Public benefits

The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include: improved good / community relations, education, training, health and well-being outcomes, and reduced levels of social isolation, stress and anxiety, through the promotion of culture, arts, heritage and Ulster Scots language, music and dance, recreation, education and training. These

benefits are demonstrated through feedback from beneficiaries and attendees at our events, classes and activities using: evaluation forms, surveys, verbal feedback, and evaluation of our activities. There is no harm anticipated from this purpose. The charity’s beneficiaries are primarily the inhabitants of the Bawn area and its surrounding environs within Dungannon & South Tyrone Borough Council area. A private benefit to Trustees may arise from our ongoing services and programmes of arts, cultural, educational, leisure and recreational activities: information, training, events, and networking visits. Through this, Trustees gain services, cultural awareness, leisure activities, information, skills, and experience which are transferable to other settings, and which may benefit their own community, group or area. Our own Trustees receive information, services and activities in the same way as other beneficiaries, and are assigned support, information and services in the same ways as other beneficiaries. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
