Public benefits
1) The Advancement of Health & Saving Lives The direct benefits which flow from purpose 1 are that through working with individuals inflicted with addiction, Davina’s Ark will help prevent relapses and incidents of self harm and suicide and the relief of anxiety, depression and the associated psychological trauma connected with addiction. These
benefits will be evidenced through evaluation feedback forms completed at the end of the programme by the centre users themselves, family members and or monitoring services (where a referral was in place) from other professionals also working with the individuals. 2) The relief of those in need by reason of youth, age, ill health, disability, or hardship The direct benefits which flow from purpose 2 are the provision of a safe, confidential, non-residential, aftercare service which will provide a range of tailored therapeutic programmes which will rediscover family relationships lost to addiction and offer emotional support, anger management and help develop and/or reintroduce social and life skills. Interaction with the individual and their family also relieves pressure on a lot of young carers in our society. These benefits will be evidenced through evaluation feedback forms completed at the end of each programme by the centre users themselves, family members involved in the process and or monitoring services (where a referral was in place) from other professionals also working with the individuals and or the family. 3) The advancement of education The direct benefits which flow from purpose 3 are the increased awareness within the entire society of the effects of addiction, the reduction of shame and stigma surrounding addiction and highlighting how addiction can impact on more than just the individual. also Increasing the education of the public provides hope to the centre users and reduces the shame and stigma attached to addiction. These benefits will be evidenced through feedback evaluation forms completed at the end of each programme by the centre users themselves, family members involved in the process and or regular monitoring services (where a referral was in place) from other professionals also working with the individuals and or the family. There is no harm flowing from the provision of these purposes. The charities beneficiaries are individuals regardless of age, race, religion, sexual orientation or gender and their families living within the Newry & Mourne region and surrounding district who are suffering from or affected by the effects of addiction. The only private benefit arising from these purposes is the practical experience and training that will be available to the volunteer counsellors and facilitators, some of whom are trustees. However this training is necessary and obligatory in order to provide the service and therefore this benefit is incidental.
