Public benefits

Public Benefit: The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include: provision of educational and recreational facilities during out of school hours to improve children’s education and wellbeing. This promotes improved health and well-being outcomes, reduced levels of social isolation, stress and anxiety, and increased: socializing,

cooperation, good/community relations, skills, and confidence which will improve circumstances and opportunities. These benefits are demonstrated through feedback from beneficiaries, parents and teachers, and attendees at our events and activities using: evaluation forms, surveys, verbal feedback. There is no harm anticipated from this purpose. The charity’s beneficiaries are primarily all the children who attend Richmond Primary School. A private benefit to Trustees may arise from our ongoing services and programmes of leisure and activities: information, events, trips, and sports activities. Through this, Trustees gain services, leisure activities, information, skills, and experience which are transferable to other settings, and which may benefit their own community group or area. Our own Trustees receive information, services and activities in the same way as other beneficiaries, and are assigned activities, support, information and services in the same ways as other beneficiaries. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
