Public benefits
The public benefits that flow from the purpose of urban regeneration are: (I) the creation of employment, training and work experience opportunities for individuals living in economically and socially deprived areas and consequently a reduction in unemployment, poverty and hardship, leading to a better quality of life for the beneficiaries; (ii)
increased levels of knowledge and transferable vocational skills of those employees/work experience trainees that are taken on; (iii) the return to use of previously unoccupied or derelict buildings available to all members within the local Newry community and surrounding area. These benefits are evidenced through records maintained by various agencies of the number of jobs and work experience opportunities created together with the numbers of those who have successfully completed training courses. Evidence of the benefit is also available from feedback obtained from the local business community as well as the general public further to the transformation of former derelict properties that had previously fallen into extremely poor states of disrepair. Some private benefit has been obtained due to the skills and experience obtained as a result of the management of the various projects undertaken over the years. These benefits are considered to be incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
What your organisation does
The charity previously facilitated the provision of theoretical and practical educational and training course in accordance with the government's ACE Training Scheme. In accordance with this scheme, individuals who had been long term unemployed could sign up to a training scheme programme delivered by qualified instructors with a view to enhancing
their skill set for the purpose of obtaining gainful employment. In addition, over the years the charity has been involved in a number of projects concerned with the regeneration of former derelict buildings and sites within the greater Newry area which have resulted in the immediate surrounding areas falling into considerable disrepair.
