The County Armagh Protestant Orphan Society

Public benefits

The public benefit flows from the purposes of the Society in that the Society will provide direct financial benefit to the target group outlined in the purposes i.e. young people identified as members of the Church of Ireland who have been orphaned, are in full time education and who attend Sunday school. This financial aid will benefit the

recipients and is provided to relieve any financial stresses caused by the fact that the young person has been orphaned and thereby possibly deprived of education pathways, normal life opportunities and appropriate resources. The grant will therefore assist with the enhancement of well being, knowledge and understanding in the target group of young people who have sadly been orphaned. The beneficiaries therefore are ‘Young people who are members of the Church of Ireland and have been orphaned’. The benefit is demonstrated by feedback from the Rector of the Parish and/or the guardians of the young person. The benefit is ‘beneficial’-not ‘harmful’. There is no private benefit.
