The key charitable purposes of the group are to improve the health of people affected by cancer (and their families/carers) and to provide relief from poverty where caused or exacerbated as a result of cancer-related ill-health. The charity exists for the benefit of citizens of East Antrim and surrounding rural areas. The direct benefits to
service users which flow from the above purposes include: 1.1 Access to welfare rights advice and information 1.2 Advice on how to access to professional assistance through the relevant agencies 1.3 Practical support services such as reimbursement of travel costs for hospital appointments or reimbursement for the cost of temporary home cleaners during periods of need 1.4 Access to psychological assistance / counselling via referrals to professional & qualified counsellors 1.5 Adhoc assistance as agreed by the committee agreement to provide specific and variable assistance personalised to the needs of individual service users. There is no harm associated with the deliverance of these benefits. The measurable outputs of the charities’ activities demonstrate substantial tangible benefits to the beneficiaries in the areas of practical, physical (health related recuperation) psychological and financial support. Service users are contacted for feedback (questionnaires) to assist in the evaluation of benefits to the users. In addition the charity also measures overall benefits based on the levels / numbers of service users recorded for all assistance provided. All services are provided free to beneficiaries at the point of delivery. The Committee receive no private benefit for their involvement in the charity unless a member of the committee become affected by cancer themselves. This is incidental and necessary because the charity exists for the benefit of all those people living with cancer in East Antrim and surrounding areas.
