Public benefits
The David Paul Cross Foundation confines itself to making exclusively charitable donations through the award of bursaries and grants to community projects, third party charitable organisations and individuals which are directly tackling issues that are causing political conflict, promote youth education, reconciliation and resilience within
Northern Ireland. It is through the activities of those other organisations and individuals that the public benefit is determined. The David Paul Cross Foundation will also mentor and advance community groups and charities which directly tackle issues that are causing political conflict; actively working towards an equitable and peaceful society while promoting the sustainable development of urban and rural communities. These benefits will be demonstrated through ongoing monitoring and evaluation of work being carried out. All grants will be assessed prior to being awarded, to ensure the purposes are fulfilled, and also to ensure that the benefits outweigh any potential harm. The beneficiaries of those charitable organisations, community projects and individuals will be our ultimate beneficiaries, which will usually be the general public and while specific grants may be more limited in scope, they will be assessed to ensure that the public benefit requirement is fulfilled. Through the assessment process we will satisfy ourselves that the recipient charities are charitable under the law of Northern Ireland. The Trustees are satisfied that the grant aiding of other charitable bodies, community projects and individuals does not lead to harm and no private benefit is ascertainable. The David Paul Cross Foundation confines itself to making exclusively charitable donations, through the award of grants and donations to third party charities and research bodies in Northern Ireland which are directly concerned with raising awareness of the early identification, treatment and prevention of skin cancer for the general public. This will provide a range of benefits to the general public (ie. Those who could be diagnosed earlier with cancer and their family members/carers). The actual benefits of research into, and raising awareness of the early identification, treatment and prevention of skin cancer includes: - Improved health outcomes and the opportunity to diagnose individuals much earlier-therefore improving their life expectancy. The benefits include, but are not limited to: - increased skills and knowledge about cancer signs and symptoms and the importance of early detection and early intervention - increased knowledge and understanding of the range of support services available to potential skin cancer patients both voluntary and community and how patients can access them. All grants and donations will be assessed prior to being awarded, to ensure the purposes are fulfilled, and also to ensure that the benefits outweigh any potential harm. The beneficiaries of those third party charities and research bodies will be our ultimate beneficiaries, which will usually be the general public and while specific grants may be more limited in scope, they will be assessed to ensure that the public requirement is fulfilled. Through the assessment process we will satisfy ourselves that the recipient charities are charitable under the law of Northern Ireland. It is through the activities of the third party charities and research bodies that the public benefit is determined. The Trustees are satisfied that the grant aiding of other third party charities and research bodies does not lead to harm and no private benefit is ascertainable.

By providing financial support we can help the local area to cope as well as to adapt to stresses and strains such as long-term demographic change, slow economic growth and poor access to housing or infrastructure and subsequently ensure more areas of public life are interconnected: Improved community life and encouraging people to be good
citizens. Skin cancer can be prevented through primary prevention – i.e. explaining to the public how to avoid these cancers – and also through secondary prevention favouring early diagnosis. Skin cancers and precursors to skin cancer are relatively easy to treat if detected early enough. We can help teach people what they should look for, raise awareness through public campaigns; and provide information on primary and secondary prevention thus saving lives, individuals becoming well as a result of receiving medical care and ultimately reduce the financial burden on our healthcare systems.
