Purpose 1: To advance community development by providing office space, facilities and services and by providing a forum to share views. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include: tenant groups benefit from networking and information sharing of services, and provision of affordable and accessible office space. These benefits will
be evidenced by retention of tenant organisations at full occupancy; substantial waiting list for office space; word of mouth feedback. We do not anticipate any harm leading from the purposes of our charity. The charity’s beneficiaries are primarily people in the Omagh District Council area as well as adjoining Council areas. The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is that a trustee may be paid for professional services required by the organisation. This benefit is incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries. Purpose 2: To provide facilities by way of an inclusive and open venue for members of the community. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include groups/organisations/ individuals who hire the conference and training rooms benefit from a neutral venue which is accessible and affordable; participants have increased knowledge and skills through attending workshops, training, events etc.; local artists benefit from exhibiting their artwork in a large, visible and public area, increasing their profile and ultimately sales. These benefits are evidenced by return bookings for room hire, follow-up comment forms for those hiring facilities; word of mouth feedback; visitor/comment book.
