Public benefits
1. The advancement of citizenship or community development: The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include giving residents a meeting place to get together with others. There are opportunities to learn and reduce social isolation in our rural community and build community spirit and relations. These benefits will be demonstrated through
increased numbers of residents attending the events organised by Finnis Rural Development Association. 2. The advancement of education: The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include keeping people informed. With people increasing their knowledge, they will be able to make informed choices with regards to their lives and widen their skills and knowledge in various areas. These benefits will be demonstrated through post evaluation forms and/or a record of certificates received by members. 3. The advancement of culture: The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include providing education programmes and events in connection with the Ulster-Scots language and culture. These benefits will be demonstrated through attendance at cultural events held by the Association and evaluation forms from the same. None of the purposes will lead to harm. For all three of the purposes, the charity’s beneficiaries are people living in the Finnis area and its environs in Dree, Legananny and Moybrick. In relation to the three purposes, the only private benefit flowing from this purpose is the Association’s programme of ongoing training that a trustee may attend in relation to good governance, finance etc. Through this training trustees gain skills and expertise which are transferable to other settings. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
