Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from our purposes include improved spiritual awareness and religious well being as a result of various aspects of work undertaken by The Society. These benefits are demonstrated through feedback from the general public together with evaluations provided by attendees at conferences and retreats held at The Society's
facilities. In our opinion the purposes of The Society are entirely beneficial and do not lead to any harm. The beneficiaries of our purposes are the general public to include people living within the island of Ireland who wish to explore and enhance their spiritual and religious welfare. A private benefit to trustees may arise due to their facilitation of conferences, courses and other educational activities. through such activities trustees gain skills and experience which are transferable to other settings. These benefits ate incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
