Public benefits
The purpose of Mid-Ulster Athletic Club is to promote community participation in healthy recreation by providing coaching and facilities for athletic sports in the Mid-Ulster area. This is set out in more detail in the Club Constitution under paragraph 3, “Object”. The public benefits which flow from this purpose include the promotion of health
and recreation for people aged 5 upwards in the Mid-Ulster area through the sport of amateur athletics. It also advances the levels of competence and achievement in the range of track, field and related athletic disciplines, thereby enabling participants to achieve their full potential in the sport. These benefits are evidenced in the level of Club membership (c. 120 registered Junior Athletes (aged 5 – 10); c.60 registered Development and Senior Athletes (aged 11+); c. 20 Coaches (accredited by the UK governing body, UK Athletics). The Club also delivers the Athletics Summer Scheme (“Star Track”), endorsed by UK Athletics which attracts up to 160 children annually. The club has held N. Ireland & Ulster, Irish and UK titles and regularly has medallists in juvenile competition at NI & Ulster level. It is actively involved with “Sportshall” Athletics for secondary schools and “Fun in Athletics” for the primary sector. The Club has also organised Disability Sportshall Athletics. The possibility of harm, for example by physical injury through participation in athletic events, is outweighed by the benefit and significantly reduced by the policies and procedures in place to address such risks, for example Codes of Conduct for Athletes, Children, Coaches, Volunteers & Parents. Club sessions are delivered and supervised by Club Coaches who are licensed and accredited by UK Athletics (UKA), the sport’s governing body. The charity’s beneficiaries are people aged from 5 upwards living in the Mid-Ulster area. There is no private benefit flowing from the purpose of our organisation. Beneficiaries are Club members who seek to achieve personal bests in their chosen athletic activities.
