Public benefits

Support - Direct benefit to carers or persons with a learning disability by reducing feelings of social isolation, stress and anxiety levels which can be demonstrated by positive feedback from beneficiaries by means of thank you cards, letters and telephone calls of appreciation. Possible harm is identified when there is a conflict between parties

but this is resolved when a favourable resolution is achieved. Advice – Direct benefit to beneficiaries is through historical advice from carers sharing the same problem and how they achieved success. This process gives beneficiaries encouragement to voice opinions and question statutory bodies on service requirements in the area of benefit. These benefits can be demonstrated through official Health Trust documentation and unmet need statistics. Guidance - Benefits beneficiaries through sharing experiences and expressing their views and to be publicly aware of their rights. This can be demonstrated by the positive advancement of environmental improvements in Housing, Respite needs, Residential replacements and Day care opportunities for beneficiaries. There is no harm or private benefit flowing from our purpose.
