The purposes stated do not give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries are learning disabled children, young adults and adults from Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, who choose to live in and be part of the Glencraig Village Community. In addition, the immediate family members derive a substantial intangible benefit, in the knowledge that their family member is being looked after in a safe and secure environment, where the focus is on the individual’s ability, not disability. Private benefit- The purposes may create a private benefit to directors, co-workers and employees through ongoing training in Education and Residential Care and good governance. Through this training these individuals gain skills and experience which are transferable to other settings, but the benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to the beneficiaries and flow from the over-riding aim to provide as fully as possible for the children, young people and adults who are resident in or attend the community.
