Public benefits
BENEFIT ELEMENTS The benefits to the community are an improvement to the health and well being of the women and a reduction in their level of stress. A friendly sociable meeting place for all and an opportunity to build new friendships and develop new skills and talents. EVIDENCE OF THE BENEFITS The evaluation forms completed by the group after
each class and all other events are evidence of the individual benefits received by the group members. An attendance register is completed weekly and this identifies almost full attendance by members at classes and other events. HARM OR POSSIBILITY OF HARM There is no harm or private benefit from the activities of the group PUBLIC BENEFIT The women in the Toomebridge area are beneficiaries of our group activities. Some feel isolated as a result of bereavement while other living in a rural area experience social isolation, attending these weekly events make them feel more socially included in the community and an outlet for them to socialise with others of a similar age. PRIVATE BENEFIT There is no private benefit form the activities of the group.
... [more] [less]What your organisation does
Time 4 Me was formed in 2007 by local women who identified a need in our community for a group to organise social and recreational activities for older women, many of whom are socially isolated through widowhood, declining health and lack of financial resources. Our main focus is to improve the quality of their lives, by encouraging them to become
more integrated in the community and feel better about themselves. We provide craft classes, cookery demonstrations and social outings, in the rural areas isolation is a major issue, these programs allow older women to enjoy each other company and reminisce their lives. The programs are arranged by 4 voluntary committee members, they apply for funding, arrange tutors and ensure the premises are ready for the classes and meetings.
