The public benefit is that older people in the Ards Peninsula region are offered the opportunity to continue to learn, share their knowledge and skills and make new friends in a convivial and stimulating environment thus reducing social isolation and contributing to members staying physically and mentally healthy. The benefit is demonstrated by
