SCD provide, maintain and equip premises and facilities for the inhabitants of Springfield to benefit from and enjoy improved conditions of life. SCD works to benefit the inhabitants of Springfield. SCD provide facilities for the use of
the inhabitants and assist a wide spectrum of people, from young people, unemployed people, disabled people and the elderly. As a result of providing and maintaining these premises we help the charitable organisations operating from our premises extend their activities and ensure maximum benefit and improvement to the conditions of life for the inhabitants of Springfield. In considering the benefits flowing from SCD's management and promotion of its premises and facilities for charitable purposes the use of the properties as a Day Centre and Advice Centre and for Volunteer Programme's and Triage Project acts to encourage the community to develop friendships and relationships and for community members to equip themselves with the necessary skills to improve their conditions of life. This in turn enables the creation of a friendly community atmosphere with better skilled inhabitants and provides for a better future for the community. As a direct result of the input of SCD, the benefits to the community and beneficiaries gained will include gaining a greater sense of belonging to the community, improved confidence, awareness, well being and health. The social, cultural and educational life for all will become inclusive and enhanced. The benefits will be demonstrated through feedback from the local community and voluntary sector. There is no harm or possibility of harm arising from any of the purposes. The beneficiaries of this purpose are all inhabitants of Springfield. Benefits to people who are not the intended beneficiaries are incidental.

It has purchased premises, several of which were derelict and developed these properties into useful facilities which will improve the conditions of life for the inhabitants of Springfield.
