Public benefits
The direct benefits which flows from these purposes includes alleviation of chronic housing need, increased protection and preservation of the local community, promotion of family life with the provision of safe accommodation of a reasonable standard of living leading to less anti-social behaviour and possible hardship for future generations;
provision of accommodation and support services for the most vulnerable members of the local community e.g. older persons and persons with disability leading to reduced levels of stress and anxiety and promotion of social inclusion and community cohesion. Benefits are evidenced through feedback from tenants and independent evaluation by regulatory bodies including Department for Social Development (DSD). This purpose does not give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries of this purpose are people living in Northern Ireland who are experiencing poverty or those in need by reason of youth, age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage and their dependants. A private benefit to trustees may arise from our programme of ongoing training in good governance, finance etc. through this training trustees gain skills and experience which are transferable to other settings. These skills are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to the beneficiaries.
