Purpose one – to advance health and well being. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose are the improved health and well being of the beneficiaries. This will be evidenced through feedback from the people of the community and also by having regular fitness tests and health checks. The beneficiaries of this purpose are all the residents

A private benefit to trustees could arise from our programme in that trustees and family may want to attend to gain knowledge and improve health and well being just like everyone else in the community. This benefit is incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries. Purpose two – to promote amateur sport, community recreation and play. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose are that more people will become involved in various sports.
