Public benefits
Through the work of Extern we ensure that more families stay together, less children enter into care and that there are better outcomes for young people and families. Through our work with ex offenders we reduce the likelihood of re-offending, therefore creating safer communities. We support those with mental ill health and/or addictions issues
through a harm reduction approach in order to create safer and healthier communities. These benefits can be evidenced by records kept by our various funders and commissioners including the five Health and Social Care Trusts, the Public Health Agency, the European Social Fund, Probation Board Northern Ireland and the Northern Ireland Prison Service. Further public benefit can be determined through various independent external evaluations, our own qualitative and quantitative data collation alongside our service user’s feedback. There is no harm arising from the purposes. The beneficiaries are young people, families, people who are homeless, people with addictions/mental ill health, refugees and ex offenders There is no private benefit flowing from the purposes.
