Purpose 1 – the promotion of urban and rural regeneration in the Toomebridge area; The Direct Benefits include: ? The attraction of investment to the area providing employment or the increase in footfall. ? Access to educational programmes leading to the development of new skills which open doors of opportunity for work. ?
The provision a large community building in which a range of services are based. These improve mental and physical health and with easy access through free, local parking for people availing of the services. ? A reduced level of anti social behaviour particularly amongst young people. ? An improved cross-community ethos with activities attracting people from all religion and cultures, new friendships have been developed by people who may not have otherwise ever had the opportunity to meet and many fears through ignorance have been removed. ? An involvement with national and international programmes for human rights and conflict resolution which have then been transferred back into the community successfully, tackling racism and creating a more diverse, equal community. ? A reduction or relief in poverty locally through, for example, an Oil Club which lessens the risks of ill health or possibly death among the elderly or others including those with a disability and helped other participating households. Purpose 2 – Advance the education of the public in the appreciation of art; The Direct Benefits for our beneficiaries include improvement schemes in the area and increased public access to, and appreciation of, features such as Carey’ Fountain at the village’s entrance. The benefits can be demonstrated through feedback from people both verbally and by evaluation forms, through increased uptake in usage both of the premises and the courses and positive media coverage of the area as well as feedback from the statutory bodies such as the PSNI and local Council. No harm will arise from our purposes. Some private benefits to 'unintended beneficiaries' may arise through the attraction of investment to the area providing employment or the increase in footfall of people but these will be incidental to the purposes.
