turn promotes the development, education and experiences of young people. Further benefits include increased skills and knowledge, vocational opportunity and employment opportunity which in turn promotes personal development, education and experiences. Benefits are evidenced through feedback from beneficiaries, other charities and stakeholders that the trust engages with including through short briefings/presentations outlining experiences and outcomes for the trustees. This purpose does not give rise to any harm. the charity's beneficiaries are citizens in the Armagh Banbridge & Craigavon Council area who are in need by reason of age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage. A private benefit to the trustees may arise from ongoing programmes of training and good governance and finance management. Through these programmes, trustees may gain skills and experience which are transferrable to other settings. These skills are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to the right beneficiaries.

The trust was set up for the benefit of those citizens in the Armagh Banbridge & Craigavon Council area who are in need by reason of age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage. The trust is connected to the Lurgan branch of Rotary International, the world’s largest voluntary service organisation with more than 1.2 million
members in over 200 countries. Rotary Club members are volunteers, male and female and, from all walks of life, who work to benefit the local and international community. In doing so, members make a positive difference to the lives of others. Their work includes raising funds in support of worthy causes. Rotary, however, is not all about fundraising and there is also a very important social element to it. Membership of a Rotary Club provides an opportunity to meet others and develop friendships. The trust accepts donations and grants from the Lurgan branch of Rotary international and other donors specifically to help beneficiaries in the Armagh Banbridge & Craigavon Council area. It makes grants and donations, helps other charities/groups locally. The trust raises funds for specific projects in the Borough.
