Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from purpose includes access to facilities and activities to improve health and wellbeing, reduce the isolation of blindness. These benefits are demonstrated through feedback from participants and beneficiaries and by the level of uptake of services. The purposes of our charity will not lead to any harm. The
charity’s beneficiaries are people living in the Down area. A private benefit to trustees may arise from our programme of ongoing training programmes. Through this training trustees gain skills and experience which are transferable to other settings. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries, enhancing the quality of life for the blind and visually impaired people of the group.
