Public benefits

The directs benefits flowing from this purpose are increased support to foster carers in the Southern Trust Area and a greater sense of community and belonging for the children and young people in foster care. This leads to more opportunities and better outcomes for the children and young people involved. We can demonstrate this through feedback

from foster carers and social worker involved in the monthly group support sessions. Numbers of families attending activities and feedback from children and young people. There is no harm flowing from this purpose. The direct beneficiaries are foster carers, their families and looked after children in the Southern Trust area. The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is the involvement of wider foster care families in activities, this benefit is incidental and necessary to the delivery of the service.
