Public benefits
1. The advancement of citizenship or community development: The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include giving older people from Aghaderg the opportunity to meet on a monthly basis with additional activities organised throughout the year. Activities are provided for those over 55 years to learn and reduce social isolation in our rural
community and build community spirit and relations. These benefits will be demonstrated through retention and increase of numbers of people attending the activities organised by The Aghaderg Circle of Friends. 2. The advancement of education: The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include keeping older people informed. With people increasing their knowledge, they will be able to make informed choices with regards to their lives and widen their skills and knowledge in various areas. These benefits will be demonstrated through post evaluation forms completed by the members. None of the purposes will lead to harm. For both of the purposes, the charity’s beneficiaries are people living in Aghaderg, Co Down. In relation to the two purposes, the only private benefit flowing from this purpose is the group’s programme of ongoing training that a trustee may attend in relation to good governance, finance etc. Through this training, trustees gain skills and expertise which are transferable to other settings. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
