Public benefits
There are many public benefits flowing from the activities of TRAAD Ballyronan & Ballinderry District Community Development Association. People of all ages benefit. Young people benefit from the Youth Club and the summer schemes organised by the Association. The general public benefit from the dances, the educational classes, the craft workshops
organised by the Association. Local cultural groups such as the CCE and the Irish dancing class benefit from having a venue where they can practice and perform. The elderly benefit from the Pensioners Club and the various outings arranged by the Association on their behalf. They also benefit from the weekly luncheon club where the elderly are brought to the centre by community transport where they can avail from a substantial hot meal. Local women benefit because they have a venue to meet in the local Women’s Group and those interested in music and drama benefit by having a well equipped small theatre both to practice and perform to the general public. Bereaved families benefit from the fact that they have a venue for funeral dinners and a meeting place where they can socialise. The benefits are easily measured by the numbers attending the activities of all the associated organisations linked to the Association. The Association also carries out regular evaluations of its activities, meets with the community organisers to hold focus groups. The Youth Club holds evaluations of all its activities and most of the courses and classes are monitored and evaluated at the end of each term. There is no harm flowing from these purposes.
