Public benefits
The Charity’s purposes are to advance conflict resolution, peace and reconciliation, good community relations and the promotion of religious and racial harmony for the benefit of all the communities and people in Northern Ireland and the border counties in Ireland. The direct benefits which flow from the purposes include education on the deep
roots of conflict that lead to violence, with approaches, methodologies and resources to address and deal with conflict and violence within and between communities, build relationships and reconcile divided communities, networking opportunities for individuals or groups to meet with other minority or socially minded groups and support to organisations providing awareness-raising and education in all matters of diversity. The benefits are demonstrated through oral and written feedback from participants, independent evaluation, reflection and feedback by facilitators of respective programmes and other organisations. In providing training, there is a risk of triggering unresolved issues and hurts from those impacted directly by violence. However, programmes allow for the opportunity to deal with such hurts safely and in a safe environment, and as such the benefits far outweigh any potential harm. The charity’s beneficiaries are people living in Northern Ireland and the border counties of Ireland and in particular those with an interest or involvement in building good community relations, conflict resolution and peace building, black, minority, ethnic communities, those who feel marginalized, isolated or under-represented. A private benefit to trustees may arise through ongoing training in good governance, including finance etc. Trustees, however, will gain skills and expertise which is transferable to other settings. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure effectiveness and efficiency within the organisation which will directly impact positively on beneficiaries. There is private benefit to employees in the form of salaries, which are necessary in the pursuance of the aims and objectives of the organisation, and rental paid out for appropriate premises.
