The direct benefits which flow from the Charity’s purposes are as below: No 1 - The physical preservation, protection and improvement of built heritage assets within Northern Ireland and in particular the Kilmore area of County Armagh. Buildings and places of significance are protected and preserved so that the area retains its important

Kilmore Oneilland Trust (“KOT”) identifies buildings or structures of particular beauty, or historic, environmental, architectural or constructional merit or interest in Northern Ireland and in particular the Kilmore area of County Armagh, that are in need of repair or restoration and re-use for their protection and preservation, with the intention
of securing a sustainable future for the structures for the public benefit and in furtherance of the objects of the Charity. KOT works with statutory agencies and the community to identify opportunities for preservation, it draws down grant aid to develop plans, renovate and restore buildings and finds new uses to make them sustainable. KOT promotes and encourages the education of the public in our heritage by engaging in research and drawing down funds to recruit volunteers and to train and educate the community about the significance of the local heritage and history. Examples of our work in this space include: the successful delivery of a heritage skills sharing weekend in partnership with other organisations; leading on the complete and careful restoration of the 19th century listed wrought iron Kilmore village gates which provided employment to a local heritage craftsperson and which remain accessible to all for generations to come; as well as our work to find a sustainable use or uses for the Kilmore Cottage - a derelict and thatched Listed Building at Risk - which stands at the centre of Kilmore village where we hope to address pressing needs identified in our community survey on the stage of our shared historic built environment. This may include provision of sustainable income from rental of portions of the premises and community facilities in order to sustain the premises and in the furtherance of the charity's objects.
