Public benefits

The 1825 Project operates under a Statement of Purpose contained in its Constitution dated 12 December 2001. It is an organisation set up to include the regulations for appointment of trustees. The objects of the Project are the advancement of education (including social and citizenship) of young people aged 14 – 25 years regardless of sex, race,

religion, orientation or ability. We aim to develop strategically targeted interventions for young people that contribute to addressing and managing sectarianism, racism, reasons for disadvantage and marginalisation through the delivery of training and education to them and those working with them. We further aim to contribute in addressing the gap in education and training to those young people aged 14 – 25 years of age disadvantaged in the mainstream though learning disability and difficulty and those with Autistic Spectrum Disorder and co-occurring conditions. We seek to provide a structured educational and training environment that develops its participant’s capabilities, competences and skills. We also seek to provide an environment where each participant can develop and fulfil his or her potential, building their self-confidence and inculcating a desire to contribute to the wider community. In so doing, we seek to prepare our participants for the opportunities, responsibilities and experience of transitions in their challenging lives. The Directors believe that the 1825 Project conforms readily to the new public benefit requirements of the Charity Commission. The reasons for this belief are: • 1825 Project has charitable objectives (as noted above) that quite clearly demonstrate public benefit in promoting social development and opportunity trough education and training. • The project monitors and collates the activities of all of its participants and keeps a record of the training and educational achievement of them by means of providing a personal record of achievement portfolio and using the figures to present to all interested parties the benefits of those achievements. • The organisation produces monthly, quarterly and annual reports which highlights the achievements of the participants and the benefits those achievements bring to them personally and to their local communities. • The organization bars no one on the basis of ability and provides education and training at a level which will be attainable for those young people participating and which takes into account any or no disability they may have. • There is no private benefit or harm as a result of the organisation's activities.
