Public benefits

The direct benefits that flow from our main purpose is that residents of our area gain a greater belonging to the area and understand about rural life, especially for those not originally from the area, and by participating in rural led activities the residents gain more neighgbourhood awareness. The benefits are demonstrated by the numbers of

people from our area participating in the events that we run and by the feedback provided in our periodic surveys. Any harm might be risks of trips, falls etc by participating in events - these are mitigated by having specific risk assessments per event and safety briefings before the event. The beneficiaries are the 200pl us households within the area that our community group engages with i.e. in the order of 800 people. The private benefit flowing from the purpose is the ability by those involved in events to gain knowledge of event organisation and health & safety considerations and financial management.
