To maintain and manage a centre in the area of benefit for activities promoted by the association. The direct benefit which flows from this purpose is: the ongoing provision of a community space for programmes and activities for children, young people and adults in the Clarawood community and surrounding areas in Belfast. These benefits will be evidenced through feedback from beneficiaries, parents and teachers; school inspection reports; Government statistics. We believe that this purpose will lead to no clearly identified harm. The charity’s beneficiaries are: children, young people and adults in the Clarawood community and surrounding areas in Belfast. There may be private benefits from the provision of training and support, but these benefits would be incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to beneficiaries.
