Public benefits
The direct benefits flowing from our purposes come from Jazz Juniors being a bespoke, free-for-all, rolling program which offers under 18s throughout the country the opportunity to train in jazz improvisation, a challenging, rewarding and hugely beneficial experience for any musically minded young person. Our follow-through developmental and
professional opportunities for emerging artists help young adults continue their development post-Jazz Juniors and into their careers and will provide a stronger future jazz scene in NI. Our concerts, featuring young people and professionals alike, create more developmental and professional opportunities in NI and bring jazz to the core of NI cultural life. The benefits of our work are demonstrated in the artistic and personal development of our participants, both of which are documented through our facilitators and parental feedback. The benefits of our efforts to bring jazz to the core of NI cultural life are demonstrated by the year-to-year growth of our participation numbers and audience growth. The benefits of our work with early career artists are demonstrated by their continued professional development and career growth. No harm arises from any of our purposes. The charity's beneficiaries are Under 18s, 18-25s, NI jazz audiences and NI arts audiences No private benefit flows from any of our purposes.
