St. Joseph's PFA Carryduff

Public benefits

The benefit which flows from the organisations purpose includes funding for additional resources for the school and links built with the local community, increased educational progress and attainment of pupils in the school and links built with the local community and enhancement of the local community, with relationships being built between the

school and the community, promoting an inclusive environment for all. These benefits are demonstrated through having an active PFA that works in partnership with the school and engages parental support, through pupils having access to resources, events, activities and links with the local community which are not available through direct school funding and through well-attended events being held that include not just school members, but also those from the wider community. There is no harm arising from the purpose. The beneficiaries of our services are the pupils, staff and parents/guardians of St Joseph's Primary School and Nursery Unit, Carryduff and the local community. No private benefit flows from the purpose of our organisation.
