Public benefits
The Society’s purposes are outlined as follows: a) Making Grants for or towards the education and maintenance of children selected as outlined in our grant making procedure. •The benefit that flows from purpose a) is that the well-being of children and their families is enhanced by basic financial needs being addressed and/or poverty
alleviated. •These benefits can be demonstrated by receipt of grant cheque by the family, and informal and unsolicited feedback from some beneficiaries and those who administer the grants (Ministers) for example by “thank you” letters and telephone calls. An annual means testing procedure ensures families are in need of assistance and therefore will benefit from the financial grants provided. •The intended beneficiaries are children who reside in families under the pastoral care of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. •There is no harm or potential for harm as a result of the purpose being carried out. •No one gains private benefit as a result of the purpose being carried out. b) Caring for and supporting children in need whether material, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual and promoting their material, physical, mental emotional and spiritual development whether through their families, Church or community or otherwise howsoever that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society. •The benefit that flows from purpose b) is that the well-being of families and their children is enhanced by schemes which are financially supported by the Society. The Society’s funding provides opportunities for children and their families to develop materially, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. •These benefits can be demonstrated by informal and unsolicited feedback from some beneficiaries and those who administer the grants (Ministers) for example by “thank you” letters and telephone calls. •The intended beneficiaries are children who reside in families under the pastoral care of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. •There is no harm or potential for harm as a result of the purpose being carried out. •No one gains private benefit as a result of the purpose being carried out. c) Providing day care and residential establishments for children and, where appropriate, their families. •At present the Society does not provide day care or residential establishments for children and their families and has no plans to do so.
