Public benefits
Our organisation benefits the Egyptian and the Arab community members who are living in Northern Ireland as well as the local community members. We help our ethnic minority members to integrate within the local community and create a network between our members. We provide advice and basic services to the new immigrants from our community who moved
to live in NI. We are working hard to build a bridge between the local western culture and the culture of our ethnic minority members. We aim at increasing the awareness about the different cultures to promote integration and increase tolerance to fight racism and cut the hate crimes within the community. We work hard with all the governmental and the non- governmental organisations to cut the gap between the different sectors of the community. We help our members to learn the local language, particularly women who do not go to work. The benefits will be demonstrated through the mixed activities that we organise and includes members of our ethnic minority society and the local N. Irish society from all sectors of the community as well as the other ethnic minority members that will show mutual respect and tolerance and equality. This will happen as a result of direct engagement and discussion between all sectors of the community and as a result of us educating the local community members about our values and cultures. This will also be demonstrated through the increased confidence that our members will have as a result of the engagement with the local community members in our events and through improving their linguistic skills. The benefits will also be demonstrated by the networks that we will build between our members to help each other, and between our members and the local community members that will help the smooth integration of our ethnic minority members within the local community. There is no private or public harm. The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is possible financial gain to the organisation and this is incidental because we may raise fund raising charity events such as coffee meetings and other similar activities (if you call that as a private benefit). If this happens, this financial gain will be treated as an income for the organisation and will be spent for the good causes of improving the welfare of our members. We can not foresee any other possible private benefit from this purpose.
... [more] [less]What your organisation does
We have 2 main functions for our organisation. First, we help our own community members to integrate within the new community that they moved to live with. We help them to learn English language and we provide them with advice and basic services when feasible. Secondly we work to educate the local community about the our culture and the ethnic
minority values to cut racism. We organise shared events and workshops between our members and the local community members. This creates friendship and mutual understanding between both parties. We shared in sport activities for youth such as mid night soccer organised by PSNI. We actively took part in the Unite against Hate Campaign.We organise sport activities for the children shared between both sides of the community.
