Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include improved knowledge, capacity and ability of member groups to identify and target health inequalities and improve mental and physical health in communities experiencing endemic social deprivation; increased capability of member groups to collaborate sub-regionally in their own area so as to
attract and target resources more accurately at areas of social deprivation; increased capability of member groups to collaborate on a regional basis with the public sector so as to attract and target government and charitable resources for and with people in socially deprived neighbourhoods; increased capability of member groups to strategise on an all-Ireland basis to attract and target resources at people experiencing poor mental and physical health in socially deprived neighbourhoods. These benefits are evidenced through feedback from attendees at our training and strategic events using monitoring devices and forms; from surveys conducted with member groups; from outcomes delivered by thematic Working Groups and cyclical out-turn reports from our regional projects to funders and to the Board of Trustees. There is no harm anticipated from this purpose. The charity’s beneficiaries are its members, their managers, staff and volunteers, and people whose lives are improved in or by Healthy Living Centres delivering locally as part of regional thematic, sub-regional and strategic, coordinated activity. A private benefit to trustees may arise from our ongoing programme of thematic training, good practice visits, direct support to groups, financial support through regional projects or information provision. Through this, trustees may gain skills, experience or funding which are transferable to other settings and which may benefit their own community group. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
