In pursuit of these benefits the primary purposes are: The relief of those in need by reason of youth with ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage The prevention or relief of poverty The advancement of
education The advancement of health or the saving of lives The work we do can also achieve benefits against the following charitable purposes with children and young people in Northern Ireland under 21. The advancement of citizenship or community development The advancement of the arts, culture, heritage or science The advancement of amateur sport The advancement of human rights, conflict resolution or reconciliation or the promotion of religious or racial harmony or equality and diversity The advancement of environmental protection or improvement Any other charitable purposes. The benefit that flows from each of our purposes is that other charities and philanthropic organisations who work with children and young people in all of these fields are provided with funding support to maintain, develop and sustain that work. Organisations are required to apply for funding against published criteria to demonstrate how they will benefit children and young people in Northern Ireland. Successful grant recipients are required to complete an end of grant report, evidencing how funding has been used and most importantly the public benefit this has brought. Funding is provided only to organisations that have a current child protection policy. A grants committee of the Victoria Homes Trust assesses applications received and makes recommendation to the full committee. The grants selection process takes into consideration any harm that may arise from the proposed project and makes judgements as to approval or otherwise ensuring the benefits greatly outweigh any potential harms. The beneficiaries are children and young people under the age of 21 in Northern Ireland who experience some form of disadvantage, disability or abuse. Victoria Homes trust ensures that where grants are given if any private benefit is gained, this is incidental in achieving the purpose.
