Public benefits
1. The Association is established to promote the Advancement of Citizenship and Community Development. The benefits to the public are open and accessible programs for developing and promoting civic values through encouraging voluntary and community activity by assisting with the development of the community through Physical, Economic and Social
renewal. We promote Social inclusion through volunteering and hosting a range of activities to involve all sections of the community and through the provision of dedicated community facilities. The following benefits flow from our purposes; Residents are active and involved. Community groups are resilient and thriving. People have access to services and support. Community buildings are welcoming and inclusive. Community groups are influential and engaged. These benefits are being demonstrated through a number of avenues Helping to establish new voluntary organisations to meet a need which is not currently being met. Assisting voluntary and community organisations in extending their activities to further benefit the public. Extending the participation in the voluntary sector of sections of the community who are under-represented within the sector. Improving the services of the voluntary sector in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and quality. Providing a range of locations and buildings to host activities. The charity’s beneficiaries are those individuals living or working within the geographical catchment area as described in the governing document of Southcity Resource and Development Centre. The purposes of our charity may lead to the following harm “some individuals may not be able to physically access the services provided. We can show this harm is outweighed by the benefits through a greater number of people becoming involved in citizenship and community development. We will mitigate any harm through the provision of information and home visits when required. The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is the potential for staff employed to receive a salary or other organisations to receive a rental income for the use of premises and this is incidental and necessary because we have to employ staff and provide locations to deliver the charitable purposes of the organisation.
