Public benefits
The purpose of Belfast Film Festival Ltd is to present, promote, organise, provide, manage and produce such specialized (cultural, lesser seen, archive) film screenings and events, community based film activities, film related outreach work in marginalized communities, broadcasts, concerts, musical pieces, entertainment and exhibitions, whether on
any premises of the Company or elsewhere, as are conducive to the promotion, maintenance, improvement and advancement of education or to the encouragement of the art of film, or the arts. The direct benefits flowing from this purpose include the promotion and enjoyment, better understanding and general advancement of the arts and film, for the benefit of the general public in Northern Ireland through exposure to, as an audience member or participant through outreach work in marginalized communities and schools, the arts and film. These benefits can be demonstrated by regular internal and external qualitative assessment; audiences and participation; photo and video documentation; regular reporting of charitable activities and financial performance in annual reports, audited annual accounts, and reports to grant funders. The purposes of our charity will not lead to any harm, although there are policies and procedures in place to address certain risks, for example safeguarding and child protection policies, health and safety policy, code of conduct for staff and volunteers, equal opportunities policy, disability policy and safeguarding policy. The charity’s beneficiaries are the general public in Northern Ireland. Specific projects may address the needs of specific sections of society (e.g. access to film and the arts project targeting social needs in particular electoral wards). The only private benefit flowing from the purpose is artists and filmmakers benefit from exposure to a wider audience, which may result in their gaining a higher profile. This is incidental to the achievement of the purpose and, while a private benefit, is necessary to help the charity achieve our charitable purpose.
