Public benefits
The trustees believe that our purposes satisfy both elements of the public benefit requirement and that the purposes do not give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries of all purposes are people in the area comprising the District Councils of Derry, Limavady and Strabane in Northern Ireland and the Inishowen Peninsula in the Republic of Ireland. The
direct benefits which flow from purpose 1 include an improved physical environment leading to an increased sense of pride for the local community and more attractive places for tourists. These benefits are evidenced through external awards, improvements in well-being in the community and increased personal safety. A private benefit to trustees is that they benefit from the improved environment. This benefit is incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries. The direct benefits which flow from purpose 2 include an increased recognition of the distinctive history, culture and physical legacy of the area of benefit and the creation of a more informed understanding or opinion which assists in promoting high standards of planning and architecture. These benefits are evidenced through the number of people attending events, the interest in built and natural heritage publications produced by the Foyle Civic Trust and through evaluation by funders. A private benefit to trustees is that they benefit from the education that is open to all. This benefit is incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries. The direct benefits which flow from purpose 3 include an improved and protected built and natural environment leading to an increased sense of pride for the local community, creating more attractive places for tourists and bringing heritage-led regeneration. These benefits are evidenced through external awards, feedback from the public and evaluation by funders. A private benefit to trustees is that they benefit from the improved environment. This benefit is incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries. .
