Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from the purposes are increased learning, awareness and experience to enhance peaceful and non-violent changemaking for the benefit of individuals, groups and communities impacted by conflict and violence in divided communities in Northern Ireland, Ireland and conflict zones internationally. By developing approaches
and supporting initiatives which promote peaceful change, reconciliation and mutual understanding there will be direct benefits in building peaceful societies and improved relationships between divided communities. The provision of research, talks, seminars, conferences and initiatives promoting peaceful changemaking, human rights, social and economic justice will provide training, networking and educational opportunities to individuals and groups in areas of conflict. Through the provision of bursaries and fellowships there will be a direct benefit to individual peaceful changemakers though study, training and engagement with experienced peace builders in Northern Ireland. Through work in schools and the promotion of young people and leadership programmes we will support and promote the emergence of new peaceful changemakers in divided communities and societies in conflict internationally. The benefits are demonstrated through oral and written feedback from participants, independent evaluation, news reports, social media and documented in reports and case studies of work in areas of conflict. The purposes of our charity may lead to harm if there is opposition to the promotion of non-violent peaceful changemaking, but this will be outweighed by the benefits to people living in divided societies or conflict zones in creating more peaceful societies. The charity’s beneficiaries are people in divided societies in Northern Ireland and people affected by conflict internationally, in particular those committed to non-violence and peaceful changemaking, building good community relations, conflict resolution, minority, ethnic communities, those who feel disadvantaged, isolated or under-represented. A private benefit to trustees may arise through ongoing training in good governance, including finance etc. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure effectiveness and efficiency within the organisation which will directly impact positively on beneficiaries.
