Trustees, Annual Report for the year ended 30 September 2018
The Trustees of Banbridge Special Olympics Club provide their Annual report and
Accounts for the year ending September 2018 and confirm that they have referred to
the Commissions Public Benefit statutory requirements to ensure that the activities
have fulfilled the charity's public benefit requirement statement.
As per the Constitution of Banbridge Special Olympics Club dated 16 November
2011, Banbridge Special Olympics Club aims to provide a safe environment for
athletes and volunteers to participate in activities by providing year-round training
opportunities and to assist athletes to improve their skills with a view to attending
Special Olympics Competitions.
The direct benefits include athletes and volunteers developing a better sense of
involvement in their communities and fonning relationships and friendships outside
of their nomal social CiFvies tPTrredgh parlicipating in sport, equality of oppG,ttunitie8-to-
participate in sports activities for people with intellectual disabilities, improved
physical and mental health from participating regulady in sport, improved quality of
life through enhanced self-esteem, social skills and greater social awareness.
Because of more people participating in amateur sport, the sports themselves will
develop and grow in the wider community.
These benefits are demonstrated through volunteers communicating with athletes
and their families on a regular basis and feeding back any notable comments to the
committee. We have qualified coaches leading the sporting activities and many
volunteers trained with relevant qualifications. These benefits are incidental and
necessary to ensure that the club is well run and meet minimum operating standards
as set out by Special Olympics Ireland.
