Public benefits
The benefits that flow from the objects are the provision of modern facilities that provide a welcoming venue for local and regional community groups and organisations to meet; with users being able to carry out recreational, educational and learning/skills advancement, social activities, culture and artistic activities in a manner which respect
and promotes equality and diversity promoting active citizenship and community development. These benefits can be evidenced by the increasing numbers of local and regional groups using the facilities run by the company on a regular basis and the positive feedback received from the users on the modern and welcoming facilities and service that the company provides. The beneficiaries and users bring a diverse mix of events including but not limited to Parent & Toddler groups, exercise classes, International nights, Luncheon clubs and numerous training and support events. Some private benefit is obtained by local businesses who use the facilities but this benefit is ancillary to the main purpose and is outweighed by the benefits to the local community. The expression of the precepts of the Christian religion through engagement with the general public, and in particular with the disadvantaged, the sick, the elderly and the young is a public benefit. This can be measured and evidenced through increased social integration and pastoral care delivered at the point of need. The direct benefit of participation in Church life includes the enjoyment of public worship and the giving and receiving of pastoral ministry, improved understanding of the values relating to civic engagement, community cohesion and providing a bridge between diverse groups as well as improved educational outcomes through the Church’s ministry of teaching. The beneficiaries are the general public, and the public valuation of the benefits can be evidenced through attendance at public worship, participation in Church governance and willingness to support through contributions the continuing witness of the Church. The wider benefit to the public will outweigh any detriment arising in the course of Christian outreach. Any private benefit arising out of the fulfillment of our Christian ministry or to lay staff is essential to the fulfillment of the purpose of the advancement of religion. No Trustee receives remuneration, reward or other private benefit for carrying out their Trustee responsibility.
