Public benefits
The direct benefits flowing from the organisations purposes are providing a facility in which the participants can use thus increasing the skills of the participants, increased activity and improving the physical & mental health and wellbeing of the participants. Participating in the various activities also reduces social isolation. With the
numbers attending the various activities it encourages people to come forward as volunteers which give them increased abilities and even helps prepare for various jobs in the Public/Private sector. (e.g Child Protection Training/First Aid/Basic Hygiene Training). The benefits from the purposes are evidence by consultation with participants using both verbal & written questionnaire/surveys. Members feedback into the committee who meet monthly to monitor the various programmes organised. We also monitor attendance at courses using sign in sheets and evaluation of courses/training using questionnaires at the end of the training. Participants benefit from the following outcomes - improved social interaction, improved educational attainment & skills thus increasing employment opportunity, improved capacity of volunteers, increase mental & physical health & wellbeing of participants. There is no harm arising from any of the purposes. The direct beneficiaries are those attending the courses/classes & events organised by the group. The main beneficiaries live in the Coolcreaghy area and its environs. Indirect beneficiaries are the families of those that attend as they will benefit from the learning shared by the individuals, eg first aid - knowing what to do for burns/scald victim maybe shared with others in the household. The private benefit is incidental & necessary to increase the purposes of the organisation. The only private benefit is committee members that attend courses/classes and therefore benefit from upskilling in the same way as other clients would.
