Public benefits

(1) The direct benefit which flows from this purpose is to build confidence, improve knowledge and understanding enabling everyone to take a more active role in the community in which they live. It enables people to engage in musical and social activity, thereby learning new skills and affording them the opportunity to further develop interaction

within the local community. The beneficiaries of this purpose are people living in the Poyntzpass area and its environs. The benefits are evidenced by regular feedback from members and participants in the learning and tuition programmes. This purpose does not give rise to any harm. A private benefit may arise from tuition and learning programmes where members gain skills which are transferable to other settings, such as solo competitions. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to as many beneficiaries as possible.
