environment in which they can learn through play and that each child will be helped to develop their own unique set of qualities and talents to their full potential.

The purpose of the Playgroup is beneficial and there is no harm. The beneficiaries of this purpose are the children who attend the Playgroup. In relation to all of the above, a private benefit to trustees and staff may arise from training in good governance, finance, child protection, first aid, etc. Through this training, skills and experience are acquired which are transferable to other settings. These benefits are incidental and necessary because to ensure standards of care are achieved the training must be fulfilled and certificates received on completion must be put on public show.
