Public benefits
1. Advancement of human rights at home and abroad: The benefits which flow from this purpose in relation to the advancement of human rights at home and abroad is to contribute to the development of human rights by taking part in public consultations organised by governments and public bodies and making representations in favour of victims and
survivors of terrorism at national, european and international level. The benefits are evaluated by way of assessments provided by the governments, public bodies and European institutions (e.g. MONNET Project supported by the European Commission). It is highly unlikely that there will be any adverse effect as a result of taking part in public consultations and making representations in favour of victims and survivors of terrorism. The benefits of the contributions and representations are for the people of Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom, the European Union and further afield. The private benefit flowing from the advancement of human rights at home and abroad is that received by members of staff and persons with the professional expertise required to prepare and submit contributions and make representations, as well as the increased knowledge and broader understanding of human rights issues at national and international level gained by the trustees. In both cases the private benefit is incidental as it comes as a result of the work carried out to achieve the purpose of the charity in serving the people. 2. Advocacy Service: The benefit which flows from this purpose in relation to the Advocacy Service is to bring effective assistance in the resolution of historical cases to achieve truth, justice, acknowledgment and contentment. The benefits are assessed by way of the evaluation and monitoring system that is in place, using target outputs and result and impact outcomes (e.g. Victims and Survivors Project 2013-2014 supported by the Victims and Survivors Service in Northern Ireland). The possible adverse effects of revisiting the past for the beneficiaries is addressed by the social support provided for them. The benefits of the Advocacy Service are primarily for victims and survivors of terrorism, given the campaign of terrorism that has taken place in Northern Ireland. The private benefit flowing from the Advocacy Service is that received by members of staff and persons with the professional expertise required to deliver the services, as well as by trustees who are themselves victims and survivors and whose cases are dealt with according to the same rules and procedures that are applied to any other beneficiary of the service and therefore the private benefit is incidental. 3. Advancement of education: The benefit which flows from the purpose in relation to the advancement of education is to provide educational and training courses, including seminars and workshops based on human rights, and to organise conferences for the furtherance of human rights. The benefits will be assessed by way of evaluations provided by students, attendees or beneficiaries at the end of each event (e.g. STRIPE Project: Human Rights Workshop). It is highly unlikely that there will be any adverse effect for those attending educational and training courses based on human rights. The benefits of the educational and training courses are for all interested members of the community in Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom and other countries. The private benefit flowing from the advancement of education is that received by members of staff and persons with the professional expertise required to deliver educational and training programmes based on Human Rights, as well as by trustees who take part in these programmes under the same conditions as those applied to any other beneficiary and therefore the private benefit is incidental.
