Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from these purposes include the increased participation in Angling as a sport, leading to the improvement of health and wellbeing as well as social and environmental education; the improved conditions of life and integration of members of migrant communities and the enhancement of good community relations which
results from the organisations’ activities; the increase in wellbeing of vulnerable groups such as persons with mental health issues, the improved parent and child relationships and the impact on the confidence of parents and their positive parenting, the increased knowledge and respect for the environment, aquatic life, insect life and increased awareness of community and personal safety near water. This can be demonstrated through feedback from beneficiaries and partner agencies and data collected of activities, the annual accounts and reports of the organisation. There is no harm arising from the purposes. The charities beneficiaries are the members of migrant communities, school children, parents and their children, disadvantaged persons and communities that the charity engages with, and individuals who through involvement with the charity are able to practice angling as a healthy recreational activity which enhances their welfare and sense of wellbeing. The charity sometimes pays for the services of a fully qualified and certificated angling coach to teach angling skills, to undertake risk assessments and ensure that activities near the water are conducted in a safe manner with appropriate safety instruction, safety equipment available and children adequately supervised, but any personal benefit derived is an incidental and necessary consequence of the organisation undertaking its charitable activities and ensuring the health and safety of its beneficiaries.
