## Activities

**Activities:** 'It carries out activities or services itself'

**Purposes:** 'the provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended'

**What the charity does:** The charity is there to provide facilities for recreation and life enhancement. As the premises we now have control of are derelict (and there is no public building in the area), we are raising funds to demolish them and build a new, sustainable community hub, complete with external play area. We hold outside events for the benefit of the surrounding community, which also help us raise funds. We have made all those in authority aware of our situation (local council, councillors, MSPs, MPs) and are busy applying for grants. We meet stakeholders to ensure we are up to date with needs and have helped with a recent community survey. We have set up a website telling our story and have a presence on social media. We hold a minimum of one meeting a month to report back and agree actions.

**Objectives:** To provide facilities for such forms of recreation and other leisure-time occupation as are conducive to the improvement of the conditions of living of the inhabitants of Waterside and the neighbourhood thereof within the Society’s sphere of operations as defined from time to time and in particular (but not exclusively) such of the inhabitants as are members of the Mining Community provided that nothing herein contained shall authorise the application of the Property to purposes which are not in law charitable.
