Public benefits
Friends of St Brigid’s Association meet the public benefit requirement as follows: Purpose One (The advancement of community development) The direct benefit which flows from this purpose is the promotion of volunteering and developing and inspiring civic values and community activity with the Greater Shantallow Area. These benefits are evidenced
through increased numbers of volunteers and volunteering opportunities, feedback from volunteers and committee involved with events and training, focus groups and a regular evaluation of all work carried out. There is no harm flowing from this purpose. The beneficiaries are residents of all ages living within the Greater Shantallow Area. A private benefit may arise to committee members who may from time to time avail of training programmes in matters such as governance, but this is necessary for professional standards to be maintained to carry out the work of Friends of St Brigid’s Association and ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
