Public benefits

[What are the direct benefits flowing from your organisation's purposes?] The organisation will rescue and rehome stray or abandoned pets. This will give the public the opportunity to rescue an animal and give it a new home. It will also educate the public on the correct treatment of animals. The benefits from a companion animal for heath and

well being are well recognised . [How can the benefits identified above be demonstrated?] The evidence of this will be seen in a reduced number of animals destroyed in council pounds in Northern Ireland. The local councils responsible for animal welfare will have their costs reduced and this will have a commensurate affect on the rates. This will therefore benefit ratepayers. Exercising a pet and caring for it will improve both physical and mental health of the owners and therefore benefit society and the tax payer. [Is there any harm arising from any of the purposes?] None [Who are the charity's beneficiaries?] The general public who adopt companion animal for the charity; the local councils who have a reduced number of mistreated animals to look after; the ratepayers benefiting from reduced costs for their council and therefor lower rates. [Is there any private benefit flowing from any of the purposes? Is it incidental and necessary? None
