Public benefits
The benefits which flow from the purpose are the relief of poverty to those parents making application to the endowments in circumstances of economic hardship and to assist in the clothing and education of their children, both boys and girls across the community. We can demonstrate this by the feedback from beneficiaries, highlighted by the
recent receipt of a sum of money from a previous beneficiary. In addition the Endowment will, in turn, be a beneficiary from his Will. Most of the young people, who benefit from the assistance, move on to higher education. We are not aware of any harm flowing from the purpose. The main beneficiaries are the boys and girls of families we are assisting. They frequently continue into Higher Education. There is no private benefit apart from the payment of expenses to the Treasurer and Secretary of the Endowments. The Governors/Trustees give of their time entirely free of any expenses.
