| Cloughfin Community Association [Charity number: NI102972] Cloughfin Community Association (CCA) was established in May 1987 by a group of local people to renovate and extend the local primary school which closed its door to children in June 1977. Whilst operating as a school the building had also doubled as a meeting place for local people in this socially deprived area. A committee was formed, grants sought and fund-raising took place to provide a well-equipped centre for the inhabitants of the area. Recently a grant was obtained to make the building more environmentally friendly by installing new double glazed windows, doors and a new oil burner, improving insulation and fitting curtains. Current activities which take place in the centre are a weekly Old Time Dancing Class and a weekly Irish Dancing Class. A collection of books is available for people to borrow and a table-tennis table is available for those interested in the game. With the help of funding a “Grow For Life” project has just been completed which involved the planting of 180 trees and several hundred spring bulbs, learning how to grow, cook and store herbs, vegetables and fruit, recycle vegetation to make compost, save seeds and building nest boxes and bird tables. Fundraising was carried out at Christmas for the Northern Ireland Chest, Heart & Stroke Association. We have just received the news that we are being granted funding to hold a series of health talks through Building the Community Pharmacy Partnership and are currently waiting to hear if we have been successful. CCA is a member of Omagh Forum for Rural Associations and we refer people, when the need arises, in the Cloughfin and surrounding area to the MARA officer who is based at the Forum. |

| Carntogher Community Association [Charity number: NI104017] Carntogher Community Association is a rural Community Association with a very innovative approach to Rural Regeneration. Over the past 20 years the Association has delivered a very wide range of projects that have turned around the fortunes of a dispersed rural community that has been suffering from depopulation and a decline in agricultural employment. The Carntogher area has successfully halted this cycle of decline and is in the process of building a new future and is now helping other communities and individuals to follow its example and fulfil their potential. The Association promotes a wide range of initiatives including, formal and informal training, family support, health & wellbeing, peace and reconciliation, social housing, youth initiatives, Irish-language and cultural initiatives, an arts programme, environmental projects and social economy enterprises such as Siopa An Carn, Carn Translations and Spraoi CIC. The Association has administered well over £3M of funding in the past eight years and has much experience in project delivery and grant administration. Recent capital investment in the group infrastructures has seen the creation of An Carn Conference Centre, An Coire Arts Centre and An Teach Glas – Self Catering Accommodation. In addition to this an opportunity arose in early 2012 to secure the purchase of 130 acres of very valuable ecological habitat directly alongside 80 acres of Drumnaph Woodland which the Association co-managed with the Woodland Trust. As a result of funding from HLF and NIEA the Association was able to purchase the land and is now the only community-owned Nature Reserve in N.Ireland. The Association has undertaken some basic improvement and access works and offered interpretation via a brochure, website and App. Many other communities from across Ireland and further afield are now looking to Carntogher as a model of good practice in building sustainable and prosperous rural communities. |
