Public benefits
• Relief of poverty and financial hardship for serving and former members of the British Army (and their dependants) in Northern Ireland through grants or direct support for essentials such as housing, utilities, food, clothing, or emergency aid. • Promotion of physical and mental health and wellbeing, including assistance for injuries,
illnesses, trauma, or mental health challenges linked to military service or transition to civilian life. • Reduction of social isolation, distress, and disadvantage experienced by the armed forces community due to service-related circumstances. • Overall improvement in quality of life and stability for a section of the public who have served or are serving in the Army, contributing to the wider public good through support for those who have supported national defence. • Detailed records of grants and support provided, including anonymised case summaries, amounts awarded, and the specific needs addressed. • Beneficiary feedback collected via forms, surveys, follow-up calls, or testimonials showing how the support improved their situation (e.g. reduced debt, better mental health, or greater independence). • Annual reports and financial accounts clearly showing the proportion of funds spent on charitable activities and direct beneficiary support. • Evidence of partnerships or referrals with other organisations (e.g. Armed Forces charities, SSAFA, Veterans’ Agency, NHS services, or local councils) and any joint outcome reports. • Regular monitoring and impact evaluation processes, including before-and-after assessments where appropriate. • No harm arises from the purposes or activities. • The charity’s work is focused solely on relieving need and disadvantage within a clearly defined and sufficient section of the public (the Army community). • There are no negative effects on other individuals, groups, or the wider public. • Support is provided fairly and without discrimination within the beneficiary class. • Serving members of the British Army. • Former members of the British Army (veterans/ex-service personnel). • Dependants of the above (e.g. spouses, civil partners, children, or other immediate family members) where support to them is necessary to relieve the need of the primary beneficiary. • The beneficiary class is limited to those in need by reason of their (or their family member’s) connection to Army service, and is a sufficient section of the public as recognised in law for similar armed forces charities. • No private benefit flows to any individual, trustee, connected person, or private organisation. • All resources are applied exclusively for the charitable purposes to benefit the defined class of beneficiaries. • Any incidental benefit to family members (e.g. when supporting a veteran’s household) is necessary to achieve the relief of the primary beneficiary’s need and is not the main object of the charity. • No part of the charity’s activities is designed to provide personal profit or disproportionate advantage to any private individual.
