Cumann Chluain Árd

Public benefits

Direct benefits: (1) Free learning opportunities are made available for people in deprived areas (2) Improvement in the work skills and employability of members (3) Opportunities for members to gain a deeper knowledge of their cultural heritage (4) increased literacy, confidence and communication capabilities amongst the members Our benefits

could be demonstrated through surveying our members. It could be demonstrated that many of them come from disadvantaged areas though analysing postcodes against NISRA's Multiple Deprivation Measures. Skills gained through language learning could be demonstrated by testing learners on what they have leaned. Their increased knowledge of Irish culture heritage is demonstrated though conversation with participants. Many of our learners go on to do GCSEs, A-Levels, Undergrad Diplomas and Degrees after spending some time in the Cumann learning, and being encouraged by the staff there to pursue qualifications in the languages. Exact figures could be easily collected among our membership. No harms arise from our purposes. No fees are charged, our services are free to all, none of our teachers or staff are payed and none of students are charged a penny. We get by on donations from members who can afford it. (1) Deiseanna foghlama saor in aisce a chur ar fáil do dhaoine i gceantracha bochta. (2) cur le scileanna oibre agus le hionfhostaitheacht na mball. (3) 3) deis a thabhairt do dhaoine eolas nios doimhne a chur ar a n-oidhreacht chultúrtha. (4) (4) litearthacht, muinín agus cumas cumarsáide na mball a mhéadú. Thiocfadh na sochair a bhaineann leis an Chumann a léiriú ach suirbhé a dhéanamh i measc na mball. Thiocfadh a léiriú go mbaineann cuid mhór acu le ceantracha faoi mhíbhuntáiste dá ndéanfaí anailís ar a gcuid cód poist leis an Multiple Deprivation Measure Tool ag NISRA. Thiocfadh scileanna a shealbhaítear trí fhoghlaim teanga a léiriú ach scrúdú a chur ar bhaill fán méid atá foghlamtha acu. Aithnítear an t-eolas méadaithe atá acu ar oidhreacht chultúrtha na hÉireann i gcomhrá le rannpháirtithe. Théid cuid mhór d’ár gcuid foghlaimeoirí ar aghaidh le TGMOanna, A-Leibhéil, Dioplómaí Fochéime, agus Céimeanna a dhéanamh, i ndiaidh tamall a chaitheamh i mbun foghlama sa Chumann, áit a spreagann an fhoireann iad le gabháil sa tóir ar cháilíochtaí sa teanga. Thiocfadfh uimhreacha beachta a fháil go furast ón bhallraíocht. Ní eascraíonn dochar ar bith ónar gcuid aidhmeanna. Ní ghearrtar táillí ar bith. Tá na seirbhísí s’againn saor in aisce do gach duine. Ní íoctar múinteoir nó ball ar bith foirne agus ní ghearrtar pingin ar fhoghlaimeoir ar bith. Tá muid beo ar dheonacháin ó bhaill a bhfuil an t-airgead acu le tabhairt.
