Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from our purpose include the improved and promoted of effectiveness and efficiency of the NI Fire and Rescue Service which, in turn, is of wide-reaching benefit to the public which the NIFRS serves. Practically, effectiveness and efficiency is improved through the boosting of morale for serving and prospective fire
fighters who are reassured that a network exists which can meet certain needs for them directly and for their families (‘the beneficiaries’) should they be injured, bereaved or upon their retirement. Directly, comradeship, the provision of practical assistance, respite breaks and the addressing of real needs (particularly as a result of the years of The Troubles) are examples of our work. The benefits are evidenced through the monitoring and evaluation of the levels of practical assistance provided to those in need. This includes feedback from beneficiaries and their families and by way of regular evaluations of our service. We do not believe that any harm will arise from this purpose. There is no private benefit to trustees or members from this purpose. All work undertaken on behalf of the Association is done so voluntarily.
