Public benefits
Purpose The centre is established to provide, maintain and promote facilities and activities of a social, spiritual, educational, and recreational nature with the object of improving the conditions of life of children and young people without distinction of sex, political, religious or other opinion. What benefit flows from this purpose? The direct
benefits which flow from this purpose include an increase in social skills, improvement in emotional well-being, improved positive educational outcomes and increased spiritual development in the lives of local young people. This purpose will also provide improvements to overall community life. How we will demonstrate this: The above benefits will be evidenced through a number of evaluative means including: recordings and observations of staff members; other qualitative data from parents, teachers, and community representatives; quantitative data from programme and project evaluations; and data from other sources including other service providers both statutory and non-statutory. Is any harm or possibility of harm outweighed by the benefit? There is no identifiable harm to any person through the pursuit of the above organisational purpose. Who is the benefit for? The beneficiaries of this purpose are children and young people as defined by Government policy in Northern Ireland living in the Upper Springfield area of Belfast. Is there any private benefit? Is it incidental or necessary? A private benefit is that gained by a Trustee who has a child who makes use of the facilities and activities of the club. The child of the Trustee applies to be part of the youth club and is given access in the same way as other beneficiaries. This benefit is incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries. Volunteers may gain an increased sense of well-being through their involvement in the centre, however this benefit is incidental and necessary to ensure benefit is provided to beneficiaries. Staff may gain opportunities to be involved in educational or recreational activities. This benefit is also incidental and necessary for the work of the organisation to take place.

Corpus Christi Youth Centre has been in operation now for over 30 years in some of the most socio-economically deprived communities in Northern Ireland. The staff and volunteers of the youth centre work to create appropriate settings that facilitate the growth and development of the young people of White and Westrock, Ballymurphy, Springhill,
Dermothill, Moyard and New Barnsley estates. We work in partnership with young people as they seek to meet their political, social, personal, cultural, spiritual and physical needs. In working to achieve these aims we will strive to create a climate of mutual respect, understanding, equity, diversity and interdependence. The social and personal development of the young people is the core objective of all our work. We also aim to develop life skills, broaden horizons, increase participation and encourage civic responsibility.
