Public benefits
The trustees believe that all of our stated purposes satisfy both elements of the public benefit statement. Within the opening paragraph of our objects there are two purposes: The direct benefits which flow from the first purpose include increased skills and knowledge, self-confidence and employability for the residence of Clonmore and the
surrounding areas. These benefits are evidenced through attendance and feedback forms, records of attainment of new skills and through certification of new skills. This purpose does not give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries of this purpose are inhabitants of Clonmore and the surrounding areas who wish to learn. A private benefit flowing from this purpose is that gained by tutors or third party providers of education that have been bought in to meet the beneficiaries need. The tutors are required to provide the purpose and the private gain is outweighed by the benefit to the beneficiaries. The direct benefits which flow from the second purpose include the creation of safe spaces for the use of the beneficiaries while undertaking a wide range of community and family activity, the regeneration of an isolated rural community and the bringing together of the community in shared community space. The benefit is evidenced through facility usage, booking forms and feedback from users. This purpose does not give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries are the inhabitants of the area and there is no private gain flowing from this activity. We also have a number of more specific purposes set out in our objects: The benefits flowing from purpose (a) are the same as the second purpose listed above. The purpose does not give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries are the local inhabitants, there is no private benefit flowing from this purpose. The benefits flowing from purpose (b) are improved transport links to from and within the Clonmore area for inhabitants with little or no access to private transport, specifically the youngest and oldest members of the community. The benefit is evidence through booking information and user feedback. The purpose does not give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries are local inhabitants with little or no access to public or private transport. There is a small private gain to the volunteer drivers by way of training given which may improve their employability however this is incidental and outweighed by the benefit to the beneficiaries. The direct benefits flowing from purpose (c) include the creation of safe access for the inhabitants of the Clonmore area to the Blackwater River for leisure and social activity. The benefit will be evidenced through feedback forms and user surveys. There is a risk of harm in increasing access to any water course, however the trustees will ensure that any improved access is only undertaken after a suitable risk assessment is carried out and suitably acted upon. The beneficiaries will be the inhabitants of the Clonmore area and visitor to the area who could undertake a range of leisure activities along the river once access is created. There may be a small private gain to landowners who gain improved access to their land holdings following the creation of improved access to the river. This would be incidental and outweighed by the public benefit. The direct benefits flowing from purpose (d) include a more cohesive, shared and integrated community for the people of Clonmore and the surrounding areas to inhabit. The beneficiaries are all the inhabitants of the area. The purpose does not give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries are the local inhabitants, there is no private benefit flowing from this purpose.
What your organisation does
Clonmore Regeneration Group currently owns, manages and maintains the recently redeveloped Clonmore Hall. A wide range of social and leisure activities take place in the Hall some of which are provided by us, some by third party providers and some by the beneficiaries themselves. This is the only community venue in the area and was officially
reopened in January 2015 with financial assistance from the Rural Development Programme. We also apply for event funding primarily through local council for community events. We have been successful in applications in 2021/22 from a range of funders to include Georges Earl fund, Daera, Community Foundation, Halifax, ABC council for covid response and recently Nationwide building society for support for women within the catchment. We mange the hall and its tenants in its usage to ensure a safe working /play /educating environment.
