Public benefits
The trustees believe that both our purposes satisfy both elements of the public benefit requirement. Purpose one The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include improved physical and mental health outcomes, increased levels of social support, reduced levels of stress, anxiety and feelings of isolation and loneliness. These benefits are
demonstrated through feedback from service users, quantitative and qualitative service impact monitoring, focus groups and independent evaluation and monitoring of our services by the Victims and Survivors Service. In providing support there is a risk of unintended side effects from the treatments however this is rare and the benefit outweighs the harm. The beneficiaries of this purpose are victims and survivors living in Northern Ireland who have suffered bereavement, physical and psychological injury as a result of the troubles and family members and carers of those victims and survivors. A private benefit to trustees may arise from our programme of ongoing training in good governance, finance etc. Through this training trustees gain skills and experience which are transferable to other settings. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries. Another benefit flowing from this purpose is gained by trustees who have suffered as a result of the troubles.
