Public benefits
The ARN Foundation aims to support third party charitable organisations that help those most in need. The direct benefits which flow from the purpose are the improvement in health in the general population and provision of support and relief for those in need or disadvantaged, the increase in employment opportunities and social inclusion for those
who are disadvantaged by reason of youth, disability or financial hardship and the advancement of community relations and projects. Support will be provided to such charitable bodies by way of grants to fund medical research, end of life care, humanitarian aid, health awareness and promotion projects, emotional and financial support to patients and families, projects to improve healthcare and research into a number of diseases affecting the public generally or which aim to improve the comfort and wellbeing of patients though the provision of care, residential facilities and advice. The direct benefits which flow from our purposes are the financial contribution to or for the benefit of any institution which is a charity as defined by the law of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. In accordance with the terms of the Articles of Association, The ARN Foundation confines itself to making donations to other charitable organisations and it is through the activities of those other organisations that the public benefit is determined. All grants will be assessed prior to being awarded, to ensure the purposes are fulfilled, and also to ensure that the benefits outweigh any potential harm. Through the assessment process we will satisfy ourselves that the recipient charities are charitable under the law of England, Wales, Northern Ireland or Scotland. The Trustees are satisfied that the grant aiding of other charitable bodies does not lead to harm. The beneficiaries of those charitable organisations will be our ultimate beneficiaries, which will usually be the general public. The Trustees are satisfied that no private benefit is ascertainable.
