Public benefits
The Directors feel that all of our specific objects/purposes satisfy both elements of the public benefit requirement. 1 "To promote the benefit of the public and advance education in all matters relating to the Irish language, arts, music, crafts and Irish cultural heritage." The benefits flowing from this include enhanced education, personal
development and employment opportunities for people in Belfast. These are demonstrated through feedback from participants and regular independent evaluation of our services. This purpose does not lead to harm. The beneficiaries are people living mainly in south and east Belfast. If a director benefits from our activities, any such private benefit is incidental and is necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries. 2 “To establish arts and cultural facilities and to maintain or manage such facilities for activities promoted by the company in furtherance of the above objects.” The benefits flowing from this include the establishment and maintenance of improved arts and cultural facilities for people in Belfast. These are demonstrated by the existence of the facilities themselves but also through feedback from participants and regular independent evaluation of our services. This purpose does not lead to harm. The beneficiaries are people living mainly in south and east Belfast. If a director benefits from activities held within said facilities, any such private benefit is incidental and is necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries. 3 “To maintain, develop and manage pre-school, primary school, afterschool and youth facilities, and educational and recreational facilities through the medium of Irish in the interests of social welfare for children, young people and their parents.” The benefits flowing from this include the development and maintenance of improved educational, recreational and childcare facilities for children and families in Belfast.
