Public benefits
The charity trustees (club committee) are satisfied that the Public Benefit requirement is met; The direct benefits flowing from the purposes include improved physical fitness, education and social development of young people from 9yrs to 13yrs within West Belfast achieved through healthy participation in sports and football. Further, the benefits
include an awareness of health through workshops, active engagement in football training programmes, an experience of teamwork and skills, improved opportunities to participate in local, national and international competition. The benefits can be demonstrated through physical fitness and skills tests or assessments, the gaining by volunteer coaches of professional accredited qualifications, measured levels of physical activity and overall feedback on improvements within the local community. Any harm which may arise – such as the risk of sports injury – is outweighed by the overall health benefits and any private benefits – such as the gaining of qualifications by coaches – is incidental or necessary to our fulfilment of the purposes.
What your organisation does
We do this through increasing the levels of participation in football, increasing the levels of physical activity in order to help prevent early onset of illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. It helps to improve emotional wellbeing in young people and allows them to divert their energies into the positive activity of sport rather
than engaging in anti-social behaviour. We work in partnership with other organisations to increase opportunities for participants.
