Public benefits

Advancement of the Christian Faith The direct benefit which flows from this purpose is the promotion of Christian values for the benefit of individuals. The indirect benefits which flow from this purpose include the moral improvement in society as a whole which religion is considered to encourage. The Prevention or Relief of Poverty The

Christian message of love and encouragement is also advanced by the Trust through the provision of practical help and assistance to those suffering from poverty throughout the world. We aim to support those in need firstly by assisting in immediate relief of poverty and secondly through the implementation of sustainable development projects. With regards to immediate relief of poverty, we provide material items such as food, clothing, and shelter to individuals in need. As for sustainable development projects, these allow families and communities to produce food and become self-sustaining. Some examples of previous sustainable development projects include the development of support, housing, and medical projects in Kosova, and the provision of training equipment and facilities to projects working with gypsies and other disadvantaged young people in Slovakia. The benefits which flow from this purpose include the alleviation of hunger, the provision of shelter and the relief of poverty through the provision of clothing, food and sustainable development projects. These benefits will be evidenced through a reduction in disease and mortality rates and a general improvement in health and welfare. The beneficiaries will be those living in poverty or deprivation, irrespective of race, gender or religion, in developing nations. Advancement of Education We encourage the provision of education, whether formal or vocational, at any academic level, to those who would not otherwise be in a position to receive same. In furtherance of this aim, we provide funding to education and literature development initiatives across the developing world. The benefits which flow from this purpose are: (i) The moral and intellectual development and enhancement in knowledge and understanding of individual beneficiaries. (ii) An improved sense of wellbeing and increased self-esteem of individual beneficiaries as they develop new skills, capabilities and knowledge. These benefits will be evidenced through better examination results and progression to further studies, with beneficiaries ultimately equipped to enter into employment. The beneficiaries are children and young people who would not otherwise have access to education, irrespective of race, gender or religion, in developing countries. Advancement of Health or the Saving of Lives We provide funding to support the provision of healthcare initiatives and medical aid, in whatever form may be appropriate, to those deprived of such provision by their economic circumstances. The benefit which flows from this purpose is the improved health and welfare of individual beneficiaries. There is also a wider benefit to communities and society in general in having a healthier population. These benefits will be evidenced through the restoration to health of those who are ill, a reduction in disease and mortality rates and a general improvement in health and welfare. The beneficiaries are those in need of basic healthcare services, irrespective of race, gender or religion, in developing nations. In respect of all of the above purposes: 1. We do not consider there to be any private benefit flowing from any of the above purposes. 2. We do not anticipate that any harm or possibility of harm will flow from any of the above purposes.
