Public benefits
The benefits which flow from this purpose are:- advancing the education of the beneficiaries by the provision of safe and satisfying group play; allowing parents the right to become involved in the activities of the group; promoting the preservation of health of the beneficiaries; promoting a good standard of pre-school education and supporting
the values and principles of the Early Years organisation. The benefits are measured by the numbers of families making use of the facility and the records of child development kept by staff. An annual inspection is carried out by the Social Services Trust which requests feedback from parents and this forms part of the report. There are no harmful activities as health and safety is closely regulated by both the management team and Social Services with guidance from Early Years. The Charity’s beneficiaries are 3-5 year old pre-school children in the local area, without regard to religious affiliation or other beliefs of the families concerned. There is a private benefit resulting from any of our activities as the playgroup staff are paid for their services to the playgroup. This private benefit is incidental to the rest of the work of the organisation.
