Public benefits
The public benefits that flow from purpose 3a are: Practical support and advice for people who have suffered loss through suicide or self-harm, by way of: • 1-1 support, • monthly support group meetings, • practical advice, • complimentary therapies, • stress relief, • diversionary activities. These benefits are evidenced by: • feedback
from beneficiaries • official statistics • reports • numbers of people contacting the group and attending. These benefits will lead to family members coming to terms with their loss, reducing risk of further deaths by suicide and improved emotional wellbeing. We believe these purposes will lead to no clearly identified harm. The charity’s beneficiaries are families and friends from east Belfast and Castlereagh area who have suffered loss through suicide or anguish through self-harm by loved ones, and those who have serious suicidal ideation or attempted suicide. There may well be private benefits from the range of supports available. However these benefits would be incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries The public benefits that flow from purpose 3b are: • training • awareness raising • encouraging help seeking behaviour These benefits are evidenced by: • feedback from beneficiaries • official statistics • reports • numbers of people contacting the organisation • increased referrals for support from other organisations and to other organisations • monitoring and evaluation of training and awareness sessions • numbers attending awareness events e.g. event for World Suicide prevention day 2015 had approx. 150 participants These benefits will lead to the general public being aware of the signs and risks around suicide and self-harm, being able to identify sources of help and support, being able to ask loved ones if they are thinking about suicide and hopefully a reduction in the number of deaths in our community from suicide. We believe these purposes will lead to no clearly identified harm. The charity’s beneficiaries are the wider community from east Belfast and Castlereagh area who want to learn and play their part in reducing suicide. Also families and friends who have suffered loss through suicide or anguish through self-harm by loved ones, and those who have serious suicidal ideation or attempted suicide in an attempt to help themselves and change their patterns of behaviour, reduce the numbers of people dying by suicide and increase emotional wellbeing in the community. There may well be private benefits from the provision of training and the range of supports available. However these benefits would be incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
