Public benefits
The Trustees of Sarsfields Community Hall Management Group believe that all our purposes satisfy both elements of the public benefit requirement. Purpose: Relieve poverty, sickness and the aged. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include reduced rural and social isolation, improvement of the quality of life for those in need, improved
physical and increased mental health among those in need. These benefits are evidenced through attendance at activities such as at our community events, feedback from beneficiaries (individuals and clubs), feedback from agencies e.g. Loughshore Care Partnership, Craigavon Borough Council. This purpose does not give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries of this purpose are those living within the area of benefit i.e. Derrytrasna and District area of Co. Armagh who have been identified by themselves, family or the local community as suffering from financial hardship or disadvantage. There are no private benefits arising from this purpose. Purpose: Provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and other leisure time occupations with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include improvement of the quality of life for residents, increased visitors to the area, more active citizenship and volunteering, environmental improvements, greater pride in our area and sense of belonging. These benefits are evidenced through feedback from the local community and visitors to the area, utilisation of the hall facilities and a reported increase in participation in activities. This purpose does not give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries of this purpose are those living within the area of benefit i.e. Derrytrasna and District area of Co. Armagh. A private benefit to trustees may arise in terms of the family of trustees availing of the facilities through community activities or for leisure purposes. Facilities are assigned on an equal basis to all the community therefore trustees and their families are subject to the same procedures. The benefit is incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to all our beneficiaries. Purpose : Advance education. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include creation of new or enhanced skills, increased self-confidence, and increased access to training opportunities, increased uptake training or educational opportunities and a reduction in isolation. These benefits are evidenced through feedback from the local community, liaising with training providers and voluntary organisations. This purpose does not give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries of this purpose are those living within the area of benefit i.e. Derrytrasna and District area of Co. Armagh. A private benefit to trustees may arise from the trustee developing skills and experience through training/courses that may be transferrable to other settings. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries. Purpose: to maintain and manage Sarsfields Community Hall or to co-operate with any local statutory authority in the maintenance of such a Centre for activities promoted by the Association and its constituent bodies in furtherance of the above objects. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include the retention, maintenance and use of a vital community resource out of which community activity can be focussed. These benefits are evidenced through the number of hall users and user groups, feedback from users, statutory and voluntary agencies. This purpose does not give rise to any harm.

What your organisation does
We manage and run a range of activities and programmes for local residents from our community hall e.g. clubs, training courses, sports, dance, drama, community celebrations, health projects, environmental projects in order to fulfil our purposes. We work in partnership with a number of agencies such as SELB, Council, Loughshore Care Partnership,
South Lough Neagh Regeneration, local school and football club in order to maximise the use of our community premises. As our area is very rural and isolated, we feel it is vitally important that we make use of our resources for the benefit of all the community.
