Purpose of Women in Sport & Physical Activity: to provide women with increased opportunities to participate in healthy recreational activities in Belfast. The direct benefits which flow from the purpose include improved health and wellbeing outcomes, enhanced mental health, increased self-esteem and reduced stress and anxiety. These benefits are
demonstrated through extensive government research and statistics, local health authorities’ strategies and feedback from our beneficiaries gained through the regular evaluation of our services. In providing exercise programmes there is a risk of minor injury which may occur through increased participation in physical activity. This harm is outweighed by the benefits of improved health. The risk of injury is mitigated by way of health check assessments and guidance from fully qualified coaches in the correct use of equipment and training techniques within health and safety guidelines. The charity’s beneficiaries are women residing in Belfast The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is the use of self-employed instructors/coaches who deliver the programmes. This benefit is incidental and necessary. Without payments to qualified coaches and instructors the sessions would not be able to take place. There are no private benefits affecting the trustees.
