Public benefits

The direct benefit from the charity’s purposes is that people’s lives will be enriched by awarding grants or providing donations to charities, voluntary led organisations and individuals who are in need or who work with people or communities in need in furtherance of our charitable purposes. All grants will be awarded on the basis of evidence of

need provided through our grant application process These benefits will be evidenced through the number of grants and donations that are made. All organisations that receive a grant will be required to demonstrate how the grant has benefited those in need. They will be required to complete a monitoring and evaluation form which will be reviewed by the charity. The purposes of the charity do not lead to any harm. The beneficiaries are primarily people and voluntary organisations in Northern Ireland but may from time to be anywhere in the world depending on charitable need identified. There is no private benefit flowing from any of these purposes.
