Public benefits
The public benefit flowing from the purpose is the reduction in isolation, improve mental health, and improve the environment. Enhance community Spirit. The benefits can be demonstrated by the footfall that we have at our programmes and events, in terms of the cafe we have increased our numbers. With other programmes we provide evaluation forms
which enables us to see what works and what needs to be changed, and we monitor the numbers attending. In terms of our environmental work we received support and positive feedback from local volunteers and our statutory agencies and there is an evident change within the estate. There could be a risk if someone was injured during the environmental project, however we understand the possible risks complete a risk assessment when required. The beneficiaries are from residents of the Ballykeel 1 Community and surrounding areas. Our community volunteers. If volunteers our supervising a community trip or programme they may be provided with a lunch but the private benefit is incidental.
