Ardinariff Historical & Cultural Society

Public benefits

In relation to all of the purposes of Ardinariff Historical & Cultural Society, the direct benefits include: 1. An increased knowledge and awareness of Ulster-Scots within the locality of Ardinariff and surrounding areas. Through training, workshops and events organised by our society, many people obtain experience in the music, dance, history and

culture of the Ulster-Scots. 2. The personal development of intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual capabilities, which in turn provide value to the individual and society as a whole in terms of improved health and well-being. 3. Providing facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation, with the object of improving living standards, health and well-being of the residents of Ardinariff and surrounding areas. Also providing greater opportunities to engage in activities that bring local residents together improving their mental, emotional and social well-being. These benefits are evidenced through feedback from regular evaluations. The beneficiaries of Ardinariff Historical & Cultural Society are all people living in the locality of Ardinariff and surrounding areas, without distinction of age, sex, race, political, religious or other opinion. There are no harms resulting from any of the purposes. No person connected with the organisation gains a private benefit which is more than incidental to carrying out the purposes.
