Purpose 1: the advancement of education and protection of health among older people The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include people learning new skills and continued good health. This benefit is evidenced by members having health checks in the club as part of our programme and reporting improved well-being, through blood pressure
checks, for example. We do not anticipate any harm leading from the purposes of our charity. The benefit is for older people in the Omagh area. There is no private benefit other than the beneficiaries gaining knowledge and the skills to improve their quality of life. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
