Public benefits

Object (1): The public benefits that flow from this purpose are: (i) The creation of employment and training opportunities in an economically and socially deprived area and consequently a reduction in poverty for those in financial need. (ii) Increased knowledge about setting up and running small private businesses and social enterprises and

increased levels of skill of those employees / work placement trainees taken on. (iii) Increased effectiveness of social enterprises and local voluntary and community groups due to the availability of affordable work and office space, and meeting and training rooms. These benefits can be evidenced in records kept by various agencies of the number of jobs created and participants in training and the use made of the facilities by community and voluntary groups. Object (2): The public benefits that flows from this purpose are improved fitness and all-round health and a greater sense of well-being among those using the community gym. No harm arises from Laganview Enterprise Centre’s purposes. Some incidental private gain arises for private sector tenants who gain from renting units on favourable terms.
