Public benefits
The group meet a public benefit by carers being able to share their experiences together benefiting their social, emotional and mental well being. The group facilitates respite for their members to ease their stress levels sustained whilst carrying out their carer duties. By attending the group the members rely to a much lesser extent on GP
appointments and the NHS in general. Group members also benefit from information sharing in relation to other community groups and services available. These benefits have been demonstrated from positive evaluations with carers and also the people they care for, and by the varied social activities and events organised to cater for their needs. There is no harm or private benefit flowing from these purposes. The beneficiaries are the carers, the people they care for and their friends.
