Public benefits
Our purpose directly benefits the community by encouraging people to engage in physical activity which results in increased physical and mental health. These benefits can be evidenced by people having a healthy lifestyle, free of illness and any health problems associated with obesity. Engagement in physical activity can promote self esteem and
emotional resilience. The SAPAS report from Sport NI (2010) stated that involvement in sport can control weight, reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, increase chance of living longer and improve mental health and mood. This purpose does not lead to harm. The beneficiaries are the participants themselves and their families. Private benefit flowing from this would be toward government who have to spend less money on health services as a result.
