Public benefits
The direct benefits from our purposes include carers are less socially isolated and benefit from meeting other carers on a regular, but informal basis which offers them the opportunity to build new friendships and an effective support network. Through education sessions they are more aware of welfare rights, disability rights and their rights as a
carer. Members will benefit from mental health awareness workshops and learning practical skills to help them cope with the stress and difficulties of their daily caring responsibilities. Members can enjoy the informal atmosphere, and gain useful knowledge, skills and support through workshops and outings. They also have the opportunity to attend respite days which gives them a chance to relax and recharge. The benefits are demonstrated through verbal feedback where members have stated that they feel more supported, informed and less stressed; and by the growing numbers of members availing of our support services. There is no harm from our purposes. The beneficiaries are carers in the Portadown area, and their families. There is no private benefit from the purposes.
