Public benefits
In Northern Ireland, the benefits include but are not limited to better life outcomes for disadvantaged young people, better management of learning difficulties experienced by young people, less hunger experienced by underprivileged young people during school holidays, and a cleaner environment for County Down, including improvements to the River
Quoile. In Malawi, the benefits include fewer infant malaria deaths, fewer cases of teenage pregnancy, better education and care for orphans and better health outcomes across one district in the world’s poorest peaceful country. One of or more of our trustees visits the projects funded to ensure that the funds donated are properly applied and are delivering benefit. The benefits can be demonstrated by the results we and our partners deliver. For example, by all but eradicating childhood malaria deaths in Mulanje by supporting the practice of IRS spraying. Or by the numbers of children in Downpatrick, County Down, who with our support have not gone hungry during school holidays, when free school meals are not available to them. No. Our current delivery partners include Children in Northern Ireland, One Equine, Clean up the Quoile and the Mulanje Mission Hospital. The direct beneficiaries of our work are the disadvantaged populations of County Down and Mulanje. A private benefit to trustees may arise from trustee training programmes and from direct visits to projects through which they gain skills or experience which may be transferred to other settings.
