Public benefits
The purpose of Carrickfergus and District Historical Society is to promote a knowledge and understanding of the past by means of education, recording and dissemination of information, especially of the history of the Carrickfergus area. These benefits can be demonstrated by feedback and words of thanks from the beneficiaries for the information
received. The purpose of our Charity will not lead to any harm. The Charity’s beneficiaries are the general public in the Carrickfergus area and those who originated from the area but have since moved away and are keen to learn about the lives of their ancestry. There are no private benefits flowing from the purpose.
