Public benefits
Purpose -The relief of those in need by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage. The relief of people with a learning disability in particular, by the provision of help and support for them and for their families, dependants and carers. To provide facilities for the provision of recreation or other
leisure time occupation who have need thereof by reason of learning disability with the object of improving their conditions of life. Public Benefit(direct)-People with a disability in the community will benefit directly from our main purpose by taking part in the activities that we provide. Through the medium of the arts Skyzdalimit aims to promote emotional and physical integration and personal growth, self-expression and creativity, self-empowerment and independence, fitness, communication skills and decrease stigmatization and social isolation. Public Benefit(indirect) Parents and carers benefit indirectly by getting a rest from their daily duties in caring for their children. The general public benefits indirectly by challenging their perceptions to people with a disability. The wider community benefits from having an increased awareness and thus acceptance of people with a disability creating an environment where people are more tolerant, accepting and empathetic. Young volunteers recruited will benefit indirectly by increasing their understanding of disability and the acquisition of the skills necessary to teach dancing, acting and singing. There is no harm or private benefit.
What your organisation does
Skyzdalimit provides leisure and performing arts opportunities to people with a disability through weekly 1,5 to 2hr classes of singing, dancing and acting working towards the staging of a full-length musical production every year. We have now moved on to other forms of therapy and relaxation for our members including Yoga, wellness, and music and
art therapy.
