Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from our purpose includes giving people who live on their own a meeting place to get together with others to do arts and crafts and enjoy the social interaction which flows from the meetings. The participants learn new skills and share their own knowledge and skills with each other. These benefits are demonstrated
through feedback from participants and beneficiaries and by the level of uptake of our activities. The purposes of our charity will not lead to any harm. The charity’s beneficiaries are people living in the Lecale area around Dunsford and Downpatrick. A private benefit to trustees may arise from our programme of ongoing training programmes. Through this training trustees may gain skills and experience which are transferable to other settings. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
