Public benefits
Young at Art exists to provide children and young people from all backgrounds with access to, and education in, arts and cultural activities. It promotes work of artistic value in different artforms, promotes international cultural exchange and supports local artists to develop their understanding and skills in working for and with children and
young people. The principal benefit of its work is the contribution to children and young people’s imaginative wellbeing, creativity and cultural access. Indirectly, its work supports their wellbeing, education, realisation of their skills and potential, and enhances the capacity of adults around them to support their entitlement to cultural participation and creative expression. The benefits of the organisation’s work can be evidenced through an evaluation framework, gathering opinions and experiences of children, young people and adult carers, and through the gathering of relevant data (attendance reports, monitoring of target groups and their participation levels). The primary beneficiaries of the company’s work are children and young people in Northern Ireland. Secondary beneficiaries are parents, families, teachers and carers, emerging artists, and children and young people outside Northern Ireland. There is little or no evidence that its work may be harmful and private benefit is incidental and necessary in achieving the organisation’s purpose, in the form of artists and staff benefitting from skills development which is transferable within their personal career path.
