There are opportunities to learn and reduce social isolation in our rural community and build community spirit and relations. 2. The advancement of education: The direct

These benefits will be demonstrated through increased numbers of residents attending the events organised by Dromore in Action and through post evaluation forms and/or a record of certificates received by members. The is no harm arising from either purpose. The charity's beneficiaries are the Inhabitants of the Dromore and its surrounding areas and district. In relation to both purposes, the only private benefit flowing from this purpose is the Association’s programme of ongoing training that a trustee may attend in relation to good governance, finance etc. Through this training trustees gain skills and expertise which are transferable to other settings. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
