Public benefits
Purpose #1 To provide, for the benefit of the community, housing, accommodation, assistance to help house people and associated facilities and amenities for the prevention or relief of poverty or for those in need by reason of youth, age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage. What benefit flows from this purpose? Access
to housing, accommodation, care or support for those in need by reason of youth, age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage, thereby alleviating the stress and anxiety that results from a lack of access to such facilities. How is this demonstrated? Through the visible provision of housing, accommodation, care and support within communities where such need exists, through feedback from tenants by means of customer surveys and from the results of regular inspections by government departments and agencies such as the DSD and RQIA. Is there any harm or possibility of harm arising from this purpose? No harm or possibility of harm is envisaged. Who are the beneficiaries? People who require housing, accommodation, care or support and who are in need by reason of youth, age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or some other disadvantage. Is there any private benefit? Private benefit may arise from the provision of training for the charity’s Trustees in good governance, finance etc. which will afford them particular skills and experience that could be transferred to other settings. This is however considered to be both incidental and necessary to ensure that the public benefits are effectively delivered to the beneficiaries. Purpose #2 To carry on, for the benefit of the community, any other charitable object according to the law of Northern Ireland that can be carried out by an Industrial and Provident Society registered as a housing association by the Department. What benefit flows from this purpose? Benefit(s) accruing to one or more Northern Ireland communities that arise from the carrying out by the association of any charitable activity permitted under Northern Ireland charity law. How is this demonstrated? Through the visible provision of charitable activity within communities, through feedback from beneficiaries and from reports compiled for Trustees on the conduct of such activities to record outcomes and ensure compliance with Northern Ireland charity law. Is there any harm or possibility of harm arising from this purpose? No harm or possibility of harm is envisaged. Who are the beneficiaries? People living in communities within Northern Ireland entitled to benefit from such charitable activity. Is there any private benefit? Private benefit may arise from the provision of training for the charity’s Trustees in good governance, finance etc. which will afford them particular skills and experience that could be transferred to other settings. This is however considered to be both incidental and necessary to ensure that the public benefits are effectively delivered to the beneficiaries.
