Public benefits
The trustees believe that our purpose satisfies both elements of the public benefit requirement. Our purpose is to preserve and protect the health and well-being of those people suffering with mental illness in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland by offering a Drop-In Centre and the provision of free counselling, support, assistance and
encouragement. The direct benefits which flow from preserving and protecting the health and well-being of those suffering with mental illness in Northern Ireland include improved mental health and well-being levels amongst those living with mental illness in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland and raising public awareness of mental health by providing free, counselling, support and assistance in our Drop-In Centre. These benefits will be evidenced through feedback from the public attending our Drop-In Centre, feedback from the public following events we have organised and regular independent evaluation of our services. Our beneficiaries are people living in Northern Ireland who are suffering with their mental health, those who feel in need of our services. There is no harm caused to them flowing from the charity’s purpose. The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is the experience gained by our qualified healthcare staff during their involvement in our charity. This is incidental and necessary in order to achieve the charity’s purpose through the provision of counselling, support and assistance by them in our Drop-In Centre.
... [more] [less]What your organisation does
We are opening our first FOC, self referral, mental health centre in Magherafelt on Monday 17th of September 2018. Premises are secured and we have a qualified mental health practitioner appointed to commence on that date. We will be marketing our services throughout Northern Ireland's workforces, as it is business investment that allowed us to
proceed. We will welcome all adults 18 plus but are trying to be the voice of mental health in the workplace by marketing the centre in the workforce communal areas. The Olive branch will have a telephone line where people can ring initially if that suits there situation better. Our Mental health practitioner will offer support and up to 6 sessions and possibly more if necessary and beneficial. We hope this is the first of many centres.
