Public benefits

The direct benefits flowing from our purposes include the facilitation of regular public worship, that provides for the spiritual wellbeing of society and educates and encourages people in their Christian faith through Bible teaching, prayer and worship. The outcome of putting Christian teaching into practice will be the adoption of a moral

framework which encourages people to be good citizens and will also result in increased family stability. Our local community will benefit as we aim to deal with issues of addiction and sexual exploitation through services and events held at our centre and in other locations. We aim to alleviate those in poverty through the establishment of a hardship fund. Another direct benefit is the education of members of the community regarding the Christian faith and life. The welfare of the local community will be improved as we provide facilities for recreation and socialising. These benefits are demonstrated by the members of the public who attend our weekly worship gatherings and other events, and the feedback they provide. Another indication of these benefits is the reduction in, and prevention of, addiction and associated behaviour, as well as feedback from those whose hardships have been alleviated. The enhanced welfare of the local community is evidenced by people participating in recreational and social activities that provide an alternative to isolation or anti-social behaviour and lead to an improvement in social, emotional and physical wellbeing of participants. There is no harm arising from the purposes of Table Church The charity’s beneficiaries are the inhabitants of Tandragee particularly and Northern Ireland generally. Currently there is no private benefit flowing from any of our purposes although as the charity grows it may require the appointment of a financially supported pastor which is incidental and necessary to the continued growth of the church and the concomitant benefit to the local community.
