Public benefits
Purpose one The benefits from this purpose include providing disabled persons the opportunity to assemble together to engage in Christian fellowship. The benefits are demonstrated through the number of groups and persons regularly meeting for this purpose. The purpose of our charity does not lead to harm, but there is a perceived risk to
vulnerable adults, this risk is outweighed by the benefits through proper vetting and training of volunteers to ensure the safeguarding of vulnerable adults. The charity’s beneficiaries are people living in Ireland who are disabled because of a physical, sensory or learning disability. A potential private benefit flowing from this purpose is the possibility of a Trustee who is disabled or who has a disabled relative who wishes to assemble with other disabled persons, and if this scenario arose, it would be incidental and necessary because any disabled person who wishes to engage in Christian fellowship under this purpose is eligible to do so. Purpose two The benefits which arise from this purpose include relieving the feelings of isolation which the disabled may feel because their disability makes it difficult for them to meet together without suitable support. The benefits are demonstrated by the positive feedback of disabled persons who assemble together, from their families, their carers. This purpose does not lead to harm. The charity’s beneficiaries are people living in Ireland who are disabled because of a physical, sensory or learning disability.

A potential private benefit flowing from this purpose is the possibility of a Trustee who is disabled or who has a disabled relative and if this scenario arose, it would be incidental and necessary because any disabled person or their family/carer is eligible to relief from this purpose.
