## **7. Public Benefit Reporting** 

The Trustees have had and continue to have, regard to the Charity Commission’s Public Benefit requirement statutory guidance. 

_Purpose 1:_ To advance the education of pupils in the school 



The direct benefits which flow from this purpose are increased educational progress and
attainment of pupils within the school and links built with the local community. These
benefits are evidenced by pupils having access to resources, events, activities and links with
the local community, which are not available through direct school funding.

school.
The dirert benefits which flow from this purpose include funding for additional resources
for the school and links built with the local community. These benefits are evidenced by
having an active PTA that works in partnership with the school and engages parentsl
supporL
These purposes do not lead to any harni and the benefit is for children at Ballinderry
Primary School and nursery uniL Charity Trustees are usually also parents at the school,
which their children attend and hence gain benefit in the same way as all other
beneficiaries. Any benefit is incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to all
beneficiaries.
8. Future Plans for 19120
The school is growing every year and extra space to teach would be beneficial. We could not
afford a new building but an outdoor classroom or teaching space might be a good
investmenL
In the past we have run a couch to sk programrne and this year did an adults Netball club.
These are very popular with the community, promote healthy lifestyles and raise a little bit
of money too. It would be nice to run a fitness prograrnrne each year.

Charity Commission guidance. the CharitiesAct (Northern Ireland) 2013, the Chorities
