Public benefits
Purpose 1 The direct benefits which flow from purpose 1 is that all forms of human trafficking and slavery may be prevented and reduced. These benefits are (will be) demonstrated through increased identification and rescue of victims of human trafficking in NI as demonstrated by government or PSNI statistics. Alternatively by a reduction in the
numbers of victims trafficked in NI due to it being an inhospitable country for trafficking, again, as evidenced by government or PSNI statistics. The purposes of our charity may lead to the following harm: (i) harm to our volunteers from the risk of encounters with those in the centre of the criminal activity of human trafficking We are putting in place policies to ensure that the risk of harm to our volunteers is minimal and we can show that this harm is outweighed by the benefit that human trafficking and slavery may be prevented and reduced - our purpose can lead to lives being saved and victims rescued who have currently no rights or liberty and no prospect of protection from harm. The charity’s primary beneficiaries are: victims and survivors of human trafficking and slavery as well as individuals who want to exit prostitution. The indirect beneficiaries are the members of the public who as a result of the objects of our charity live in a safer, fairer more just society and are themselves protected from the threat of trafficking/slavery. The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is to those who we give free awareness training to (e.g. PSNI, other NGOs in the sector, Schools, members of the public) and then the training that the trustees and/or volunteers get to enable them to carry out their roles within the organisation. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries and to help raise awareness so that PSNI and others are better able to identify victims of human trafficking and thereby rescue victims and prevent more being brought to NI by making it a less hospitable environment for traffickers. Purpose 2 The direct benefits which flow from purpose 2 is that victims and survivors of human trafficking and slavery are protected and are provided with assistance and support. These benefits are (will be) demonstrated through our annual reports, our accounts, client feedback, grant/funding applications. The purposes of our charity may lead to the following harm: (i) harm to our volunteers from the risk of encounters with those in the centre of the criminal activity of human trafficking. We are putting in place policies to ensure that the risk of harm to our volunteers is minimal and we can show that this harm is outweighed by the benefit that human trafficking and slavery may be prevented and reduced - our purpose can lead to lives being saved and victims rescued who have currently no rights or liberty and no prospect of protection from harm. The charity’s primary beneficiaries are: victims and survivors of human trafficking and slavery as well as individuals who want to exit prostitution. The indirect beneficiaries are the members of the public who as a result of the objects of our charity live in a safer, fairer more just society and are themselves protected from the threat of trafficking/slavery. The only private benefits flowing from this purpose is to those who we may need to engage to deliver the types of support envisaged at paragraphs (a) – (e) of Purpose 2 e.g. those who may receive payment for: the refuge of victims, the lawyers, counsellors, researchers and all/any other service providers. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure that the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.

Flourish is a charity in Northern Ireland dedicated to the support of people whose lives have been impacted by human trafficking or other forms of exploitation, including forced labour. By offering practical support and guidance to survivors of trafficking and exploitation, our aim is to empower them to move forward and build better lives and
assist in engaging fully within wider society. In addition we hope to support individuals who would like to leave prostitution by developing effective and individual exit strategies with realistic options. More than that, we offer compassion and friendship.
