Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include: improved health and well-being outcomes, reduced levels of social isolation, stress and anxiety, increased socializing, cooperation, good/community relations, networking, skills, and confidence which will improve circumstances and opportunities. These benefits are demonstrated through
feedback from beneficiaries and attendees at our events and activities using: evaluation forms, surveys, verbal feedback, and evaluation of our activities. There is no harm anticipated from this purpose. The charity’s beneficiaries are primarily older people living in the Dungannon West Community area in Dungannon and its environs, within Dungannon & South Tyrone Borough Council area. A private benefit to Trustees may arise from our ongoing services and programmes of leisure and activities: information, training, events, and networking visits. Through this, Trustees gain services, leisure activities, information, skills, and experience which are transferable to other settings, and which may benefit their own community group or area. Our own Trustees receive information, services and activities in the same way as other beneficiaries, and are assigned support, information and services in the same ways as other beneficiaries. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
