STRucfuRE. GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The organisation is an unincorporated registered charity, governed by its constitution. Mallusk
Community Artion Group IMCAGI have a management committee elected by local resldents at the
annual general meetlng. The commlttee meets monthly.
CHARITABLE OBJEcfivES
MCAG was formed in 2008 In response to residents, concerns around the envlronmental damage,
road safety, village cleanliness, anti-50cial behavior, and absence of community facilities in the
Village. Mallusk had suffered from the effects of the Landfill site in the village and the increased
industrialization of the area.
Key objectives are:
Creating a sense of community
Havlng clean and safe road5 for visitors and re5ident5
Implementing a Village Improvement Scheme and a Heritage Program
Put in place the infrastructure to improve community cohesion and establish a community
meeting facility for events and activitie5

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFFORMANCE
MCAG has established a community base at the Academy Sports Club premises with a long-term
lease and lobbied successfully and secured grants for a range of environmental irnprovements in the
Village.
MCAG produce 3 quarterly newsletter and circulate to 800 households. The quarterly newsletter
helps all within the vi I lage keep track of what is happening in the area with updates regarding local
various club news i ncluding Football, Runnlng. Keep-ftt. Badminton etc. Regula r village clean ups
and litter picks are held, which also become a social event within the area. Quiz night5 are held.
The annual Christmas tree light switch on event is held with a visit from Santa as well as a party for
all to include music and dancing along with ref reshments.
MCAG have strongly supported the NOARC21 group, fighting the building of an incinerator close by
and have won several high COLJrt battles. We remain in close contact with management of the
nearby landfill site as well as council, monitoring the road and path cleanliness as well a5 Potential
odour issue5. We have made the acquaintance of the new environmental officer from NIEA due to
previous incumbent has now moved to a different department,
MCAG joined an Incentive to highlight speed through the local vlllage. MCAG have a speed indicator
device, situated within the vlllage which is looked after and maintained by committee members who
also submit the data downloaded *rom it.
Extensive enlargement to local quarry Is being objected to due to feared increase in blastlng, dust,
noise etc. affecting the local area as well as prolonged & heavy road use caused from it.
There are several proposed planning applications in the village for substantial housing estates and
MCAG continue to monitor and meet with the developer5 to try to ensure best outcomes for both
existlng and potential residents. Some of these plans are now beln8 erected with more to come.
The work and lobbylng done as stated above helps our core values of trylng to make the village of
Mallusk a healthler, safer and cleaner and more pleasant place to live and bring up our children as
well as putting on variou5 events to help brlng the community together. We work with and support
the various churche5, play groups and Integrated primary school within the village. The
transformation of the primary school to integrated status has been a h uge success with 110 puplls
now attending,
Talks are ongoing with regard to trying to identify more funding opportunities with regard to
extending the community hub as more space is needed to cope with extra usage.
Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the charity commission on public benefit.
