Public benefits
The Club was established to advance public education in the art of flower arranging and related subjects in the Banbridge and Craigavon areas, and to further any other charitable purpose or purposes. This will be carried out without distinction of age, gender, disability both physical and mental, sexual orientation, nationality, ethnic identity,
class, marital status, political or religious opinion, ill health, financial hardship or other disadvantage. The Club operates within the Banbridge and Craigavon Areas, (hereafter called the area of benefit). The direct benefits, which flow from this purpose, include: learning a new skill, reduction in social isolation, reduced anxiety and stress, mental stimulation, increased enjoyment of life, the promotion of participation by, and the integration of those with a disability, and an overall improved appreciation of flower arranging and floral art. The beneficiaries are the general public within the Craigavon and Banbridge areas. The public valuation of the benefits can be evidenced through attendance at the Club; participation in Club governance; the willingness to enter and promote the Club at external floral competitions; general support at Club social events and feedback from members. The wider benefits to the public will outweigh any detriment arising in the course of Club activities. A possible private benefit to trustees flowing from this purpose is the gaining of skills and experience, which are transferable to other settings such as demonstrations within other community groups. This benefit is incidental and essential to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries. There is no harm arising from this purpose.
