Public benefits
The Direct Benefits flowing from the purposes are that residents from Mid Ulster, particularly women learn more about community development and how they can become actively involved in influencing agencies to enhance the lives of their families, their friends, their neighbours and the community at large. These beneficiaries also gain a benefit
from learning from influential women within the community, how to look after their own health, how to speak out and how to encourage others to learn, to come together, to network thereby reducing loneliness and isolation and having a positive impact on both physical and mental health. A further benefit flowing from the purpose 3.2 is that women from Mid Ulster particularly those who live in rural isolated communities will get a sense of equality by attending our activities and by realising that they are not alone but that they are equal to all other women in Northern Ireland. Our activities also ensure that women from Section 75 groupings and women from Ethnic Minority backgrounds to include women who are recent residents of Mid Ulster are made to feel welcome and to share their own history, knowledge, struggles and experiences with women who have lived in Mid Ulster all of their lives. This would increase everyone’s feeling of equality and encourage all women to accept a diverse multi-cultural and even multi-lingual society. The benefits would be identified by feedback from each event that we organise. It will also be identified by evaluation sheets which beneficiaries of our activities will be asked to complete. It will be identified by the numbers attending our activities and also by the numbers of people from diverse cultures and backgrounds who join with us and participate in our activities. There is no harm arising from any of our purposes. Who are the Charity Beneficiaries? Mid Ulster is a rural district with many of our local women living in isolated farms with little opportunity to come together to share their lives and experiences. We believe that Mid Ulster women given the opportunity will begin to better understand what they have to offer their own communities. They will also come to recognise the need to feel equal, that they are not just housewives but that they can become active citizens involved in helping their own community to advance and prosper. Importantly new arrivals in our community who often have language difficulties and feel friendless and alone will be welcomed into Mid Ulster Network and encouraged both to learn from local women while at the same time local women will benefit from the teaching that we expect to come about equality and particularly about diversity, about ethnicity and about humanity. There is no private benefit flowing from any of our purposes.

The organisation carries out its purposes by organising meetings, talks, health fairs and activities around the theme of how to develop themselves and their communities. These meetings are both recreational and educational. We hold one major conference each year to promote ‘International Women’s Day’ where prominent local women who play vital
roles within their own communities are invited to come along to talk to the women.
