Public benefits
The direct benefit which flows from this purpose includes encouraging volunteers to help alleviate poverty and improve conditions of education, health and well being and family life of children, teenagers and adults overseas which in turn promotes the personal development, education and experiences of young people. Benefits are evidenced through
feedback from those recipients of the bursaries including producing a short presentation for the trustees outlining their experiences, feedback from partnering charities and educational institutions which may form part of the projects, feedback from beneficiaries both in Northern Ireland and the international community. This purpose does not give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries of these purposes are those young people 18yrs to 30 yrs living in Northern Ireland who receive a bursary, those beneficiaries within communities in Northern Ireland and those beneficiaries overseas, for example, Gambia, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Nepal, Honduras, Nicaragua, Nova Scotia, Kenya, Ghana, Ecuador and India amongst others. A private benefit to trustees may arise from an ongoing programme of training and good governance and finance, etc. Through this training trustees may gain skills and experience which are transferrable to other settings. These skills are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to the right beneficiaries.

The Rotary Club of Lisburn (the Club) launched an annual bursary in 2004 to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Club. A Trust Fund was set up to manage the bursary awards. This bursary is primarily intended for those young people aged 18yrs to 30 yrs considering taking time out within a course of study before going to university or
joining the world of work. This bursary is used to assist these people to help disadvantaged people and communities at home or overseas. This bursary is also known as The Rotary Club of Lisburn Trevor Guy Memorial Bursary. Applications for the award open in February of each year and normally the main award is worth up to £500 with up to a further £500 which may be offered in the form of discretionary awards to runners-up who put forward interesting or worthwhile projects.
