Public benefits
The public benefits that flow from the purpose of promoting the welfare and well-being of all service and ex-service men and women from or living in Northern Ireland are:- (1) Improved coping skills to deal with the adjustment to civilian life; reduced levels of stress and anxiety, improved self-care and self-help strategies and enhanced
self-esteem and confidence leading to better mental, physical and emotional well-being; and enhanced employment prospects resulting in reduced levels of financial hardship. (2) Reduced levels of stress and anxiety on the part of family members and increased knowledge and understanding of the range of support services available and how to access them. (3) Diminished sense of isolation and heightened contact and engagement with family, friends and community. The beneficiaries are service and ex-service men and women from or living in Northern Ireland and their families and carers. These benefits can be evidenced by internal progress records kept by AA Veterans Support, feedback from the beneficiaries, evaluations of the work and impact of AA Veterans Support and ongoing research into the problems arising from adjustment to civilian life. No harm or private benefit arises from these purposes.
