... [more] [less]What your organisation does
The Trustees meet monthly to discuss existing projects and their development and to discuss and agree any new projects that meet and fit in with the objectives set out in the constitution. The organisation was established in the 1990s and in that time has successfully managed the Town Hall in Ederney which is owned by Fermanagh and Omagh District
Council, but which is leased to the Trust. A large number of local community and voluntary groups meet in the Town Hall and use its facilities. Other historical projects included the development of the Glendarragh Valley Inn - a social enterprise - that includes a restaurant/B&B or Guest House accommodation and meeting space. Current projects include a community hub, which has received £1,000,000 funding from the Big Lottery -this is a joint project with Kesh Community Association - and an application to the Heritage Lottery Fund to redevelop one of the derelict, listed buildings in the village. The Trustees also lobby for improved and better services in the village and area, for example, roads, lighting and financial and other services. The Trust recently carried out a community consultation into the needs of the village and area that received over 200 responses.
