Public benefits
The trustees believe that all of our purposes satisfy both elements of the public benefit requirement. Note: In the remainder of this document the term 22q is used to refer collectively to chromosome abnormalities in the 22q region including but not limited to 22q11.2 deletion, 22q11.2 duplication, Ring 22, 22q13 deletion, 22q13 duplication,
mosaic 22q deletion, mosaic 22q duplication, 22q distal deletion and Trisomy 22 The direct benefits which flow from purpose one include earlier and more accurate diagnosis, more suitable care plans and an increased likelihood of legislation being passed to benefit people affected by 22q in Northern Ireland. Sharing the latest data from conferences, lectures and seminars relevant to 22q empowers those affected by helping them to become a specialist in their own rare disease which can lead to earlier diagnosis of life-threatening conditions. These benefits are primarily evidenced through feedback from patients. Additionally legislation passed in the interest of those affected by 22q will be on public record. The beneficiaries of this purpose are people living in Northern Ireland who have been diagnosed with 22q and their family and friends. There is no private benefit flowing from this purpose. The direct benefits which flow from purpose two include reduction of stress and anxiety among people with 22q in Northern Ireland and their carers. These benefits are evidenced through feedback from patients. This purpose does not give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries of this purpose are people living in Northern Ireland who have been diagnosed with 22q. They also include family members and carers of those who are diagnosed with 22q.
