There is no harm arising from any of the purposes of Killesher Community Development Association. The Charity's beneficiaries include all members of the local community living within the parish of Killesher and surrounding areas. The only private benefit flowing from any of the purposes is that Killesher Community Development Association Trustees and their families can avail of the facilities and services activities provided and participate in any of the projects and activities that take place. This is entirely incidental and necessary to ensure that all members of the parish of Killesher have equal opportunity to benefit from the purposes of the organisation.
