Public benefits
The trustees believe that our 6 purposes satisfy both elements of the public benefit requirement. 1. The direct benefits that flow from this purpose include an increase in mentoring relationships that help develop self-esteem and work ethic among the beneficiaries. These benefits are demonstrated through feedback and evaluations from beneficiaries,
teachers or other relevant adults. There is no risk involved in this purpose. The beneficiaries of this purpose are young people in the Craigavon area, as the trustees see fit. A private benefit to trustees would be someone connected with them making use of the service, but this will only be the case if the referral has come from an external agency. 2. The direct benefits that flow from this purpose are an increased knowledge in the noted areas. This education leads to young people making informed lifestyle choices. These benefits will be demonstrated in a decrease in risk taking behaviour that will be evaluated by teachers and other relevant agencies. There is no risk involved in this purpose. The beneficiaries of this service are young people in full-time education in the Craigavon area as the trustees see fit. A private benefit to the trustees would be someone connected to them making use of the service. This would only be the case if it is being provided to a full year group or a referral has been made by an external agency. 3. The direct benefits that flow from this purpose will be a decrease in educational and social exclusion among young people. This will be demonstrated by a decrease in young people being excluded from mainstream education and an increased usage of youth provisions. This shall be evaluated using school records, and consultation with youth providers. There is no risk involved in this purpose. The beneficiaries are young people in the Craigavon area within mainstream education, as referred by education system and as the trustees see fit. A private benefit to the trustees would be a significant improvement in the education system and it providing specialised care, thus attracting people to live and work in the area. This an incidental benefit that comes from providing quality service. 4. The direct benefits that flow from this purpose are an increase in pastoral care for young people, supporting the mental and emotional development. These benefits will be demonstrated by pre and post evaluation forms and by consulting with referral agencies. The risk involved in this purpose is the emotional wellbeing of the service provider. Suitable mechanisms will be put in place to safeguard the service providers, the benefit of this purpose outweighs the risk. The beneficiaries of this service are young people referred through the local education system or other relevant agencies. A private benefit to the trustee would be that someone connected with them makes use of the service, this would only be the case if referral has happened by an external agency. 5. The direct benefits that flow from this purpose are an increase in civic responsibility within young people in the local community. This will be demonstrated through an increased uptake of young people volunteering and young people co-ordinating initiatives that play a positive impact on their community. This will be evaluated by keeping a record of young peoples community activity within the following year of programme participation. It will be essential to conduct a risk assessment of any corporate events and ensure that all protocols are adhered to. The benefit of this purpose outweighs the minimal risk. The beneficiaries of this purpose will be young people involved in the programme and the local community as a whole. A private benefit to trustees would be an increased positive working community, but this is an incidental benefit.
