Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include: preservation of Ulster Scots Culture and in particular Highland Dance. This in turn improves dance skills and promotes good / community relations, education, training, health and well-being outcomes, and reduced levels of social isolation, stress and anxiety, through the promotion of dance
and Ulster Scots, 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 dance tuition, music, arts, cultural, educational, leisure and recreational activities: information, training, events, and networking visits. Through this, Trustees gain services, dance tuition, cultural awareness, 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.
