Public benefits
Culmore Youth Football Club meets the public benefit requirement and falls under three areas of charitable purposes as follows: Purpose one (Advancing amatuer sport) The direct benefit which flows from this purpose is that of improved physical health, development of relationships with peers and elders for the children and young people who
participate and improved community life through sports, namely football. Participants increase their levels of physical activity and learn and develop new skills in sport. These benefits are evidenced through attendance sheets of members attending the club for training and matches and through feedback obtained from the members, parents/guardians and club volunteers. Regarding potential harm flowing from this benefit; participation in sporting activities always carries a risk of injury, however ensuring that participants are fit and wearing of proper protective equipment, e.g. shin guards proper footwear and engaging in suitable warm up activities mitigates the risk and allows the child or young person to fully enjoy and benefit from the activity. Our club is covered by adequate insurance and we keep a first aid kit on the premises at all times. The beneficiaries of this purpose are our members who are young people aged up to 25 years of age from all areas of Derry City There may be a private benefit arising from this as the club may pay for volunteer coaches to obtain their FAI Level One Qualification in Coaching. This benefit is incidental and necessary for the professional delivery of training and coaching to our young people. Purpose two (Advancing health) The direct benefit which flows from this purpose is that young people are more educated as to the benefits of healthy eating and participation in physical activity. These benefits are evidenced through feedback from individual members, parents/guardians and club volunteers. There is no harm flowing from this purpose. The beneficiaries of this purpose are the young people who are members of the football club (aged up to 25 years old). There is no private benefit arising from this purpose Purpose three (Providing facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for said inhabitants) The direct benefit which flows from this purpose is improved community life, new and existing community infrastructure developed and maintained so that they can be used by the community and residents of Derry City. The benefits are evidenced through feedback from members/users of club facilities and regular evaluation of the facilities that we provide at the Culmore Football Club. Regarding harm arising from this purpose, the provision of sporting facilities means that injury to participants could possibly arise. We minimise this risk by following health and safety standards, carrying out routine risk assessments, obtaining adequate insurance, and ensuring that a first aid box is kept on the premises.
