Public benefits
The public benefit flowing from the purposes of Moneymore Activity Group is to educate members over 60 years of age who live in Moneymore and district about good health in its broadest sense. Members will attend health related training courses such as confidence building, healthy eating, health awareness, First Aid and as a result will be
encouraged to lead more healthy active lives. They will also attend fitness activities suited to the over 60's age group and by doing so will become more fit, more healthy and more purposeful lives. A further benefit of this is that these individuals will be able to attend these activities in a setting close to their own homes. This will improve their quality of life, reduce isolation and encourage cross community activity in a relatively isolated rural community. We will measure these benefits by regularly consulting our members who will help our Management Committee to decide on which activities they wish to become involved with. We will also measure the benefits by regular evaluation and monitoring forms which will be administered at the end of each activity or group activities. We will also measure the benefits by counting the numbers at each activity and recording the opinions of the participants. There are no private benefits flowing from these activities apart from Tutor expenses and no harm flowing from any activity promoted by the group.
