Public benefits
CDM Community Transport (CDM) provides relief of those in need by reason of youth, age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage through the provision of community led access solutions in the Cookstown and Dungannon areas. CDM meets our charitable purposes through the provision of wholly charitable transport solutions for
beneficiaries who are unable to access conventional public or private transport because of age, rural location, mobility issues and poverty. The benefits flowing from the purposes include improved mental health, Improved access to basic services such as shopping or recreational, over-coming social exclusion and poverty with reduced levels of stress and anxiety. Beneficiaries include people who are: elderly, poor, disabled, people with young children, or those living in isolated areas and for community organisations, where there are no adequate public transport facilities. Benefits to members are demonstrated through regular feedback via questionnaires from users, volunteers and staff in addition to stakeholder engagement events – the advancement to overcome social exclusion and improved wellbeing of members is evident. The purposes of the charity may lead to harm where users become unduly reliant on drivers or where there is a risk while working one to one. This is outweighed by the benefits through good governance, health and safety policies and thorough training. There is no private benefit to individuals.
