Public benefits
Our key aim and number one public benefit is to advance health and to allow people to live their best lives: (a) contribute to the promotion of wellbeing and the prevention of suicide and self-harm by offering early intervention, prevention and post-vention services to assistance to those at risk, their families and/or their carers; (b) promote the
fostering of positive mental health and improving the emotional wellbeing of people residing in Northern Ireland and beyond. At all times we are guided by what is most timely and helpful to the communities we work with. The benefit that flows from the services we provide is: improved mental and emotional health outcomes that reduce levels of stress, anxiety and low self-esteem to the individual presenting with suicidal ideation, self-harm or emotional anxiety. Benefit (2) probably our most important benefit is to advance the education and skills of the public as a whole, raising awareness of, the causes and effects of, poor wellbeing, poor mental health and suicide, and given people information on the actions that can be taken to prevent suicides deal with all these matters. The direct benefits are the increased knowledge and awareness of the public into the causes and effects of suicide and self-harm and into matters relating to the nature of grieving, bereavement and the treatment and rehabilitation of individuals from their ailments. The benefits are demonstrated through client feedback and training participant feedback from our training and events as well as access to counselling and other therapies, In addition to this we can determine the benefit by the numbers of people actively engaged in our events, activies and concerts and the actual number of communities we are working alongside. The more we provide our services to the community the more we are helping to improve understanding and knowledge that will encourage active participation within the community to assist anyone presenting with issues that they may need help with. It is not anticipated that there will be no harm arising from our purpose. although some of our activities deal with often complex and difficult situations and topics the services provided by ALPs are provided with rigorous training in place and all our activities are quality controlled by both the organisation itself and assisted by other likeminded organisations and individuals. All of the community, people of all ages, all religions from all across the country. There are no private benefits flowing from within the purposes of our organisation. All of our services are open to all in the community, they are helping services and everyone in the community including board members, staff and volunteers and as such, if they were to engage any benefits received for the service is not a private benefit but a community benefit offered and available to everyone in the community.
