Public benefits
The purposes of the Ulster Museum of Sport fit within a number of those required by the Charities Act including:- • The advancement of education; • The advancement of the arts, culture, heritage or science. The public benefit, applying to potentially overlapping segments of a broad cross-section of beneficiaries (as evidenced by 100,000 visitors
to our travelling exhibition), each might be summarised as:- • Providing a museum / galleries to educate and inform about the many great achievements of Ulstermen and women. • Providing inspirational sporting role models to encourage healthy and active lifestyles or even elite performance; • Providing a physical centre to encourage urban regeneration and a focal point for educational establishments and broader community organisations; • Providing a spotlight on popular heritage not adequately documented / preserved / presented by the existing heritage providers; • Providing a stimulus to encourage all aspects of sport (from participation to performance); and • Providing a shared space in which communities of various persuasions learn about inspirational heroes which unite us all. In all instances, the public benefit might best be characterised as celebrating the past and inspiring the future. The Ulster Museum of Sport will continue to pursue evidence-based assessments which demonstrate both the level of public engagement and reflect society views for improvement. This will include the ongoing assessment of public attendance at the travelling exhibition and the use of “Have you say” cards soliciting public feedback.
