Public benefits

Drumquin Community Youth Centre has four stated Purposes. The benefits flowing from each distinct Purpose are as follows: 1. Benefits flowing from our Purpose of providing facilities: Our Centre acts as a "Community Hub", facilitating social, educational, and recreational activities. The main benefits are improved Quality Of Life; improved health

and fitness; increased social and community interaction and togetherness in a welcoming setting. 2. Benefits flowing from our Purpose of facilitating educational classes and workshops: local people have raised their educational levels, and have increased awareness of and enjoyment in lifelong learning, with the increased confidence that this brings. 3. Benefits flowing from our Purpose of encouraging community service and community involvement: improved social and community interaction, for example through encouraging volunteering. 4. Benefits flowing from our Purpose of promoting tolerance and understanding: cross-community peace and reconciliation in our locality. The benefits identified above can be demonstrated by the continuous longevity of our Organisation. We have records going back c. 44 years, of Youth Club Membership; Organisations we have hosted, and indeed assisted in getting off the ground; Stage productions we have hosted; volunteers we have accepted; and local people whom we have employed. all of these factors and more have contributed to the quality of Life in Drumquin. There are no harms flowing from our Purposes. Primarily the youth of the Drumquin area; and also the wider community. There are no private benefits.
