These benefits shall be evidenced in the attendance registers from health and well-being events and initiatives for target beneficiaries including those delivered through engagement with local groups and organisations; the membership of local amateur sports and social clubs and organisations; community health and well-being consultation and surveys questionnaires; the number of initiatives and attendees resulting from joint initiatives between individuals and groups from different backgrounds. Some private benefit is gained by the owners of the facility that shall be re-developed by the charity to be used in the provision of the health and well-being activities and by individuals or organisations who may, on an occasional basis, be employed to deliver specific health and well-being initiatives, but these are ancillary to the main purpose, shall be secured though a long-term lease and are outweighed by the benefit.
