Public benefits
The direct benefits that flow from purpose 1 include improved support network and information. These benefits will be evidenced through feedback from patients and health professionals. The benefits will also be evidenced by increased number of sarcoma patients being aware of our charity. The benefits are available to those suffering from Sarcoma
cancer in Northern Ireland and their families and carers. The only private benefit flowing from this purpose would be if a trustee became affected by Sarcoma cancer and this is incidental. The direct benefits that flow from purpose 2 increased visibility of sarcoma so that the public in Northern Ireland are familiar with sarcoma and its signs and symptoms. These benefits will be evidenced through press coverage and fundraising events and with more patients being aware of sarcoma at the point of diagnosis. The benefits are available the general public in Northern Ireland. The only private benefit flowing from this purpose would be increased awareness of sarcoma and this is incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries. The direct benefits that flow from purpose 3 include the added value to the national programme of sarcoma research and an improved understanding of sarcoma through results of research. These benefits will be evidenced by communication from our partner charity Sarcoma UK who will communicate the use of our funds and communicate the results of the research investment. The benefits are available to those suffering from Sarcoma cancer in UK. There are no private benefits flowing from this purpose.
