Public benefits

The public benefits that flow from these purposes are that children and young people have access to valuable workshops in a safe and fun learning environment where they can learn about mental health, develop coping skills on how to reduce their stress and anxiety and how manage those feelings, how to have difficult conversations and enhance their

knowledge of local services and how to access them. Their confidence, knowledge and skills are enhanced from taking part in our workshops therefor helping to strengthen their health and resilience should they ever find themselves suffering from poor mental health. These workshops can advance health and do provide lifesaving knowledge as well as resources as mental health packs are given to young people upon finishing the workshops. The young people and our team who take part in any training that is organised enable them to advance their education notably around mental health and drugs and life saving skills are developed. Our benefits are identified by handing out feedback forms at the end of each workshop for the children or young people to complete with a range of questions on them we also ask that the youth worker or teacher depending on where we are facilitating who is in the room with us while we are facilitating writes up a few paragraphs evaluating how they thought it went and again asking the young people how they felt. This is emailed to us a few days later. Our board also evaluates all feedback forms we receive to ensure we are facilitating the best possible workshops. No harm arises from any of our purposes. Precautions are taken nonetheless for example we have a child safeguarding policy that is regularly reviewed, and all our members undergo child safeguarding training. The main beneficiaries of our purposes are the children and young people who take part in our workshops aged between 11-22. Other local organisations may benefit from some of our aims also such as foodbanks as we run winter appeals to raise funds to create food parcels for them that are then given to those who need them. The general public may also benefit from our leaflet drops that contain mental health service numbers, all our actions are exclusively charitable. There are no private benefits from our purposes.
