Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from purpose include enabling the users to have a more enjoyable respite or rehabilitation stay whilst enabling them to regain independence and an overall health improvement outcome. These benefits are and will continue to be demonstrated through ongoing feedback from users and ongoing evaluation by the medical
staff at Altnagelvin Hospital. The purposes of our charity will not lead to any harm to the users of Spruce House. The charity’s beneficiaries are service users of Spruce House who are people with physical disability needing respite or rehabilitation care. The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is training for the Friends of Spruce Committee and this is incidental and necessary to ensure good governance and fundraising skills. It may also be necessary to fund special training for Spruce House medical staff where this funding is not available from the WH&SCT where this will benefit the users of Spruce House.
