Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include: raised confidence and aspiration of current pupils in integrated schools through engagement with past pupils acting as positive role models; increased educational, professional and social development opportunities for past pupils of integrated schools in Northern Ireland through an active
network of local alumni groups based in Northern Ireland and other parts of the UK; enhanced public awareness and understanding of the benefits of integrated education in Northern Ireland and its contribution to building a more reconciled and peaceful society, as demonstrated through a range of public engagement events and activities. These benefits are evidenced through a growing membership, feedback surveys undertaken with current pupils and staff of integrated schools, event feedback and annual review with members, annual report and reports to funders. This purpose does not lead to any harm. The direct beneficiaries of the charity include current and past pupils of integrated schools in Northern Ireland who engage with the charity’s events and activities. Indirectly, staff in integrated schools will benefit as the charity’s activities will support them in building the confidence, self-assurance and positive aspirations of their pupils. Family and friends of direct beneficiaries will also benefit through positive relationships with young people who are motivated, enthusiastic and outward looking about the future. The charity’s activities will also benefit other organisations involved in promoting the development and expansion of integrated education and will also lead to wider community benefit offering hope and opportunity to future potential pupils and their families and encourage respect for diversity within and across communities. Ultimately, the charity's activities actively contribute to and promote a more peaceful and compassionate world. There is no private benefit flowing from this purpose.
What your organisation does
Integrated AlumNI is a registered charity (NIC106805), forming a network of past students, ambassadors and campaigners of Integrated Education in Northern Ireland. We campaign and lobby for the further provision of Integrated Education in Northern Ireland and we have networks established in various locations in the UK, Ireland and overseas. We
support the work of the Integrated Education Fund (IEF) and the Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education (NICIE). Integrated schools bring together children and adults from all faiths and none, from Catholic, Protestant and other backgrounds in each school. The schools strive to achieve a religious balance of pupils, teachers and governors and acknowledge and respect the cultural diversity they represent. The integrated ethos is nurtured to ensure inclusion of people from different religions, cultures, genders, abilities and socio-economic backgrounds. Integrated AlumNI was established in 2013 as a network for past pupils from integrated schools to support the advancement of Integrated Education in Northern Ireland, and became a registered charity in 2017. Integrated Education encourages open-minded attitudes among pupils as well as building the confidence and ability to question, observe, listen and make informed decisions. Through a network of local groups, members provide a social support network for past pupils, particularly those moving away from Northern Ireland for work or further study. The network offers support and encouragement to current pupils by inspiring, mentoring and raising aspiration and helps to promote and advance Integrated Education through awareness raising events and activities. There are active groups in Northern Ireland and London, and active members across the UK, Europe, USA and other locations globally.
