Pakenham Community Limited

3. The objects for which the Organisation is established are:- a. We promote fitness and improve the general health and wellbeing both physical and mental health through participation in team games through providing a safe, comfortable, supervised environment. b. We provide public benefit through increasing skills of users through activities and services. Especially amongst children and young people, volunteers work on improving fundamental movements skills such as hand eye co-ordination, mobility, throwing, catching, ball control, running and jumping which can all be transferred to different sports and tasks. Throughout all ages, our volunteers aim to develop an overarching ethos of respect, teamwork and dedication which all contribute to the psychological and social development of users. The learning and improvement of these skills breeds confidence, especially for children and young people who will continue an active lifestyle. The skills are transferable and can be applied in other sporting, social, educational or economic settings later in life. c. We seek to use sport, specifically association football, and community programs to engage users from deprived social and economic backgrounds within Antrim & Newtownabbey Council District. Sport will act as an alternative to negative or criminal pursuits, particularly amongst children aged between 5 -17 years old. This also includes the provision of education and training that will improve attitudes, gain qualification and provide pathways into employment or society. purpose d. We provide a public benefit through promoting equality and diversity, as well as promoting religious and racial harmony throughout all our activities; this achieved through bringing users together through the common interest of association football, in a safe, comfortable environment. Through breaking down these barrier and changing perceptions we are benefitting the wider community through an acceptance of all cultures and religions.
