Northern Ireland Cross Community Angling

Public benefits

N.I.C.C.A Purposes: Northern Ireland Cross Community Angling has been established to support the preservation of fish life, the encouragement of angling as a sport through a series of programmes, activities and events and to bring people together in a positive environment through which they can form lasting relationships and gain experiences which

can improve other aspects of their lives such as mental health and wellbeing, social wellbeing and education. N.I.C.C.A Public Benefit Statement: The trustees believe that our purposes satisfy the elements of the public benefit requirement. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include the increased participation in Angling as a sport, leading to the improvement of health as well as social and environmental education. These benefits are demonstrated through feedback from project participants, communities, key stakeholders as well as increased membership and public participation. The purposes of our charity will lead to no harm. The charity’s beneficiaries are the general public, local communities and key stakeholders. The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is to trustees, volunteers and coaches and may arise from our ongoing training programmes in good governance, finance, first aid, child protection, coaching etc. Through these training programmes trustees, volunteers and coaches gain skills and experience which are also transferable to other aspects of their life. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
