Public benefits
There are 3 main purposes for our organisation which satisfy the elements of the public benefit requirement: 1st Purpose: Relieve Poverty, Sickness and the Aged – The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include opportunities to participate in affordable programmes and activities which help to tackle social isolation and exclusion which
helps improve the mental health of people in our community. We also run a number of programmes which benefit the physical health of our community, in particular those aimed at our senior citizens. Our lunch club provides a hot dinner at a low cost for seniors in the area. 2nd Purpose: To advance education – The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include the opportunity for the people in our community to take part in a wide range of different courses including; computers, community development, photography, arts and crafts, cookery, gardening etc. We provide a range of both accredited and non-accredited courses, and these are provided locally in our community centre, where people feel safe and secure, and it gives them the opportunity to take part in courses and try something new which they would not otherwise have the opportunity or finances/ resources to do. 3rd Purpose: To provide facilities in the interest of public welfare – The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include; the delivery of a wide range of projects and activities within our community centre which benefit all those who participate and the provision of a base for other services to be provided which are of direct benefit to our community. The provision of these programmes and services helps to build the capacity and cohesion of our community, it raises the confidence and self-esteem of those who are involved and it helps to tackle issues such as social isolation and loneliness. These benefits are all demonstrated through verbal feedback and records of attendance through our sign in book. The benefits are also demonstrated through feedback from external groups/ trainers/ agencies etc who come in to deliver some of these programmes and accreditation received. The direct beneficiaries of our organisation are those living in the West End of Enniskillen and the wider Enniskillen area. Those who use our centre and who attend our programmes and activities directly benefit from this engagement. The wider community also benefit as our centre is used as an outreach venue to address specific issues. Within our centre we hold regular inter-agency meetings where issues affecting the local community can be addressed by the relevant agency e.g. Environmental Issues, Housing Issues, Issues with roads/ footpaths. This indirectly benefits the wider community as we are representing the whole area and listen to the wider needs. The wider community also benefit through the outcome of the projects we run such as estate inspections and clean ups, planting etc. This allows the profile of our area to be raised which increases people’s pride in our area. The West End Partnership promotes equality of opportunity without distinction of age, gender, race, political, religious or other opinion. There is no harm relating to any of these benefits.
