Public benefits

The direct benefit which flows from this purpose includes enhanced community relations with and between young people and their families particularly from communities significantly affected by conflict, diversity or deprivation. Music, particularly in a choral setting, improves education, creativity and self-expression of children. The children

achieve a sense of discipline and self-control through singing together as a choir, and increased self-confidence and self-control through being involved in public performances. These benefits are evidenced through numbers taking part in our events and competition, and feedback from individuals, schools and the wider community. The purposes of the Charity do not lead to any harm The beneficiaries are young people and their families from, but not restricted to, those sections of the community deemed to be the most deprived in our society and those most hurt by the 'Troubles'. The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is the payment of fees to adjudicators, and printing costs, but this is incidental and necessary in order to achieve our purpose.
