The purposes of The Peace People Charitable Trust are to advance the cause of peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland and beyond and to advance education in the field of peace and reconciliation (to include amongst other things the provision of a focal point namely the Peace House) in such manner as the Trustees think fit providing always that
the Trust Fund and the income thereof shall be applied only to such purposes as are charitable by the law of Northern Ireland. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include less tragedies, war, violence and killing. Further benefits include improved health and reduced levels of stress and anxiety. The benefits to the advancement of education are the provision amongst other things of written resources, talks, seminars and work experience initiatives based on first-hand knowledge and experience of promoting peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland and beyond. These benefits are demonstrated through feedback from monthly meetings, police, news reports, social media, community workshops, university reports, government statistics and medical reports. In building a peaceful society with our neighbours day in and day out and reducing tragedies in Northern Ireland we believe that there is no possibility of harm to society only gain. The charities beneficiaries are people who live in Northern Ireland and beyond who strive for peaceful societies with less tragedies. There are no private benefits flowing from the purposes.
