Public benefits

Having regard to the Public Benefit Requirement Statutory Guidance, the Trustees believe that our purposes satisfy both elements of the public benefit requirement. Purpose one The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include the reduction of hunger and sickness as well as improved housing, education, personal hygiene and mental

health. These benefits will enhance the employment opportunities, promote social inclusion, provide improved quality of life and increase life expectation for the poorest in society. These benefits will be demonstrated through improved living conditions, general health, educational achievements, employment prospects and psychological wellbeing. This purpose does not lead to harm. The Trust’s beneficiaries are the poor, homeless, socially excluded and needy anywhere worldwide. The only private benefits flowing from this purpose would be to the employees of and suppliers to the organisations and individuals supported through this Trust. These benefits are incidental to, and a consequence of, the way in which the Trust's purposes are carried out for the public benefit by the supported organisations and individuals. Purpose two The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include encouraging moral improvement, good citizenship, adherence to Christian values and an understanding of the Christian faith. These benefits can improve mental health, the feeling of belonging to a community and giving meaning to this life and hope of eternity. These benefits will be demonstrated through the public attending Christian churches, changing their social and moral behaviour and following the practices and beliefs of the Christian faith. This purpose could lead to harm to some people by being excluded from their family or community or persecuted for their Christian values or faith. However, this harm is outweighed by the benefits described above to the vast majority of the public who believe in and benefit from Christian values and the Christian faith without fear of exclusion or persecution. The Trust’s beneficiaries are the public anywhere worldwide. The only private benefits flowing from this purpose would be to the employees of and suppliers to the organisations and individuals supported through this Trust. These benefits are incidental to, and a consequence of, the way in which the Trust's purposes are carried out for the public benefit by the supported organisations and individuals.

What your organisation does

The Trust has been donated a property which is currently rented to an unconnected third party. The Trustees have appointed an Estate Agent to manage the property and collect the rents. The Estate Agent deducts their fees and other costs related to the property from the rent before forwarding the net amount to the Trust bank account. The net

proceeds from the rents received are used to provide funding to other charities, organisations, groups or individuals who are delivering the Purposes of the Trust in the areas of need worldwide. This funding can be in the form of loans or grants. The Trustees carry out due diligence reviews on the funding recipients both before and after providing the funding, to ensure all funding received by the recipients is being used exclusively for the Purposes of the Trust. This can include visiting the locations where the work is being carried out for the public benefit. Any further donations received will be invested by the Trustees to maximise the financial returns and to provide additional funding to promote the Purposes of the Trust. The Trustees can request a report(s) from the funding recipients to demonstrate how the funding has been used to achieve the Purposes of the Trust.
