Public benefits
There are a range of benefits and beneficiaries that flow from CAP’s work: Extended opportunities to actively participate in creative and cultural life of the community, enhancing skills and the capacity of people to exercise influence over culturally creative and artistic matters, increasing quality of life Enhanced and extended awareness of
creative opportunities, life and arts skills associated with community arts practice, promoting health and wellbeing Enhanced social inclusion, increasing the capacity of groups and individuals to access the beneficial attributes of arts activity, engagement, employment and production Enhanced access to free and/or affordable arts facilities, projects and support skills and capacity of local people to exercise influence over cultural and arts matters, particularly for those marginalised by personal, social or economic circumstance. The beneficiaries are members of the public and their community, primarily those resident in Northern Ireland, particularly but not exclusively those marginalised by socio-economic circumstance. Further beneficiaries are members of the public seeking information or support in developing their careers as artists or developing creative skills for themselves and their communities. These benefits are evidenced by the findings of community and social attitude surveys, internal and external evaluations, research on impact of CAP’s activities and those of other participating arts and cultural organisations, data on the numbers of people attending or participating in activities, events or performances and feedback from the participants, audiences and correspondents. No harm arises from these purposes. Some private benefit may be gained by businesses that print and publish materials or those that serve food and refreshments while arts activities and events are taking place, or in venues that host activity, but this is purely incidental and is greatly outweighed by the public benefit generated by these activities and events.
