Mission, Objectives and Strategy
Objectives
Ardmore Rural Community Association has been able. through part funding from SOAR I DARD to replace an cild
derelict redundant primary school with a new purpose-built Community Hall, officially opened on 29.08.2014.
The community hall facilitates regular youth groups, senior citizens groups, bowling club, health & fitness classes,
community social & celebratlon events. In addition, the hall is also used to facilitate communityl personal development
classes including Arts and crafts, flower arranging, health & safety, first aid, healthy & wellbeing, yoga, keep fitl sports,
all supporting the needs of the rural community. To supplement cosls for the various classes and social events which
we organise, we offer the opportunity for private hire of the Hall for partiesl functions, etc. We maintain and offer an
ideal facility for local r8sidents to meet and share with others in the community.
Review of Activities. Achlevements and Performance
The financial support of the community development grant from Amagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Council has baen
crucial to maintaining the work of Ardmore Rural Community Association. together with the Association's own
fundraising activities including the hire of the hall to meet the recurrent costs. This enabled ACRA to relain a sound
financial position during this year.
Ongoing activities during the year included yoga, art classes, bowling and Senior Citizens Group. Once again, ARCA
was very appreciative of some funding received though Loughshor8 Care Partnership {LCPI to support activities for th8
Senior Citizens Group. Th8se groups continue to provide a very necessary social outlet to address social isolation.
ARCA will continu8 to explore new ways in which we can reach out to the wider community and maximise the use of
Ardmore Community Hall.
There has been a significant increase in costs, particulady in relation to electricity, heating oil and insurance. The hall
incurred significant costs as a result of stomi Eowyn in January 2025 when there was an electric outage for 10 days,
resulting in a loss of income plus repairs to the heating boiler, alarm systems and some minor structural repairs. In order
to raise additional funds for the incoming year, a number of events have been planned, including Big Breakfast. car
boot sale and BBQ. While it is hoped that such 8V8rits will meet any shortfall in income Dver expenditure. the continuing
escalating costs are particularly challenging for small community groups.
The Draft accounts were presented to the AGM. The final accounts prepared by Daly Park Accountants will be shared
with the Committee and any queries arising will be addressed with accountants.
Annual monitoring reports were submitted to Ihe Charities Commission in line with requiremants.
Oncè again, I wish to thank all those who have willingly volunteered their time to organise and deliver events. support
fundraising, maintain the hall and the grounds and to the greater community who have helped and supported activities
throughout the year. Particularly, Roberta our Secr8tary, Ethel our Treasurer, and Anne who continues to r8pres8nt
ARCA on the Loughshore Care Partnership {LCPI Committee and organises the Senior group meetings.
