Public benefits
Purposes 1. To provide worship services for those following or investigating Jesus Christ in the Newtownards and Ards Peninsula area. 2. To provide a moral and spiritual education for children in the Newtownards and Ards Peninsula area. 3. To carry out, as a practical expression of the teaching of Jesus Christ, other activities (such as relief of
poverty, supporting unemployed, providing free education tutoring, serving the isolated), which may also be charitable. 4. To contribute to attendees’ good mental and physical health by providing social connection opportunities as well as purposeful volunteering. The trustees believe that each of our purposes satisfy both elements of the public benefit requirement. Purpose 1 The direct benefits, which flow from this purpose, include spiritual fulfillment, a sense of belonging, improved moral understanding and social interaction with other like-minded worshippers. These benefits are demonstrated through feedback from attenders, social media interaction and comments, return ratios and growing numbers of people attending. This purpose does not give any rise to harm. The beneficiaries of this purpose are all people living in the wider Newtownards area of from the Ards Peninsula area. A private benefit to trustees is their personal worship experience. These benefits are necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries. Purpose 2 The direct benefits, which flow from this purpose, are an improved moral understanding in the next generation as they learn to care for other people, connect with God and understand the they are significant in God’s eyes. These benefits are demonstrated through the behavior of children and from direct feedback from parents and carers. This purpose does not give any rise to harm. The beneficiaries of this purpose are children of families who attend worship gatherings or who attend our children’s activities in local community facilities or schools. A private benefit to trustees would be if their children were to attend any of the activities provided. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries. Purpose 3 The direct benefits, which flow from this purpose, include the reduction of peoples stress and anxiety, improved health through sufficient eating and a balanced diet, improved employment skills for those seeking employment, improved education and social interaction and support for those who are lonely and isolated. These benefits are demonstrated through feedback from clients, referral agencies and the family members of those helped. This purpose does not give any rise to harm. The beneficiaries of this purpose are anyone in the Newtownards and Ards Peninsula area who are referred to our services. There are no private benefits to the trustees from this purpose. Purpose 4 The direct benefits, which flow from this purpose, include reduced isolation along with increased stimulation and purpose for those connected in social groups or volunteering opportunities. These benefits are demonstrated through feedback forms completed by volunteers and reports from group leaders recording the attendance and participation at each group. This purpose does not give any rise to harm. The beneficiaries of this purpose are people in the Newtownards and Ards Peninsula area who become aware of or are referred to any of our activities. A private benefit to trustees would be if they or a family member volunteer or attend a social group. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
