Q: Who are the charity's beneficiaries?Who are the charity's beneficiaries? 1)The beneficiaries of this service are the young people in Northern Ireland who are disengaged/de-registered from mainstream education. 2)The beneficiaries are those disengaged/de-registered young people, their parents/guardians and other family members. 3)The beneficiaries are those affected by anxiety/depression/impaired mental health as a result of trauma or other adverse life event. 4) The beneficiaries of this service are the young people attending schools and other environments and the professionals who work in them. Q: Is there any private benefit flowing from any of the purposes? Is it incidental and necessary? 1)A private benefit to the tutors might be payment for their services - however as professionals, any income gained would be much lower than could be obtained working in other settings. Tutors are necessary for achieving the charities purpose therefore this is an incidental and necessary benefit. 2)A private benefit to the trustees would be someone connected to them making use of the service but this would only be a very small number of the total beneficiaries and an incidental benefit. 3)The private benefits may be that counsellors/trustees receive training which can be used in other roles - this is incidental and necessary. Another private benefit may be that therapists receive payment for their services, but as professionals, any income received would be lower than working privately or for non-charitable organisations. They are necessary for achieving the charities purpose so this is an incidental and necessary benefit. 4) No unintended beneficiary identified.
