Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from the purpose of our organisation are an increased knowledge and awareness of Ulster-Scots re-enactments of our history and heritage within the Kingdom of Mourne, Ulster and beyond. Through training, workshops and events organised by the Schomberg Fife and Drum, many people both locally and from further afield
obtain experience and qualifications in the music, history and culture of the Ulster-Scots identity and enjoy many of the social activities associated with the group. These benefits are evidenced through the large numbers of people attending our events including concerts, summer schools, workshops, training courses and other activities which have been well documented in both the local press and media and through regular evaluations and monitoring. We can see no harm by any of the purposes of our charity. The charity’s beneficiaries are the general public in the Kingdom of Mourne, Ulster and beyond. The only private benefits from our purpose is that students and young people gain qualifications and the necessary experience required to become professional tutors.
... [more] [less]What your organisation does
The Schomberg Fife and Drum aims to promote greater awareness of Ulster-Scots culture essentially amongst young people. Through any of our workshops we offer we would hope to introduce young people to Ulster-Scots drama, music and culture. We would hope this will inspire and create young people to explore further Ulster Scots culture and identity.
We aim to facilitate our music workshops using qualified tutors who are highly experienced with this type of activity and we will be utilising local Ulster-Scots. As a result of this, it provides our students and learners with the best possible outcome and opportunity to improve and develop their learning and understanding of all that is best of our identity.
