(Established by deed poll 29 V11 1908 under the hand and seal of the Right Honourable John Ross, a Land Judge of the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice in Ireland to act for and on behalf of the people of Irvinestown)

The "Trustees'" were established in 1908 and since then they have been actively involved in community life promoting and supporting a wide variety of projects.  Amongst those which come to mind are:

1. Management of properties transferred by Trust Deed. 
2. Regulation of Fairs and Market trading (now regulated by FDC). 
3. Maintenance of Town Clock (now regulated by FDC). 
4. Running the local Townhall now the W.E.L.B. library where a wide variety of community ctivities took place (i.e. plays, dances, drama festivals, woodwork/cookery classes etc). 
5. Constructing a powerhouse and town electrification scheme in the 1920's.  (one of the first in Northern Ireland). 
6. Building low cost public housing in the 1930's. 
7. Purchasing and renovating a Townhall in the 1980's - now the Delany Suite. 
8. In recent years organising the Christmas illuminations. 
9. Organising the inter denominational Carol Service every December. 
10. Providing financial assistance for items such as formation of tenants associations, computer education in local schools, The Lady of the Lake Festival, local entrepreneurial skills, authors, research projects, etc. 
11. Organising with aid from Shell Better Britain, Fermanagh District Council, Ulster Conservation Volunteers, Dept of Environment, local schools and Youth Clubs and Irvinestown 2001 Project in 1990 i.e. tree planting on towns approach roads and derelict sites, Tidy Town Contest etc. 
12. Opening the Town Clock and Old Graveyard in a suitable and aesthetically pleasing manner. 
13. Liaising with families and F.D.C. regarding the maintenance of the Old Graveyard. 
14. In the 1900's the Trustees leased the former Mart Yard site to ITEC for redevelopment under the CRISP programme and carried out major renovations of the Cornsheds to provide retail outlets and residential apartments.  The "Trustees" were initially (and still are) selected on a basis proportional to the religious affiliations of the community i.e. 7 Roman Catholic, 3 Church of Ireland, 2 Presbyterian, 2 Methodist.  The chairmanship rotates every three years.  The "Trustees" have always given a strong lead on community relations and pride themselves on being at least partially responsible for the excellent local community spirit.  BBC TV did an interesting programme a few years ago on the background and activities of the "Trustees" and the tape is available. 

They feel, that while they still have an important role to play in the community, they must also adapt to the needs of a new generation.  That is why they would like to make the best possible use of the resources available.
