## **Burnfoot Community Development Association delivers charity activities to ensure public benefit** 

## **Who uses and benefits from our service?** 

## Older People and People with Disabilities 

We currently have 30 older people who participate in a variety of activities including art and crafts, fitness classes and pamper sessions. They also attend a monthly luncheon club. Our centre accommodates people with disabilities. 

## Young People 

Local young people take part in our annual Summer Scheme which takes place in July. We usually have over 50 youth taking part in activities, trips and programmes. 

## Adults 

We run monthly classes to bring together the entire community. These have included nutrition classes, gardening workshops and fitness classes (Yoga, Boxercise and Dancing). We host craft classes like flower arranging and other seasonal crafts. 

## Families 

Local families are benefiting from our childcare provision through our community playgroup. Parents can take part in activities and programmes. We host multiple Family Fun Days with activities for all ages. 

## Children 

Our Association provides pre-school activities daily. We currently have 14 pre-school children. We run classes specifically for children such as Jumping Clay and Build a Bear and we hope to run more of these. 

## Volunteers 

The charity is reliant on voluntary help, we have 20 core volunteers from the local community who assist with our classes, childcare provision, summer scheme, opening and closing the centre, cleaning and the committee. Without our volunteers we would be unable to run many of our services, therefore we are very grateful. We would like to thank them for their loyal service. 

Our group actively sources funding and submits applications on a regular basis. We continue to work in partnership with Gortnaghey Community Association. 

Our charity has no private gain in relation to our activities and programmes, we are a charitable organisation. Additionally, there is no harm in terms of our provisions.
