Public benefits
The direct benefit is to advance citizenship and community development by providing unity throughout the community of the village of Lack, the greater Lack area and its environs. This will be done by the provision of a range of social, education and recreational activities which will be for all of the community. The groups currently working in
the community are either from the school, church or local woman’s group. This results in people who do not fall within these categories to be isolated and not to have a place within the community. Lack Community Group wishes to provide a place for those people within each of the existing groups to come together along with those who do not fall within the catchment of these existing groups (ie without any barriers in relation to whether their children attend the school (having or not having dependents) whether they go to church (religion), attend the local woman’s group (gender), attend the old age pensioners group (not dependent upon age) and also not dependent upon disability, marital status, ethnicity, sexual orientation, political opinion or other opinion (as in the Northern Ireland Act 1998 and noted within our purpose above). Lack Community Group’s key benefit is to provide unity throughout the village of Lack and the greater Lack area and its environs by uniting the entire community without any pre-requisites. This benefit will be evidenced through attendance records and feedback surveys of those attending the different activities. The beneficiaries of this purpose are the general public from the village of Lack, the greater Lack area and its environs. A private benefit flowing from this purpose is that the Trustees (as people from the local community) will obtain the same benefits as the other beneficiaries. There is no harm flowing from this purpose.
What your organisation does
As our group is in the process of being set up, we are unable to advise exactly what the activities will be (as of course these will largely be dependent upon the funding that will be made available to us through grants for local community groups) but we envisage that some of the activities will be an annual Christmas event, craft classes, coffee
mornings, exercise classes, farming courses etc
