Public benefits
Purpose: Promote the benefit of the inhabitants of the Ballybot Area: People in the Ballybot Area receive many benefits through the work of the Ballybot Community Association, these include, but are not restricted to the following: Better life opportunities. Opportunities to advance or continue education. Opportunities to engage in more
active lifestyles through the provision of health related programmes and activities leading to improvements in both physical and mental well-being. Opportunities for stronger bonds to develop between people, where friendly relations build trust and a mutual support network and prevent or reduce social isolation. Opportunities for community to come together to participate and contribute to a vibrant community life and enhanced community spirit. Opportunities for people to increase skills base / capacity. Developing people’s confidence and self-esteem to try something new. Building community knowledge & community development. These benefits will be demonstrated by: Registration and Evaluation Forms. Quarterly Activity Reports submitted to Council and DSD. Annual Reports Returns to funders / End of Grant Reports Achievements / milestones reached by people in the community. A combination of the above may also bring improvements in people’s employability, physical & mental health/well-being; it may also raise individual aspirations as well as reducing anti-social behaviour, improving community safety and creating less dependence on the State. This Purpose does not give rise to any harm. The benefit is intended primarily for the people living in the Ballybot Area of Newry City which is a designated Neighbourhood Renewal Area with high levels of multiple deprivation. There is no private benefit intended, however, some private benefit may arise to trustees because they may get to learn about various ‘opportunities’ before the rest of the community and may get access to good governance training and gain skills and experience which are transferable to other settings. These benefits are all incidental and necessary.
