provision of, facilities for recreation or other leisure-time
occupation, if the facilities are provided in the interests of social
welfare.
(2) The requirement of subsection (1) that the facilities be provided in
the interests of social welfare is not satisfied unless —
(a) the facilities are provided with the object of improving the
conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities
are primarily intended; and
(b) either —

reason of their youth, age, infirmity or

circumstances; or

provided in the interests of social welfare, that subsection applies
in particular to the provision of facilities at public halls,

and maintenance of grounds and buildings to be used for
purposes of recreation or leisure-time occupation, and extends to

set apart for, the persons entitled by reason of the
invalidity of the trust or disposition; or

charitable purpose, or a combination of such purposes, in
accordance with a scheme approved under this Part.

purposes, in accordance with a scheme approved under this Part.

purpose; or

of under section 16 of the Charitable Collections
