Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from our purposes to our beneficiaries: We recognise there are public as well as personal benefits associated with religious practice and that the fostering of spirituality through religion itself provides an inherent benefit to society (through for example the potential for general moral improvement in society). The
public benefits from an increased awareness and understanding of religious beliefs and practices, missionary and outreach work, and religious communication. Those who attend our activities derive benefit from the public worship and teaching provided – being encouraged in their spiritual development. The community at large will benefit through the behaviour of those in attendance – as they live a lifestyle in line with the teachings of the Christian faith. The hundreds of volunteers involved (made up of people from the local community) will benefit through their active participation in a wide range of roles – they are able to connect in community with other like-minded people and share sense of having helped others. Harm/Unintended beneficiaries: We would highlight that access to all our activities are free of charge and open to everyone. We have assessed our purposes and our activities and believe there is no harm arising from them. We employ staff & engage suppliers as a necessary function of satisfying our purposes/carrying out or activities and apart from these employees/suppliers there are no other unintended beneficiaries. Evidence of direct benefits: We seek to ensure our activities are making a difference by asking for regular feedback from participants. We utilise a range of different methods – starting with verbal conversations and anecdotal observation (of the change in people’s lives) running right through to more formalised written evaluation forms. We monitor and record a significant quantity of statistics relating to (for example) the number of people who attend our primary activities.

What our organisation does. Since 1989 we have been running a refreshing, challenging and relevant ministry week at the University of Ulster Coleraine. It is the largest Christian event in Ireland attracting approximately 5000 people daily over the course of the event from all over N Ireland and beyond. Major elements include Evening Celebrations,
Morning Bible Readings, Seminars and Youth and Children’s work. New Horizon's ethos is one of volunteering and is largely run by a group of 400-500 volunteers.
