Public benefits
The benefits flowing from the purposes of Granaghan & District Women’s Group are that local women in a rural area have a venue where they can meet and socialise. A further benefit is that these women can access all sorts of classes and courses of both educational and recreational content. Benefits are demonstrated by the numbers of people
attending each activity. Beneficiaries are regularly asked to complete the evaluation of the activities at the end of courses. The management committee also measure the success and the benefits of their activities by face to face interviews with participants and tutors. There is no harm flowing from the purposes of Granaghan Women’s Group. The beneficiaries are a large number of local families offering women the opportunity to meet, congregate and socialise in a secure cross community venue thus, ensuring they are not socially isolated but that they have the chance to become more fulfilled both as individuals and as members of the Granaghan community. There is no private benefit except for fees paid to tutors which is necessary for the successful work of the group.
