The direct benefits are the provision of a cross community, accessible, rural Community Centre where everyone in the local community feels welcome and which brings local residents together. Benefit flows from enjoyment and learning gained from social, community and educational activities. There is direct benefit to the inhabitants of Eglinton

Sign in sheets are kept for classes and also surveys and questionnaires are used to evaluate benefits. Photographic documentation, audited accounts, annual report and reports to funders all provide evidence of the benefit to residents of Eglinton. While some risk is part of any sporting or physical activity all coaches are trained, first aid training is provided and there is appropriate public liability insurance in place for Eglinton Community Centre. The risk is greatly outweighed by the health, physical and social benefits of the organisation's purposes. The beneficiaries are the inhabitants of Eglinton, County Londonderry and its surrounding district without distinction of sex, age, race, nationality, colour, ethnic origin, or political or religious opinion. The private benefit is incidental and necessary as staff are employed to maintain and manage Eglinton Community Hall and those staff help and support the beneficiaries in the local community to access all activities.
