Public benefits
The purpose of the Association is to relieve poverty, the aged and to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of the Glencolin Estate and surrounding area in the Andersonstown, to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and other leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions
of life for the said inhabitants. There are direct benefits which flow from this purpose. The quality of life for all sections of the community will be improved, promoted and developed by the provision of services aimed at tackling poverty related issues through the provision of training and education, health and community safety programmes. The community will become more secure, stable and sustainable through the provision of direct services based on identified need and provided in a safe, accessible environment. The physical transformation brought about by the Association’s involvement with the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, Belfast City Council and local forums on housing and environmental issues will improve the quality of life, security, stability and sustainability of the area. The work of the Association ensures that Glencolin residents are represented on all forums and agencies, bringing direct benefit to the community. These benefits are capable of being demonstrated by monitoring the number of people using our office and accessing our range of services, by monitoring the number of people accessing our housing, welfare advice and family support services provided, by the number of people attending planning and information days and becoming involved in the volunteering aspect of the project, by monitoring the number of people accessing our training and development programmes, by the production of monitoring and evaluation reports provided to funders on target outcomes and inputs and by general feedback from the local community. Regular progress reports are also circulated to the community using flyers, leaflets and information days. The beneficiaries of the Association include local residents of Glencolin and surrounding area, Northern Ireland Housing Executive tenants, residents seeking assistance and information on a range of issues, volunteers and families and children accessing seasonal activities. There is no harm arising from the purpose of the Association. There is no private benefit flowing from the purpose of the Association.
