Public benefits
The direct benefits are providing a safe space or escape for families/individuals bereaved by suicide. This means regardless of their financial situation they have this opportunity if they so wish. I lost my partner to suicide and from my own personal experience and speaking with other families in a similar situation an escape would of beneficial
to me as I felt trapped but I was not working so therefore I was not in a financial situation to have this luxury. No this will be solely on a referral only basis from other charities. Families bereaved by any traumatic event, especially those who have lost loved ones to suicide. No there is no private benefits.

The charity will carry out its purpose when enough money has been raised to purchase a static caravan to provide respite for those who need a safe place or escape while grieving. It has not been decided if it will be pitched at Castle Archdale in Fermanagh or in Donegal which are the two locations we have the opportunity with to date. This service
will be available free of charge and used solely for charitable use. This gives those who are not in a financial situation to get a break the opportunity if they wish to do so.
