The purposes of our charity may present a child safeguarding risk associated with certain activities provided to the local community. A robust child protection policy, access NI checks and training are all used to mitigate this risk. The beneficiaries are the general public, and the public valuation of the benefits can be evidenced through attendance at public worship, participation in Church governance and willingness to support through contributions the continuing witness of the Church.The wider benefit to the public will outweigh any detriment arising in the course of Christian outreach. The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is a wage paid to a pastor and this is incidental and necessary because the activities and duties carried out by the pastor are essential to the fulfilment of the purpose.
