Public benefits
The direct benefit which arises from our purposes is that young people who have participated in one of our programmes are better developed educationally, personally and economically within the wider society of Northern Ireland. Each programme has been evaluated by independent consultants and each evaluation has contributed to the process of design
of the programmes and advocacy for young people. Our beneficiaries are the disadvantaged young persons of Northern Ireland. There is no harm within our purposes and no private benefit accrues to any individual or institution from those purposes.
