Public benefits
Objects of the Society include educating the public in dramatic and operatic arts, to further development of public appreciation and taste in said arts regardless of age, sex, race, political, religious or other opinion in the Causeway Coast and Glens area. Benefits flowing from purposes are enhanced participation by ordinary individuals,
development, appreciation of and attendance of arts and particularly enhanced self-esteem, confidence, communication skills, concentration and coordination amongst participants; improved health and wellbeing; greater engagement between communities; increased capacity of individuals and communities in respect of arts and performance; acquisition of musical theatre skills and creation of employment pathways and reduction in negative impacts of social exclusion. We operate to recognised professional standards to inspire our volunteers to increase transferable skills. Other benefits include volunteer training in health/safety, child protection, performance skills, costume/stage craft, scenery production, and make up. Direct benefits which flow from our purposes includes: increased engagement/promotion of public understanding, accessibility, appreciation and enjoyment of arts, encouragement and development of local volunteers of all ages and abilities to develop new skills, talent and creativity and encourage employment; increased engagement and education of children and young people to access, appreciate and enjoy arts and culture laying the foundation for future creativity. Benefits flowing from purpose include promotion of enjoyment, understanding and advancement of the arts and science of music, dance, movement and theatre, for the benefit of general public in Causeway Coast and Glens area through performing or as an audience member or physical in the art and science of music, dance, movement and theatre. These benefits are evidenced through regular internal and external qualitative assessment; regular collation of quantitative data on charitable activities, audiences, and participation; photo and video documentation; regular reporting of charitable activities and financial performance in annual reports, audited annual accounts, and reports to grant funders. The possibility of harm, for example by physical injury incurred by participation in musical performance, dance, movement and theatre, is outweighed by the benefit and significantly reduced by the policies and procedures in place to address such risks, for example safeguarding and child protection policy, risk assessment, health and safety policy, code of conduct for staff and volunteers. The charity's beneficiaries are the general public in the Causeway Coast and Glens Council Area. A private benefit to trustees may arise from our programme of ongoing training in good governance, finance etc. Through this training trustees gain skills and experience which are transferable to other settings. These skills are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to the beneficiaries.
