individually but also offering group support which helps individuals feel valid, listened to, understood and supported when coming to terms with their life changing event. This benefit can be demonstrated by a more educated & qualified population living within the Derry City & Strabane District Council area / Northern Ireland. The benefits will be evidenced from evaluation results & feedback from the participants / PSNI Flow Team /PSP from the services & workshops that we offer. There is no harm arising from this purpose The beneficiaries are the inhabitants of the Derry City & Strabane District Council & Northern Ireland A private benefit to Life After Trustees/volunteers is training i.e. child protect/health & safety/governance but this is incidental & necessary for professional standards to be maintained to carry out the service we provide & ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
