PUBLIC BENEFIT
The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include: the provision of educational and recreational facilities during out of school hours to improve Children’s education and wellbeing. This promotes improved health and wellbeing outcomes, increased social inclusion, reduces anxieties and increases socialising, cooperation, good community relations, skills and confidence which will improve circumstances and opportunities.
These benefits are demonstrated though feedback from beneficiaries, parents and teachers and attendees at our events and activities use evaluation forms, surveys and verbal feedback. There is no harm anticipated from this purpose. The charity’s beneficiaries are primarily all the children who attend Richmond primary school.
A private benefit to trustees may arise from our ongoing services and programme of leisure and activity: information, events, trips and sports activities. Through this trustees gain services, leisure activities, information, skills and experience which are transferrable to other settings which may benefit their own community group or area.
THANKS
Can we record out thanks to all the parents who continue to get involved and support the work we do and thanks to Mr McIlwaine and the staff of Richmond PS for their support.
