Friends of St Dallan's

Public benefits

Purpose 1 – direct benefits: Friends of St Dallan’s will raise funds to provide extra resources and facilities (not normally provided by the Education & Library Board) for the benefit of pupils at St Dallan’s Primary School in Warrenpoint. Benefits are demonstrated through the amount of money raised per year, the purchase of resources for the

benefit of the school community, feedback from children, parents and teachers. The purposes of our charity will not lead to any harm. The charity’s beneficiaries are children and families of children attending St Dallan’s Primary School in Warrenpoint. Private benefit to trustees may arise from our fundraising as all trustees are parents / guardians of children attending the school. Through volunteering as trustees, individuals may also gain skills and experience which are transferable to other settings. These are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
