Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from the purpose is the education of young people and adults to help them develop their musical talents in a responsible environment and helping them acquire a sense of achievement by displaying their talents in public at numerous functions. These benefits are demonstrated by the ability of the members to turn out
in a respectable manner to play music and the attendance and support of the public at these functions as well as the continued repeat requests for the band’s presence. The main beneficiaries of this purpose are those who train and acquire skills in music and related activities of the band together with the members of the public who attend the various functions looking for good entertainment. A private benefit to trustees may arise through their skills and experience acquired through our training programme and which may be transferrable to other settings, these benefits are necessary to ensure that the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
