Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include, a better recognition of independent living and of disabled people’s right to have the same provisions as the rest of society. Disabled people will be better placed to avail of opportunities to attend open air or pop-up events, carnivals, concerts etc. with confidence to manage their own
support. This purpose does not lead to harm. These benefits are evidenced through feedback from user comments and photographs taken. Beneficiaries are disabled people in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, regardless of age or impairment. A private benefit may arise for employees who receive pay, training and personal development, and for Trustees who benefit from training and personal development; however, these benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include improved quality of life, better health and wellbeing, reduced stress on the disabled person and family members, opportunities to have a family life, to study, work, and to be part of the community. The disabled person could be exposed to some risk by using the access equipment from potential physical injury from falling should access equipment failure occur and these are mitigated by regulated testing of equipment. But the benefits gained in terms of autonomy, choice and improved quality of life outweigh any real or perceived risk. Risk can be mitigated by good risk assessment for each event. There are no fees charged to the beneficiary.
