Public benefits

The public benefit flowing from our purpose is to bring our community together. It will encourage those disadvantaged by rural isolation, poor public transport and any form of disability, physical, emotional or mental to feel they are included. Local people will be encouraged to do things for themselves, to become involved in community life. It

will grow their self confidence, improve their social skills and give them an opportunity to participate more fully. It will improve their mental health, reduce fear of isolation, decrease loneliness and create a more vibrant, active, fit and healthy community. The public benefit can be demonstrated through more local people being involved in community activity, increase access to health and well-being programmes. This will be evidenced through feedback and regular evaluation of our activities. There is no harm emanating from any of our activities and there will be no private benefit.

What your organisation does

The organisation was formed to develop activities based in the community in order to cater for people in the social isolated area in which we live. Currently we develop activities to encourage people, particularly older people, into social, leisure, recreational and informal educational activity. Presently crochet classes are ongoing. We

organised a very successful Christmas Party for the senior citizens at which the young people of our community provided the entertainment. We also invited people with learning disabilities from our local area. Because of the success of it we are intending to continue similar type activities again in June. Over the autumn and winter, we are introducing Dance and Reminisce, card games, keep fit and indoor bowling these will provide additional improved health and well-being outcomes and will reduce disadvantage and isolation for local people.
