Trustees’ Report for the year ended 30* June 2025
In Compiling this Report the Trustees have had regard to the Northern Ireland Charity Commission’s Public benefit requirements statutory guidance.
Objectives and Activities
Bbeyond was set up to advance the education, participation and promotion of performance art in Northern Ireland. Bbeyond sets out to achieve this by raising awareness amongst its membership, the artistic community and the general public, through our Performance Monthly meetings, Exchanges with different countries, Workshops, Talks, Lectures, Discussions and the disseminating of this information through Electronic Media, Publications and Archives, It also works closely with Ulster University and Queens University to achieve these aims.
Public benefit Statement
- The direct benefits which flow from the Bbeyond purposes to its beneficiaries are: - Greater knowledge, understanding and appreciation of performance art - Opportunities to participate in performance art events, workshops and discussions - Opportunities to engage with a wide range of performance art practitioners and enthusiasts
The direct benefits are capable of being demonstrated, proven or evidenced via: - Research/Surveys/Questionnaires undertaken with Bbeyond members and the general public - Increased participation in performance art activities by Boeyond members and the general public - Increased membership of Bbeyond
There are no harms that may arise from the purpose.
The private benefits that may arise incidentally to the carrying out of the purposes include a sense of well being, mindfulness and enhanced self awareness amongst both participants and audiences alike. Whilst modest membership and workshop fees are sometimes charged to beneficiaries concessionary rates are available for those in receipt of state benefits to ensure accessibility for ail, regardiess of income. Furthermore, a wide range of free information is available on both social media and within the organisational archives. Finally, the opportunity to engage in performance is available to all at no cost on a monthly basis.
