Charitable purposes
The Association is established to provide basic social amenities for the personal and communal development of all the inhabitants of the Lagmore area, Dunmurry, County Antrim. In an area which has been rapidly developed without provision of any social amenity whatsoever we strongly feel the need to establish a sense of community and to foster local responsibility and we wish to do so by 3.1 maintaining and managing a centre at Lagmore Drive, Dunmurry, County Antrim for activities promoted by the Association (hereinafter called “the Centre”).
