Purpose The Youth Club is founded with the purpose of promoting, without distinction of sex, race, political, religious, disability or other opinion, the education and personal development of young people so that they may achieve their full potential as individuals and members of society and that their conditions of life may be improved. What
benefit flows from this purpose?

The beneficiaries of this purpose are children and young people as defined by Government policy in Northern Ireland who stem from across the city of Derry. Is there any private benefit? A private benefit to trustees and staff members may arise from our programme of ongoing training in good governance. Our Child protection and youth work training or any other training which is deemed necessary for the running of the overall club etc. Through this training trustees and staff members gain skills and experience which are transferable to other settings. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries. Is it incidental or necessary? The private benefit is that gained by a Trustee who may avail of the services offered in the Club. This benefit is incidental as Trustees are members of the community. Trustees may also gain skills and experience and an increased sense of well-being through their role as Trustees of Pennyburn Youth Club. Volunteers may gain an increased sense of well-being through their involvement in the centre, however this benefit is incidental and necessary to ensure benefit is provided to beneficiaries. Staff may gain opportunities to be involved in educational or recreational activities. This benefit is also incidental and necessary for the work of the organisation to take place.
