Public benefits

The advancement of the precepts of the Christian religion through engagement with the general public, and in particular with 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 improved

educational outcomes through the Church’s ministry of teaching, the giving and receiving of pastoral care, improved understanding of the values relating to family support and care, social integration and the inclusion of those on the margins of society, including support for the relief of poverty worldwide. The beneficiaries are the general public, and the public valuation of the benefits can be evidenced through attendance at public worship and other church events 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 fulfilment of our Christian ministry or to lay staff is essential to the fulfilment of the purpose of the advancement of religion. No Trustee receives remuneration, reward or other private benefit for carrying out their Trustee responsibility.
