| Recipient Org: Description | Applicant: Rosemount & District Welfare Rights Group / Grant ref no: A546193 we applied for funding and were told that we were not awarded funding because the project works with residents of all ages and therefore does not fully meet this fund's priorities of older people. The project plan was also not clear and did not fully demonstrate value for money. We do as a community centre work with residents of all ages, however, this project is specific to two groups and how we at our community centre can service our elderly group at this time: • CNOC NA ROS MEN'S CLUB • OUR OLDER GENERATION WOMENS CLUB. Both groups have membership of 150 members and age range of 60-94 years. In the Foyleside DEA each of our partners (Pennyburn Youth Club, Glen Development Initiative, Ballymagroarty, Hazelbank Community Partnership, Rosemount & District Welfare Rights Group) all have similar isolated and vulnerable groups. This programme will accommodate total of 50 residents from all areas. The project plan will be clear and demonstrate value for money. Aims Rosemount Resource Centre is a community development, community based organisation based in a Neighbourhood Renewal area. Our organisation addresses the needs of, provides services to and caters for all sectors of our community, from birth to death, complying with section 75 requirements. (see services below). We provide physical, professional and administrative support to all our beneficiaries and all target groups catered for by our network of services and projects. Objectives The Group is established for the benefit of the community in Northern Ireland by the advancement of education and the relief of poverty, sickness and distress and any other charitable purpose and in particular, to provide in Rosemount and surrounding district in County Derry legal services, and welfare rights information to people, who because of their lack of means, could not otherwise afford such services. Mission Statement The group is established for the benefit of the community by the provision of education, training, services, advice, support and resources through the development of community infrastructure, encouraging acceptance of diversity and unity of purpose with the aim of combating social exclusion through empowerment.
