Public benefits

Two of the main benefits of our club are improving mental health of those involved, and the cross-community spirit. Many of those involved with our club over the years can attest to the positive impact on their mental health that being involved in the club has had. As well as that, it provides a crucial support network when anyone involved in the

club needs to talk. Regarding cross-community involvement, both now and throughout the club's long history we have had many Protestants and Catholics involved in the club alongside each other in all areas, from supporting the club, playing, and as office bearers. We believe this positive relationship within the club is key to developing a shared community away from the club. N/A Local people in a rural area, specifically those with an interest in football. No private benefit to any individuals. Any benefits, financial or otherwise, are put towards the betterment of the club.

What your organisation does

We are developing a community based football club, through running two men's football teams, from a footballing perspective with training sessions and matches, but also away from football running community events and working alongside other community groups. Involvement in the club is open to everyone from the area, whether on or off the football

pitch in whatever way they wish to get involved.
