Charity no. 101571 Date registered. 09/02/2015

Public benefits

The public benefits that flow from the purpose of urban and rural regeneration are:- (i) The creation of employment, training and work experience opportunities for residents living in economically and socially deprived areas and consequently a reduction in poverty, unemployment and hardship, leading to a better quality of life for the

beneficiaries. (ii) Enhanced knowledge about setting up and running small businesses. (iii) Increased levels of knowledge and transferable vocational skills of those employees / work experience trainees that are taken on. These benefits can be evidenced in records kept by various agencies of the number of jobs and work experience opportunities created and the numbers of those who have successfully completed training courses. Evidence can also be found in evaluations of the activities of enterprise agencies and in surveys of living standards. Some private benefit is obtained by the owners of small businesses who rent units on favourable terms, but this is ancillary to the main purpose and is greatly outweighed by the gains in public benefit. No harm arises from these purposes.
