Public benefits
The direct public benefit is that: People, individually and collectively, better understand the art, history, science and culture of Northern Ireland and its significance and relevance in a wider national and global context. This is evidenced through the data we hold in relation to • Visitor numbers, a key performance indicator (KPI) reported in
the Annual Report • The demographic profile of visitors • On line visitation, a KPI reported in the Annual Report • Details of outreach visits where we take collections into local communities, a KPI reported in the Annual Report • Specific learning programmes for formal learners, lifelong learners and communities, including STEM programmes, a KPI reported in the Annual Report • The diversity and scale of our exhibitions and public programming • Evaluations, feedback and customer satisfaction rating of our programmes and exhibitions • The number of collections-related images available online, a KPI reported in the Annual Report • Partnerships with academic and higher education institutions Beneficiaries include the people of Northern Ireland, people from outside the area who visit the museum and online users of NMNI.com. Private benefit may arise in cases where we acquire objects and artefacts to add to the national collections (eg paintings) but this is incidental and necessary for the advancement of the arts, culture, heritage and science, by adding to that collection. Likewise private benefit may arise in cases where event and exhibition partners benefit from their exposure to wider audiences which may result in them gaining a higher profile. Again this is incidental and necessary for the advancement of the arts, culture, heritage and science. It is therefore necessary to help the charity achieve its charitable purposes. Finally, no harm arises from these purposes.

National Museums Northern Ireland comprises the Ulster Museum, the Ulster American Folk Park and the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum. The organisation is responsible for caring for and developing the National Collections on behalf of the people of Northern Ireland. National Museums Northern Ireland: - Provides excellent museum environments to
enhance understanding of, and respect for, our culture, history and heritage - Provides public access to collections and artefacts in public ownership - Delivers high quality learning programmes to children and adults in partnership with schools, colleges and universities - Increases cultural participation for a wide cross-section of Northern Ireland society, contributing to equality and community cohesion. National Museums Northern Ireland delivers a high quality programme of exhibitions which showcase the collections we hold on behalf of the public as well as providing additional opportunities for cultural advancement and learning through the provision of selected temporary and travelling exhibitions. Exhibitions are accompanied by public programming activity which seeks to engage the widest possible audience and can run from events based on the exhibition or collections themes to hands on workshops in interactive learning areas. The museum recognises that our audiences will have a range of learning styles and abilities and education programmes are reflective of this requirement. Schools, colleges and universities work in partnership with us to ensure that people can access our learning programmes whilst we work with local communities to enable non-traditional users to benefit from learning opportunities.
