Public benefits
The trustees believe that both our purposes satisfy both elements of the public benefit requirement. Purpose 1 The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include - The opportunity to consider, celebrate and express the Christian faith (103) - The adoption of a moral framework following the teachings of Jesus. This includes promoting
peace, meeting the needs of others, tolerance and respect for diversity recognising all as being created by God and therefore all are equal. (103) - The provision of Christian religious education (102) - Provision of training and skills development linked to Exodus programmes that will have aid ongoing competence in areas such as public speaking, group facilitation, good practice in youth work, leadership, event management and teamwork. (102) - The provision of youth centres and activities open to all which encourage social contact and interaction with a positive ethos. (105) - The provision of volunteering opportunities within centres and local communities. (105) These benefits are demonstrated through stories recorded from participants and partner organisations, feedback from volunteers, quarterly updates and the annual report. In providing these benefits Exodus seeks to share the core tenets of the Christian faith, however it will not condone any activities which put undue pressure on individuals to take on these beliefs. The beneficiaries of this purpose are young people living in Ireland aged 15-25. There will also be a direct benefit to youth leaders trained in roles, an indirect benefit to the families of young people and a wider benefit to the local communities. A private benefit to staff will arise as they are paid and also trained to carry out the role but this is necessary and incidental and payment is in line with appropriate levels of remuneration. Another private benefit flowing from this purpose is that gained by a Trustee who also has a teenage child who takes part in activities. This trustee applies for and is assigned places in the same way as all other beneficiaries. This benefit is incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries. Purpose 2 The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include - The provision of practical repairs, maintenance and food distribution to care for those in need. (101) - The provision of Christian religious education (102) These benefits are demonstrated through stories recorded from participants and partner organisations, feedback from volunteers, quarterly updates and the annual report. In providing these benefits Exodus seeks to share the core tenets of the Christian faith, however it will not condone any activities which put undue pressure on individuals to take on these beliefs. The beneficiaries of this purpose are individuals and communities primarily but not exclusively in developing countries.

Exodus was established in Portstewart, Northern Ireland in 1997 and our vision is to see generations of young people boldly following Jesus and becoming lifelong disciple makers. All premises in Coleraine, Lisburn and Derry from which Exodus operates serve as places for young people to meet and socialise in alcohol and drug free environments
where opportunities for volunteering within the venue, mentoring and participating in voluntary international teams will be offered. We currently work alongside young people, disciple makers, churches and communities in Ireland, Hungary and Romania offering four opportunities full of depth, fun and adventure: 1. TEAMS - Unforgettable small group adventures combining discovery, friendship and mission. 2. EVENTS & RESIDENTIALS - Fun, intentional and creative opportunities which build community and create discipling moments. 3. MENTORING - Deep discipling relationships between young people and older Christians. 4.TRAINING AND RESOURCES - Creative materials and workshops to equip leaders, parents and young people to make disciples. Through two decades of disciple making we have journeyed with over 15 000 young people and leaders. We believe that towns in Ireland, Hungary and Romania will be different when they have committed disciples in them and see that we have a calling to raise up young people who will live out a bold and active Christian faith where they live.
