Public benefits
The provision of play based education for children under statutory school age, in Donagh and its surrounding environs in County Fermanagh. The direct benefits, which flow from this purpose, include: improved play based learning outcomes for the children attending, plus opportunities for social integration and emotional well-being. Other
benefits include strong connections with parents/carers of the children attending playschool, and links to the wider community activity in the area. These benefits can be demonstrated by feedback received from parents, detailed observations carried out by staff daily, and by the inspections process carried out by the Education and Training Inspectorate, on behalf of WHSCT. The purpose of the playgroup is beneficial to both children and their families and there is no possibility of harm. The beneficiaries of this purpose are the children who attend this playgroup and their parents/carers. In the playgroup's case, the salaries paid to our three employees are clearly necessary in order to carryout the purposes. Any training provided to committee members e.g. in financial procedures, committee skills, child protection, first aid etc. is necessary to ensure high standards of governance for the playgroup and any benefits incurred are incidental.
