Martial Fitness NI

Public benefits

The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include: provision of a Club and facilities for local people to learn martial arts and improve health, wellbeing and fitness. This promotes education, health and well-being outcomes, reduces levels of social isolation; and increases: socializing, cooperation, good/community relations, skills, and

confidence which will improve circumstances and opportunities of local people. These benefits are demonstrated through feedback from people attending the Club and families of beneficiaries and attendees at our Club, meetings, events, classes, and activities using: evaluation forms, surveys, verbal feedback, and reports and evaluations of our services and activities. In providing a local point of social contact and activities for the community benefit there is no possibility of harm out weighing the benefit - there is no harm arising from any of the purposes. All Trainers are fully trained in Safety, First Aid and POCVA etc. The charity’s beneficiaries are primarily local people of all ages including young people and children from the Coalisland and surrounding areas of Mid Ulster District and beyond, and their families. A private benefit to Trustees may arise from our ongoing Club provision, services and programmes of information, classes and activities. Through this, Trustees gain services, activities, information, skills, and experience which are transferable to other settings, and which may benefit their own community group or area. Our own Trustees receive information, services and activities in the same way as other beneficiaries, and are assigned activities, support, information and services in the same ways as other beneficiaries. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
