Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from our purpose includes providing residential accommodation for social, educational and cultural and musical events and activities to take place. This is an opportunity for individuals from cross border and cross community backgrounds to socially interact in a safe and low budget environment. The participants learn
new skills and share their own knowledge and experiences with each other. These benefits are demonstrated through feedback from participants and beneficiaries and by the level of uptake of our programmes. The purposes of our charity will not lead to any harm. The charity’s beneficiaries are people living locally within the Lecale area as well as both North and South of Ireland. A private benefit to trustees may arise from our programme of ongoing training programmes. Through this training trustees may gain skills and experience which are transferable to other settings. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.

The Mustard Seed Group is run by voluntary local people. The group was established to relief loneliness and alleviate among the poor, sick and less able by providing a facility for recreational, educational, leisure, cultural and social activities and low cost accommodation, which will enable people from a variety of backgrounds, beliefs and
cultures, to retreat, rest, recuperate and gain spiritual renewal in a safe and peaceful environment within the area of Ballyhornan, Co Down. We organise many activities for all ages and backgrounds in this rural, isolated and disadvantaged area of Ballyhornan. We operate from our own premises which is located on the old RAF army camp situated at Ballyhornan, Co Down.
