Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from this purpose are development of skills and self confidence among members; better able to form relationships with other young people and responsible adults; better communication with others; increased well being, physical fitness and stamina through the boxing club; through the various sports activities of karate,
football, dance, badminton and boxing members are engaging in healthy fitness activities which promotes their physical health and mental well being; through the personal development courses young people are better able to critically evaluate themselves and the world around them. Engagement with politicians at discussion forums enables young people to gain an insight into how decisions are made and encourages them to hold politicians to account and highlights their citizenship responsibilities. The recent football & boxing tournaments helped increase community spirit among young people and stimulated a healthy community rivalry. Beneficiaries returning as volunteers to help young people in the club in a leadership capacity will enhance their UCAS personal statements for University admission by demonstrating they have empathy and a spirit of reaching out to others; employment prospects are increased as is their self esteem. These benefits are evidenced through: evaluation of the programmes; chatting with the young people and attendance at events/programmes; DENI Inspection reports closely evaluates the outcomes of the work by consulting with the young people themselves about the value of the Youth work being offered. In a recent Department Youth inspection report the Club received a very good standard classification. Risk: There is a risk element to the sport of boxing where a boxer could sustain a knockout or head or eye injuries. If this happens the fight is stopped. As we are affiliated to the IABA the rules governing boxing are very strictly observed by qualified coaches and referees in order that boxers are afforded all necessary protection. We are insured for all boxing activities through the IABA. Other sports are risk assessed and health and safety procedures are in place. The beneficiaries of this purpose are young people aged 5-25 living in Omagh and the surrounding areas and their families. A private benefit may arise if a trustee is employed on a part time basis for the club. In this case if a conflict of interest arises they are asked to step out of the discussion. A private benefit may also arise for trustees who partake of training offered by the Club. However the training is only for our Youth Leaders and Club members so sitting on the committee offers no advantage to the youth leader. The training may also enhance the skills and employment prospects of the trustee. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
What your organisation does
Omagh Youth & Community Trust at the Station Centre provides facilities for the entire community of Omagh irrespective of age, gender, religion or class to participate in programmes of educational, social, recreational and community activities which help develop their physical health and emotional well being. The Station Centre is built on the
site of Omagh Railway Station which served all of Omagh’s citizens and was an important link to the outside world of opportunity and challenge. Symbolically Omagh Youth & Community Trust sees all those who enter the building as being on a journey of personal development and realisation. They are not asked where they come from but the aspiration is that all those who seek help reach a destination of self worth and self realisation which will be positive for themselves and for society locally.
