Public benefits

Purpose 1 It is envisioned that All Nations Ministries will promote for the public benefit, but not exclusively, an understanding of the Christian faith - that advocates for mutual support, shared learning and spiritual development between different denominations within the context of N. Ireland. For the public benefit, All Nations Ministries

will also encourage people from ethnic minority backgrounds living in N. Ireland, to realise the importance of integration and good citizenship within their local church communities and wider society. While at the same time, enabling the wider community to understand and accept those from different backgrounds living alongside them. Overall, for the Public Benefit, ANM will be seeking to break down barriers, and change attitudes between individuals coming from a diversity of backgrounds within society and communities in general, and advocating for positive change. These benefits can be demonstrated by facilitating for the public benefit, regular ecumenical gathering and worship, for those who are from an international and local background. Providing advice and information for the public benefit to internationals/migrants/immigrants/asylum seekers and refugees, and those who are newcomers to N. Ireland; advancing learning for the public benefit on issues related to cultural awareness and racism to young people (but not exclusively) who are from ethnic minority and mixed race backgrounds. Promoting tolerance, multiculturalism and discouraging anti-social and anti-discriminatory behaviour, while instilling confidence and self-esteem, through the facilitation of workshops, seminars and cultural events throughout N. Ireland. These benefits will be evidenced by the production of written reports to stakeholders, feedback to funding bodies; as well as ongoing and regular evaluation of planned activities and events. Purpose 2 It is envisioned that All Nations Ministries will promote for the public benefit, but not exclusively, the bringing together of people from a diversity of backgrounds, through social activities and events, to alleviate loneliness, isolation, alienation and breaking down of barriers of fear and ignorance. Enabling newcomers in N. Ireland to develop social networks and friends so that they can better integrate into the life and community in which they live; therefore improving their quality of life. For the public benefit, All Nations Ministries will promote physical activity and increase the dexterity of people, through the hosting of events in local facilities, which enables those from disadvantaged and inner city backgrounds to improve their physical and mental wellbeing. These benefits can be demonstrated by facilitating for the public benefit the organising and hosting of social and cultural activities which display the diversity of cultures in N. Ireland – and celebrating the differences. For the public benefit, promoting the building up of support groups (men, women, youth, and families) to provide people with a place where they can share and chat through some of the challenges they are facing in moving to a new culture; as well allowing for the building of friendships. These benefits will be evidenced by the production of written reports to stakeholders, feedback to funding bodies; as well as ongoing and regular evaluation of planned activities and events. All Nations Ministries beneficiaries are the general public in N. Ireland with particular emphasis upon those who are from international backgrounds, ethnic minorities, mixed race, refugees and asylum seekers. There is no perceived or intentional harm flowing from All Nations Ministries’ purposes, and the benefits to society are positive in nature. There is no private benefit flowing from All Nations Ministries’ purposes.
