The beneficiaries of this purpose are children, young people and adults in the Gobnascale area of Derry. A private benefit is that gained by a trustee who may avail of the services offered by The Whistle Project. The benefit is incidental as trustees are members of the local community. The Trustees may also gain transferrable skills and experience and an increased sense of well-being through their role as trustees. The wider community benefits from the positive contribution made by children, young people and adults in their community as a result of their engagement with The Whistle Project. This benefit is also incidental and necessary to enable the work of the company to take place.
