Public benefits
In the case of the alleviation of poverty, community residents benefit from education and training opportunities and experiences. The association also collaborates with statutory and voluntary organisations to address the pressing material needs of the community which at times has included the practical benefits of arranging food bank
deliveries. In the case of the promotion of good relations, the youth benefit from regular youth club sessions, good relations programmes and cross-community activities which help to reduce tensions all facilitated by the association. They have access to programmes which give certificates and qualifications that will help them in their future. The community residents benefit from community development trainings organised by the association. Residents are supported to initiate their own groups like the woman's group. The association works to build relations with the neighbouring community partnership regarding the interface which benefits both communities and improves quality of life for all. In the case of the development of the centre and outdoor environs for the benefit of the local community, the association maintains the building and site so that all activities can be carried out and so that the community has a centre to benefit from. The centre currently has one space which is always booked and so to facilitate more opportunities the community wants and needs, the association is now working towards developing the garage space into a second room. The provision of the indoor hall and the grounds has immeasurable benefits to the community who are able to attend activities, meetings and programmes. The endeavours to alleviate poverty can be demonstrated through the support organised during the pandemic to assist residents with food packages, it can also be demonstrated by the contact with housing executive and council, calling upon them to clear the moss from the pavements and maintain the open spaces within the community. It can be seen through the associations effort to bring education and training programmes into the community that would assist residents to develop employability skills. The efforts to promote good relations can be seen through three years on the Common Ground steering group, and hosting the Open Ground Project, both focused on the Currynierin/Tullyally interface. The association has participated in multiple cross-community trips and co-design processes to build a vision for the future of this interface. The association has been solely responsible for the centre and its grounds and has sought the funding for any and all maintenance and bills. No The residents of Currynierin. No
