It is intended that the small dwelling house on the lands will be utilised as a retreat for members of the clergy and laity of the Church of Ireland diocese of Clogher to relieve stress and increase wellbeing and to assist such clergy in performing their duties. (iii) The third object/purpose is the advancement of education on religious, cultural, social and environmental issues. Apart from as stated above it is anticipated that the lands will be used for educational visits and research in relation to the botanical, bird, animal, insect and other species on the lands. It is intended that this will benefit those who participate in advancing their education on these matters and that it will advance knowledge of these matters. Apart from any risk in walking over the lands, where it would be intended to take the necessary safety precautions, no harm is anticipated and no private benefit is anticipated. (iv) The fourth and fifth object/purpose is the making of donations to such charitable institution, body, fund or trust or institutions or bodies, funds or trusts and otherwise for such charitable purposes as the Trustees of the Charity decide.
