Glenlough Community Choir

Public benefits

The direct benefits are the enhancement of the mental, social and economic health of the local community, and the reduction in isolation of members of the local community. These benefits will be demonstrated through the number of members in the choir, the level of concerts in the local community each year, the completion of questionnaires to

evaluate rehearsals and performances, and ongoing feedback from the local community. There is no harm or possibility of harm from any of the purposes. The beneficiaries are firstly the members of the choir themselves, and secondly, the wider local community in the Carnlough and Glenarm areas. The choir must pay for certain services and goods, which are necessary for it to function. This could provide a private benefit to those supplying these services/goods, but this is necessary for the achievement of the purpose of the choir, and the costs are reasonable.
