Public benefits
The benefits flowing from the purposes of Ballyronan Community Playgroup are that pre-school children from Ballyronan and district can be looked after in a safe stimulating and learning environment supervised by suitably qualified play leaders. The children benefit from having such facility close to their homes, they benefit the access they have
to both education and recreation and safe and secure facilities managed by local people for local children. The community benefits because the management is run by volunteers meaning that cost can be kept at a reasonable level for working and non-working parents. The benefits can be demonstrated by the number of children attending the facility. It can be measured by the responses given by both children and parents at regular consultation/feedback sessions. There is no harm flowing from these purposes. The charity beneficiaries are the children from Ballyronan and district from statutory school age, their parents and extended families. Salaries are paid to playgroup staff without whom the Project could not exist.
