Public benefits

The benefits which flow from the purpose include reducing rural isolation among residents, enabling residents to develop supportive social networks, supporting residents to develop new knowledge and skills and providing opportunities to enjoy local facilities, improve social cohesion and maintain positive mental and physical health. These benefits

will be evidence through word-of-mouth and other means of feedback such as online polls in social media, completing surveys, and comments/conversations with local residents including suggestions for future activities and events. In carrying out events and activities including providing facilities for sport, there is always a risk to participants however, we ensure appropriate policies and training for activity leaders and volunteers that maintain safe standards which ensure the benefits outweigh and mitigate risks. The organisations beneficiaries include local residents across three boroughs for all age groups from under fives to over 65 years old irrespective of age, gender, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, etc. A private benefit stemming from our activities includes stall holders gaining a wider customer base and activity leaders/groups broadening their audience profile. However, this is incidental but necessary to the success and growth of the organisation's purpose.
