Public benefits
The public benefits that flow from the purpose of urban regeneration are:- (i) The creation of employment, training and work experience opportunities for residents living in economically and socially deprived areas and consequently a reduction in unemployment and financial hardship, leading to a better quality of life for the beneficiaries and
consequent improvements in health and well-being. (ii) Enhanced knowledge about setting up and running small businesses and social enterprises resulting in increased levels of self-employment and better prospects of sustainable development. (iii) Increased levels of knowledge and transferable vocational skills among employees / work experience trainees, assisting in the creation of a more educated, skilled and qualified community. (iv) A greater sense among the beneficiaries of more fulfilled and purposeful lives, resulting in a safer, more stable and cohesive community. The beneficiaries are the general public. These benefits can be evidenced in records kept internally and by public sector agencies of the number of jobs and work experience opportunities created and the numbers of those who have successfully completed training courses. Evidence can also be found in internal and independent evaluations of the activities and impact of the work of Townsend Enterprise Park Limited, community surveys of living standards and attitudes and feedback from the beneficiaries. Some private benefit is obtained by the owners of small businesses who rent units on favourable terms, but this is ancillary to the main purpose and is greatly outweighed by the gains in public benefit. No harm arises from these purposes. 2. The public benefit that flows from the purpose of promoting the work of the community and voluntary sector is the increased efficiency and effectiveness of these organisations, resulting in enhanced outcomes and service delivery and, consequently, an improved quality of life for those who benefit from their work. The direct beneficiaries are community and voluntary organisations, but the ultimate beneficiaries are members of the public who benefit from the services and work of these organisations. These benefits can be evidenced through evaluations of the work and impact of community and voluntary sector organisations and feedback from those they have assisted. No harm or private benefit arises from this purpose.
