Public benefits
The direct benefits that flow from the purpose is the outcomes associated with advocacy for marginalised community groups and organisations to secure provision of social services, educational and recreational activities. These benefits are evidenced through programme feedback in terms of Social Impact Tracking and also independent evaluators who
contact user groups. Another direct benefit that flow from purpose is the information relayed to communities by way of organising and assisting with information events and the dissemination and publishing of these events and findings making a better informed and educated community. These benefits are evidenced through sustainability of groups and increased skills of individuals. Another direct benefit that flow from the purpose is the training in capacity building of groups and individuals in management structures of people from Lisburn PSP communities to enable local project management and an enhanced sense of community. These benefits are evidenced through increased attainment in education, engagement in civic structures and progression up the participation ladder. A further direct benefits that flow from purpose is the increased investment and increase in employment from the development of skills and volunteers in communities leading to greater community morale. These benefits are evidenced through increased employment of local people from disadvantaged communities and the reallocation of profits into community based regeneration activities. The charities beneficiaries are people living in disadvantaged communities within Antrim, Armagh and Down and who suffer from barriers to engagement such as poor health, long term unemployment, poor educational attainment, anti-social behaviour (especially older people), and people on low income. The risk is raising expectations for people and then a reduction in income or funding that may cut services. This is limited by Lisburn PSP’s ability to build capacity. Another risk in this type of activity is based upon community and political stability which may deteriorate. This is limited by a constant engagement through consultations with community through existing consultation models such as Inter Agency meetings and neighbourhood community association meetings. The only private benefit is through capacity building and governance and compliance training.

Lisburn PSP is a community owned and community led organisation which aims to bring about long term social, economic and environmental change within deprived communities in Lisburn through creating greater levels of collaboration and partnership working between communities, creating the conditions to attract investment and enable local
organisations to address a myriad of challenges that impact their quality of life. We have ambitious plans for our organisation, which we feel connects communities across Lisburn and will drive community, youth, social and economic development for many years to come. Lisburn PSP works with community-based organisations across both Lisburn North and Lisburn South. We are a non-political organisation but feel that it is extremely important to build alliances and relationships with all locally elected representatives across all political divides. Equally we want to reach out and build good working relationships with statutory, community and voluntary sectors in Lisburn and wider afield. Some of the areas we are currently working in include: Peacebuilding; Youth; Women; BME Support; Older People.
