Public benefits
The direct benefits, which flow from our purpose, include: Reducing isolation, poverty and improving the quality of life for people living in a rural area with the delivery of services on their doorstep. Community spirit is maintained and strengthened by involving everyone in locally based activities. People’s pride is developed and increased
with the development of improved physical and social infrastructure in their community. These benefits are demonstrated through the number of user groups and individuals booking our facilities, evaluation of activities and feedback and surveys carried out. No harm will result from the purpose of our charity. The charity’s beneficiaries are the people of Gortnaghey and surrounding townlands. There is no private benefit flowing from our purpose.
