Public benefits
The charity beneficiaries are all young people aged 11 to 25 years of age who live in or have access to rural areas of Northern Ireland. These members and the wider rural community will benefit through education and training programmes in specific aspects of agriculture and rural life. These programmes of training, education and in some cases
competition lead to a greater understanding of their environment , enhanced knowledge and for some the development of their employability and other personal capacities. Programmes of personal development and capacity building in areas such as but not limited to public speaking, debating and presenting improve self worth and self confidence. Although a charity in our own right community involvement is at the hub of the organisation. Clubs and Individuals work on programmes to raise monies for local communities, develop the environment and work on a cross community and with other Section 75 groups. Self reliance and responsibility is developed through taking up Individual roles within the club structure developing leadership, secretarial and financial skills, specific skills such as communication and as they develop as members they develop advocacy skills within the organisation and within the local community. All benefits are measured through internal and external evaluations , surveys etc. I can confirm that are no private benefits and the purpose is not harmful.

cinema etc. members design their programme, manage events and 29 become Board members. there is an International dimension with Junior and Senior Exchanges and Rallies. the core of what we do is self managed development of young people aged 11-30 into well rounded individuals with additional skills learned outside the formal education setting with circa 50% male/female ratio and circa 50% farming/non farming
