History of the group to-date
The Group was established to promote rural regeneration for the benefit of the public, to relieve poverty, unemployment, youth and the aged and promote the protection and preservation of health of and to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Ballinamallard and its hinterland without distinction of age, gender, sexuality, nationality, ethnic identity, disability, political or religious opinion. The Group applied for and was successful in achieving Charity Registration on the 11th March 2016 - Reg No NIC103230 The Group activities are now restored to normal and we are able to carry on our activities without the restriction of the last few years.
Accommodation Our official title is known as Ballinamallard Support Group in short, The Group. We still base ourselves at the above address, Femey Park, premises owned by Ballinamallard United FC. We meet on average about six times a year. We are very content with the location and arrangements at the Football Club and there is never a problem with us using the facilities. We share the building with three groups affiliated to us, the Mallard Flyers Cycling Club, the Fermanagh Stroke Association and a fitness group known as Brian Cleary Fitness Group. The Flyers meet regularly using the facilities at least twice a week, the Fitness Group meet three times a week however the Stroke Association use the facilities only about twice a year.
Main activities of the Group through-out the year
Our main activities are improving the facilities within the building we use at BUFC thereby maintaining a safe, comfortable warm and cosy environment within the building for all users and to provide Grant Aid when it becomes available to the community in which we live. This year we have managed to obtain a DAERA Rural Micro Grant for £1500 which replace the internal doors in the Club House. We also secured two Community Foundation Grants, one for £1876 which was used to supply iPads to the local primary school and £3150 which was used to provide home heating oil for the members of an OAP's Friday dining club which is based in the Archdale Hall, Ballinamallard. We feel, therefore that the main achievements of the Charity have been met and we can report that the Trustees have complied with their duties regarding the guidance issued by the Commission.
