Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from the purpose include an increase in the number of residents participating in developmental programmes and activities, resulting in reduced social exclusion; increased participation in community activities; increased resident resilience; empowerment of residents; leading to increased participation in the community;
increased self-worth, self-confidence and self-esteem, leading to reduced negative behaviours. These benefits are evidenced through our annual reports; participant evaluations; staff evaluations; our six month reports and through community feedback through voluntary and statutory organisations. The benefits outweigh any potential harm. To mediate against any potential harm the organisation ensures that all the organisations policies are adhere to including; health and safety procedures; risk assessments are carried out in advance; staff are qualified in first-aid and have completed child protection training and the organisation has 2 named child protection officers. Any external hired service providers have also all the required health and safety and child protection requirements. The Benefit is for all local residents regardless of age. A private benefit to our volunteers may arise from our programme of ongoing training in first-aid; child protection; youth work etc. Through this training volunteers gain skills and experience and qualifications which are transferable to other settings. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
What your organisation does
GRA empowers local residents to become part of their residents association and influence decision making at monthly meeting etc. Community consultations and surveys will be a tool regularly used to engage residents and in doing so enable the association to put on services that meet need, to look at satisfaction of services and to ensure we have a
programme that contributes to developing the skills, knowledge and confidence of residents through our education, social, cultural and economic programmes. The Association seeks to build on and consolidate existing services and structures within the Galliagh Residents Association and user groups and to make sure resources are not duplicated and we add value to local people’s lives in a meaningful way. We are focused on addressing the lack of modern community & recreational infrastructure within Outer North. The need for a vibrant and dynamic residents association is evidenced by the scale and level of socio-economic, community and physical disadvantage experienced by residents.
