Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include: preservation of brass band music, improved instrumental skills and talents, and good / community relations, education, training, health and well-being outcomes, and reduced levels of social isolation, stress and anxiety, through the promotion of music, brass bands, culture, arts, heritage,
recreation, education and training. These benefits are demonstrated through feedback from beneficiaries and attendees at our meetings, events, classes, and cultural activities using: evaluation forms, surveys, verbal feedback, and evaluation of our activities. In providing a local point of social contact and activities for the community benefit there is no possibility of harm out weighing the benefit - there is no harm arising from any of the purposes. The charity’s beneficiaries are primarily the inhabitants of Dungannon and its surrounding environs within the Dungannon and South Tyrone area of Mid Ulster District Council. A private benefit to Trustees may arise from our ongoing services and programmes of tuition, music, arts, cultural, educational, leisure and recreational activities: information, training, events, and networking visits. Through this, Trustees gain services, tuition, cultural awareness, leisure activities, information, skills, and experience which are transferable to other settings, and which may benefit their own community group or area. Our own Trustees receive information, tuition, services and activities in the same way as other beneficiaries, and are assigned support, information and services in the same ways as other beneficiaries. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries
