Public benefits
The charitable purpose of Camlough Rovers Football Club Ltd is solely for the public benefit. The Directors of our Charity are volunteers who work on a daily basis with other dedicated volunteers to organise, coach and field children’s football teams in the age group 5-13 years old and to similarly dedicate and impart these skills and values to
teams in the age groups 14-25 years old and who live in the areas of South Armagh and Newry & Mourne. We have teams of mixed abilities and everyone is welcome to benefit from our Charity’s purpose. There are many benefits that the public derive from our charitable activities such as social connectedness, personal development, learning of football skills, increased physical health, greater mental wellbeing and civic pride. The public beneficiaries are both members and non members and we actively encourage members of the public who may not have a close affinity with our Charity, to avail of our benefits. We publicise the benefits that our Charity has to offer, through social media and other outlets to attract more of the public. This is demonstrated by our Charity organising and holding children’s annual summer camps and term time camps on our site, which are hugely successful in encouraging the public to enjoy the benefits our Charity. Our Charity also makes our premises available to parents and children who wish to hold birthday parties and play football on our 3G pitch. The public beneficiaries of such schemes are the children and parents who benefit from the social value of this activity to the community, the influence on physical health, mental well being, friendships and personal development. Our Charity is always welcoming, accommodating and available to members of the public, male and female, young and old, who wish to avail of the benefits that our Charity has to offer. A demonstration of this occurs when colleagues from various workplaces make evening bookings to play on our Charity’s 3G pitch, volunteers are always on hand to assist and the public get to enjoy the benefit of playing on our Charity’s pitch and at times under floodlights. The public benefits which flow from this activity to those particular participants, is improved health, reduced levels of stress and anxiety, friendships and bonding. Another demonstration of public beneficiaries of our Charity, is when an over 30s ladies group regularly makes use of our 3G pitch and other facilities. They too benefit from improved physical health, greater mental wellbeing, friendships and companionship from been involved in an activity with their friends. Our Charity is conscious of the need to safeguard and protect the public beneficiaries of our purpose. Our coaches hold IFA Coaching Qualifications. Volunteers are trained in the use of a defibrillator and trained in first aid. The Charity has a qualified Child Protection Officer and a child protection policy is in place. No organisation or individual gains a private benefit from our Charity’s purposes.

By the smooth running of the football club. By the organisation and operation of various club teams from young children to youths. By encouraging young people and youth of the area to join and participate. By the involvement of qualified voluntary coaches who are members of the club. By the provision of a 3G pitch (playing surface) already in place
together with the existing full size football field, club house and pavilion. Camlough Rovers Football Club has been in existence from 1980 and has been wholly an amateur football club, until in early 2015 it was decided by the trustees to change the entity to that of a Guarantee Company with Charitable Status. Therefore, the club is a going concern and new business plan is not required as the aims and objects of the company and the day to day running of the club are the same as they were prior to Charitable Status. The first year's accounts of our company (new entity) for year ending 02 February 2016 have been audited by our accountant and submitted by him to Companies House and HMRC.
