Public benefits
The public benefits that flow from purpose (a) are a reduction in conflict, violence, suffering and distress, enhanced social cohesion and trust between communities and a growing sentiment in favour of peaceful means of resolving conflict. The beneficiaries are members of societies in which conflict between communities has arisen. These benefits
can be evidenced by evaluations of the work and impact of the School, research findings, records of incidents of violent conflict and from social attitude surveys. No harm or private benefit arises from this purpose.

The ISPS has adopted and delivers 2 main priorities Priority 1: Reconciling Communities and Priority 2: Contributing to a Shared Society. Priority 1: Reconciling Communities focuses on two key areas; • building positive relations at the local level, and • Acknowledging and dealing with the past. It is important that relationships are built on
respect and trust and ISPS sets out to establish that essential ingredient by introducing adults and youth to the common history of the Nationalist 16th Irish and Unionist 36th Ulster Divisions who fought and died side by side at the Battle of Messines on 7th June 1917. The theme of our programme is “Reconciliation through Remembrance” and through our workshops at home and field trips abroad we deal specifically with acknowledgement of past events and the role of our communities in those events. We encourage them to embrace the basic principal of “treating each other with dignity and respect, and to deal with our differences through dialogue and reject all form of violence as a means of creating change”. Only the people within a community can solve their own problems and only if they are willing to do so and the mission of the ISPS is to get them to the point of being willing to do so by demonstrating the alternative to peaceful co-existence is war and death and to advance Community Development in Northern Ireland by providing groups and organisations with amenities, training, support and information and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation, amateur sport and other leisure time occupations to improve the conditions of life of the inhabitants.
