The primary beneficiaries of our work are people of all ages and abilities within the Cullyhanna and surrounding rural hinterland. The private benefit that may flow from all our purposes on occasions the trustees may provide services and receive remuneration for their services in their area of expertise as opposed to employing outside organisations which can be expensive. We believe this is value for money and aligns to the principles of community development. This is necessary for us to provide flexible services to the users and the private benefits are outweighed by the benefits to the public. The incidental benefits that flow from all our purposes is where (a) Trustees and volunteers receive training in terms of governance and fundraising.
