Public benefits

The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include improved health outcomes and reduced levels of stress and anxiety. In providing support, signposting and help to people who are currently experiencing or have experienced mental health issues we aim to fill the gap between services and service users. Our aim is to inform, educate and help

people to understand the positive benefits of positive mental health and fellowship, taking part in activities and sessions within the local community. This having a proven effect on a person mental, physical, emotional and social well-being. We want to help people understand mental illness, the topics it includes and its importance to public benefit. Principally that they are not alone and with the support of others they can thrive. The benefit also is to reduce the stigma around mental health issues enabling more people to be aware of where they can access help and support. These benefits are demonstrated through feedback from people within the local community and health professionals within the local health services. There is no harm flowing from the purposes. The beneficiaries are those living in the Causeway Coast and Glens Council area who have experienced or who are currently experiencing mental health problems, social isolation and life's challenges created by low income and personal struggle. There is no private benefit flowing from the purposes.
