Public benefits
Wider community engagement and facilitation on the linguistic and cultural wealth of the greater Ballycastle region; educational advancement for youth; lifelong learning opportunities; creation of new and customised community space; The school that we founded, Gaelscoil an Chaistil, has gone from strength to strength. The benefits of Gaelic medium
education are demonstrated by the demand for the continuation of the service provided in this local area seen through increasing enrolment year on year. The benefits are evidenced through the children’s developmental progress, parental feedback at our parent meetings and during informal daily chats with staff. Discussions with past pupils about our work with them and it impact that it has had on their lives have been very positive. Indeed we work in conjunction with Gaelscoil an Chaistil and with Cross and Passion College to empower young adults to volunteer at the primary school and continue to enhance and own their own Gaelic fluency and positive community and civil engagement. There is no harm arising from the purposes of the organisation. All staff and volunteer members are vetted. Our primary beneficiaries are the local community as a whole – ie. The families who attend the Gaelic medium school that we established; the children who attend our summer schemes; the past pupils who continue to attend events run after school and during the summer. Other beneficiaries are local people who take up training and/or employment with us. There is no private benefit. Minimal fees are charged for activities that we arrange and directors do not take dividends - all generated funds are re-invested into the activities of the organistaion.
