Public benefits
a) The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include the relief of poverty, the advancement of community development, and the advancement of education providing a public benefit to a section of the public who reside in ( the “ area of benefit” ) but is not limited to those who live there.

The evidence is assessed by feedback received from local beneficiaries who avail of our programmes and their written reflections on our Facebook page and regular comments made to members whilst disseminating our monthly bulletin and media coverage received linked to ongoing events.
