These benefits can be evidenced through monitoring records kept by the Trust and other agencies and organisations with regard to the progress of those participating in training and the creation of employment opportunities; records kept of attendance at, or participation in, recreational, cultural, and social events and activities; feedback from the beneficiaries, independent and internal evaluations and reports of the work and impact of the Trust and of the groups and organisations assisted by the Trust; and the findings of community surveys. No harm arises from any of these purposes. The beneficiaries of all three purposes are the general public. Some private benefit is obtained by the owners of small businesses who rent units on favourable terms, but this is ancillary to the main purpose.

The criteria used to determine that the Glenelly area is in need of regeneration is supported by the NISRA 2017 statistics which ranks the Plumbridge Super Output area as 1 out of 890 SOA’s in Northern Ireland placing it the worst in terms of access to services deprivation. This is mainly due to the lack of public services and very poor broadband
and mobile phone services in the area. There is a very limited public transport service with only one bus leaving Plumbridge village in the morning going to Omagh and returning in the evening. There is one other bus service called the ‘Sperrin Rambler’ which runs once a day on weekdays from Omagh through Plumbridge onto Magherafelt.
