieve the above objectives, and show a public benefit, in our provision of a neutral meeting place where a wide range of activities are available to both young and old. By local people having this facility they will be getting out and meeting each other in a social setting, helping to build community cohesion, reducing isolation
and improving their quality of life.

We provide a cross-community hall with facilities to enable the provision of social services, educational and recreational activities. We provide this on a non-profit basis run by unpaid volunteers for the benefit of all. Inverbrena Community Association has been set up to manage a village hall located in Strangford village. The Trustees of the
Diocese of Strangford and Kilclief provided the trustees of the Inverbrena Community Association with a fifty year lease at a peppercorn rent. The hall is managed by a committee of local people who come from the local area. This committee oversee the daily running of the hall, providing maintenance and cleaning on a non-payment basis. The hall is used by children, young people, adults and older people who come mainly from the local area. The hall is open seven days a week and is used by many sporting groups as well as local schools and voluntary groups who use the hall to deliver many activities attracting children, young people, adults and older people. Our funding is provided by donations, organisation of fund raising events, charging for use of the hall and the organisation of a monthly draw. We occasionally receive a small maintenance grant from Down District Council which allows us to keep our fees at a level our users can afford.
