Public benefits

The public benefits which flow from our purposes include improved health outcomes, improved community relations, additional skills through re-training programmes, improved feeling of inclusivity and better access to services – all leading to reduced levels of stress and anxiety. These benefits are demonstrated through through participant feedback

from educational, recreational and leisure classes. Volunteer events such as litter pick were publicised in the local press promoting litter ambassadors in the local council area. There is no harm flowing from our purposes. The beneficiaries are the inhabitants of Seskinore and the local area and to all visitors to the area. A private benefit to trustees may arise from our ongoing training in good governance. Through this training, trustees gain skills & experience which can be transferable to other settings. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
