Open Heart Foundation

Public benefits

The charity trustees believe that our purpose satisfies both elements of the public benefit requirement. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include an enhanced quality of life and sense of wellbeing for individuals living in poverty. These benefits can be demonstrated by successfully delivering humanitarian aid and assistance to

individuals in need. These benefits will be further evidenced by feedback from individuals and partner organisations. There is potential for harm in sending volunteers to dangerous parts of the world. This is mitigated by carrying out risk assessments and having policies in place to protect them and is necessary to achieve our purpose. The charity's beneficiaries are children and families living in any country of the world who have been exposed to poverty. There is no private benefit flowing from this purpose.

What your organisation does

This purpose is carried out by providing grants of money, items and services internationally to individuals in need and/or charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty.
