Public benefits
The public benefit statement is; the relief of children and young people with a learning disability by the provision of help and support for them through an extensive timetable of social and leisure activities that contribute to their personal and social development and whilst doing so, providing support and respite for their parents and carers and
providing knowledge of learning disability to the public and wider population. These benefits are (will be) demonstrated through the increased membership numbers and referrals from social services. The feedback from parents/carers, siblings and the children themselves is what guides us in our work and we ensure that the club is benefiting its members through ensuring they guide the activities the club takes part in. Parents are heavily involved in the committee also to ensure they are well informed of what is happening. The purposes of our charity does not lead to any harm. The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is that volunteers and trustees are getting excellent experience through their roles and this in turn can benefit them in their future or prospective careers.
