Public benefits

The advancement of human rights, conflict resolution or reconciliation or the promotion of

religious or racial harmony, equality, inclusion and diversity within the community The Forum will facilitate all of the above purposes by providing educational training, to enable beneficiaries to gain work and life skills, reducing social and rural isolation, community involvement and providing a better quality of life, health and well being for service users, ethnic minority including those still at school, home, active in the community and those seeking to integrate. In addition, The Forum will involve service users, volunteers, parents, and the wider community in a common effort to tackle poverty, deprivation, education and loneliness and associated problems. The Forum will be working in partnership with other Public Bodies at a strategic level and also associating with other local voluntary and community groups to ensure that ongoing community problems both on an individual and collective basis are taken on board. This will be achieved through signposting to other agencies that will support the work of the charity and provide real life solutions for participants. The Forum, from time to time is able to monitor the impact of its services to the public by the use of verbal feedback from its users, the general public and from the number of participants that are directly or indirectly involved in any one program. For example, in our Food Sharing program we find that each subsequent event requires more user space as an increase in foot falls. We also depend on assessment made by the Landlord and employees of the premises. In particular but not exclusive of others, ethnic minority people facing difficulties, which include, families and minority groups. There are no harms resulting from any of the purposes. No person connected with this Forum gains a private benefit which is more than incidental to carrying out the purposes.
