Public benefits
[What are the direct benefits flowing from your organisation's purposes?] • Access to the Belvoir Hub building and facilities for individuals and groups through ‘drop-in’ or ‘open door’ services and scheduled programmes that are available to meet the needs of different sections of the community. • Access to the building for community, voluntary and
statutory providers that require a venue for programmes and services that are of interest and benefit to local people. • Improved physical and mental health and well-being of residents through the provision of health related information and activities and reducing social isolation and loneliness • Volunteering opportunities for local residents in a range of different roles • Provision of services to support residents with financial hardship and improve employment opportunities These benefits are demonstrated through regular reports to the Board of Directors and to different funders. A record of all attendances and ‘footfall’ in the Centre is kept and reviewed by the BOD. Evaluations and surveys of individual users and user groups as well as the wider community are carried out on a regular basis to establish if anticipated outputs and outcomes are being achieved and to see what future activity the community would like to see happening in or through the Hub. There is no specific harm relating to these purposes however children and vulnerable adults may use the Hub and its services so to protect these groups from potential harm, Belvoir Community Hub adopted, implements and keeps under review Children’s Safeguarding and Vulnerable Adults policies and procedures. Health and Safety policy and procedures are also implemented and all activities and use of the building and outdoor areas are covered by public liability insurance. The beneficiaries are primarily the residents of Belvoir and Milltown estate and to a lesser extent people living in the surrounding areas. The beneficiaries are residents of all ages and backgrounds. A private benefit to trustees may arise if the knowledge and experience they gain as a trustee in regards to good governance and community development is transferable to another setting and enhances their employment prospects or if they or their family avail of and benefit from any of the activities and services that are offered to local residents. However, these benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
