Public benefits

The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include: improved education in, and preservation of, local Ulster-Scots culture and heritage which brings about greater understanding and improved good / community relations. The group’s activities bring about improved education, training, health and well-being outcomes through local provision in

the community, and reduced levels of social isolation, stress and anxiety, through the promotion of culture, arts, heritage and Ulster Scots language, music and dance, recreation, education and training. These benefits are demonstrated through feedback from beneficiaries and attendees at our events, classes and activities using: evaluation forms, surveys, verbal feedback, and evaluation of our activities. There is no harm anticipated from this purpose. The charity’s beneficiaries are primarily the inhabitants of the Annahoe area and its surrounding environs within Dungannon & South Tyrone Borough Council area. A private benefit to Trustees may arise from our ongoing services and programmes of arts, cultural, educational, leisure and recreational activities: information, training, events, and networking visits. Through this, Trustees gain services, cultural awareness, leisure activities, information, skills, and experience which are transferable to other settings, and which may benefit their own community group or area. Our own Trustees receive information, services and activities in the same way as other beneficiaries, and are assigned support, information and services in the same ways as other beneficiaries. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.

What your organisation does

The group meets every week to raise educational awareness of local and Ulster-Scots history and culture, to mix socially and to raise funds for the group. The group socializes and meets with other similar groups in the local area, and the local district and beyond to network and share information. Guest Speakers come to the group to give talks and

information sessions on culture, arts, heritage and Ulster Scots language, music, dance and recreation for the benefit of all the community. The group also goes on an annual trip to promote local and Ulster-Scots history and culture which promotes well-being through networking and breaks down social isolation.
