Public benefits
The Objects of Familylife Foundation: 1. To promote the Christian faith in the area of benefit Public benefit: The direct benefit that flow from this purpose include the advancement of the Christian faith; which offers hope, prayer, care and support primarily to those individuals and families affected by cancer in some form or other. These
beneficiaries find relief from their need by reason of age, ill-health, family breakdown, and education, by engaging in the many opportunities which are available in our support groups which are safe, hospitable and welcoming spaces. A private benefit to trustees may arise from the opportunity to speak at meetings but this would be incidental and necessary to promote the work of the charity. 2. Relieve suffering, sickness and distress among the inhabitants and families of the area of benefit without distinction of age, sex, political or religious or other opinion and in particular to offer Christian counselling and advice to people in need in the area of benefit. Public Benefit: The direct benefits that flow from this purpose include the provision of the following activities: - a series of support groups throughout the area of benefit, individual counselling, family counselling and group counselling; regular conferences with health professionals on relevant issues for cancer sufferers & those affected by family members suffering with cancer issues. The operation of these activities is a demonstration of non-denominational Christian service to the community. The beneficiaries of this purpose are people living throughout Northern Ireland. For an individual person who is diagnosing with cancer the fear of the unknown is initially immense, and the support and care given by others who have previously went through similar situations can be extremely worthwhile. An individual would benefit from private counselling, or by the support provided through participating in a support group. Attending conferences where professionals from the Health sector talk about the issues, physical and otherwise, providing information and advice on living with cancer, and cancer treatment. A private benefit flowing from this purpose is that gained by a trustee who may incidentally have a family member who would be able to avail of these services through the same opportunity as the public. There is no harm flowing from our purposes.
