The charity will work with children and vulnerable people. There is a potential for harm to occur with this group. However the charity has adopted the safeguarding policies and procedures of Methodist Church in Ireland and will ensure appropriate vetting of volunteers. The charity will also liaise with social services in supporting vulnerable people. There is a risk of injury during craft classes which will be mitigated by conducting risk assessments for all activities promoted. The charity’s beneficiaries are residents of the Ballinamallard and Trillick area, including Primary School children, young people aged 16 and over, disabled people, older people, sick and convalescent people, families, parents, entrepreneurs and job-seekers. The hub offers facilities for the use of the whole community. It is feasible that a trustee may access some of these services but will not have any advantage over any member of the public. This is purely incidental. Trustees will benefit from engagement on the charity committee, gaining skills and experience which may benefit other voluntary engagement. Trustees will receive information about new programmes and activities in the same way as other beneficiaries and will be equally encouraged to engage. These benefits are incidental and necessary.
