Public benefits
The purpose of the group is to provide a weekly meeting place for parents/carers and pre-school children,offering appropriate play facilities and providing fun activities for the children. The public benefit flowing from the purpose is that parents and toddlers from Magherafelt and district have a place to meet. Children have an opportunity to
mix, play and develop skills and begin to understand social and life skills and creative activity. Parents/Carers also get to meet, discuss problems and generally socialise. The group is all inclusive, so children and parents/carers from all religions and ethnic minority backgrounds have an opportunity to meet, make new friends and learn both the local language and local culture. We have regular feedback sessions and evaluations with parents/carers. There is no private benefit or harm.
