Public benefits

The direct benefits which flow from our purposes is providing people who live in rural areas opportunities to meet and enjoy social interaction, helping to reduce social isolation. These flow from events and meetings organised and held for local people. Participants at these events get an opportunity to learn new skills while at the same time

contributing to their local community and environment. These benefits are demonstrated through feedback from participants and beneficiaries and by the level of uptake in our activities. Our beneficiaries are people living in the Cloughey and District area on the Ards Peninsula. A private benefit to Trustees may arise from undertaking and participating in the organisation of events and activities as they may gain skills and experiences which are transferable to other settings. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure that our beneficiaries have an improved quality of life.
