Public benefits

The direct benefits flowing from the purpose of the organisation are: Improvement in mental health and wellbeing through development of self esteem and resilience, helping Clients adopt better coping mechanisms related to their issues. These benefits can be demonstrated by: Ongoing requests for our service from the community and by referrals from

General Practitioners and Mental Health Teams. It is also evidenced by the positive feedback provided by Clients, who often make voluntary donations in appreciation of the service. There is no harm flowing from the purposes. The service is available to all adult members of the community, who may benefit from the therapeutic approaches, irrespective of their ethnicity, religion, culture, gender, sexual orientation, disability, politics or other distinction.
