Public benefits
Purpose 1 - The direct benefits which flows from this purpose include improved quality of life, more developed educational and social skills, better health and well being, reduced stress on the disabled beneficiary and their family, a more independent life with greater integration with wider society with opportunities to have a more fulfilled
family life, to study, work and be part of the community. Potentially the disabled beneficiary could be exposed to some risk but benefits gained in terms of independence and self confidence and improved quality of life far outweigh any real or potential risk. Risk is mitigated by good support planning including contingency plans. These benefits are evidenced through feedback from beneficiaries and their families together with statutory agencies and the other organisations we work with. The beneficiaries are people with learning disabilities in Northern Ireland. Purpose 2 - The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include stimulating beneficiaries with profound learning difficulties who would not otherwise be stimulated or have the opportunity to develop; this can be demonstrated through improved quality of life, better health and wellbeing, reduced stress and beneficiaries with profound learning disabilities not having to travel long distances to receive this level and quality of care. The beneficiaries are people with profound learning disabilities in Northern Ireland. No harm arises from this purpose. Trustees and Employees are required to declare any conflict of interest that might arise.
