Public benefits

The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include: improved health and well-being outcomes especially for local children and young people, reduced levels of social isolation, stress and anxiety, increased recreation, skills, socializing, cooperation, networking and confidence which will improve circumstances and opportunities via public and

accessible youth facilities in the Torrent Centre. These benefits are demonstrated through feedback from beneficiaries and attendees at our events and activities using: evaluation forms, surveys, verbal feedback, and evaluation of our activities. There is no harm anticipated from this purpose. The club’s beneficiaries are primarily local children and young people living in and around the Torrent area and its environs, within Dungannon and South Tyrone Borough area of Mid Ulster. A private benefit to Trustees may arise from our ongoing services and programmes of recreation, sport, leisure and activities: information, training, events and networking. Through this, Trustees gain access to services, sports activities, leisure activities, information, skills, and experience which are transferable to other settings, and which may benefit their own community group or area. Our own Trustees receive information, services and activities in the same way as other beneficiaries, and are assigned support, information and services in the same ways as other beneficiaries. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
