Public benefits
The Fiona Brady Foundation delivers direct public benefit through improved awareness, early detection, and support relating to skin cancer. Its educational activities increase public understanding of risk factors, signs, and preventative behaviours, enabling individuals to make informed decisions about their health and take steps to reduce their
risk. By promoting early recognition and timely intervention, the Foundation contributes to earlier diagnoses, which can improve treatment outcomes and reduce the severity of illness. Its advocacy work supports improvements in access to services and public health approaches, benefiting the wider community. In addition, the Foundation provides emotional and practical support to individuals and families affected by skin cancer, helping to reduce isolation, improve wellbeing, and guide people towards appropriate care and support services. Overall, these benefits contribute to improved public health, reduced harm, and enhanced quality of life within the community. The Fiona Brady Foundation demonstrates benefits through both quantitative and qualitative measures. Educational campaigns are tracked via event attendance, social media, website analytics, and materials distributed, showing increased awareness. Surveys and participant feedback assess changes in knowledge and behaviour, including understanding of skin cancer risks, sun safety practices, and confidence in spotting early signs. Advocacy impact is measured through engagement with health bodies, policy contributions, and improvements in access or early diagnosis pathways. Support services are evaluated via user feedback, uptake of initiatives, and testimonials, showing reduced isolation and improved wellbeing. Public health trends may also be referenced to reinforce outcomes. The Fiona Brady Foundation does not identify any significant harm arising from its purposes. Its activities are designed to improve public health, increase awareness, and provide support in relation to skin cancer. The Foundation recognises that raising awareness of health risks may, in some cases, cause temporary anxiety or concern among individuals. However, this is mitigated by ensuring that all information provided is accurate, evidence-based, and delivered in a responsible and supportive manner, alongside clear guidance on prevention, early detection, and access to appropriate services. All support services are delivered with sensitivity and care, with appropriate signposting to professional healthcare and support where needed. The Foundation’s work complements, rather than replaces, existing healthcare provision. Overall, any potential harm is minimal, carefully managed, and outweighed by the significant public benefit of improved awareness, early detection, and support. The beneficiaries of the Fiona Brady Foundation are the general public, particularly individuals at risk of, or affected by, skin cancer. This includes people of all ages and backgrounds who may benefit from increased awareness, education, and preventative guidance. Specific beneficiaries include individuals diagnosed with skin cancer, those undergoing treatment or recovery, and their families and carers, who may require emotional and practical support. The Foundation also benefits communities with lower awareness or higher risk, by improving access to information and encouraging early detection. In addition, the wider public benefits from the Foundation’s advocacy work, which aims to improve public health policy, access to dermatology services, and early diagnosis pathways, leading to better health outcomes across the community. The Fiona Brady Foundation does not exist to provide private benefit. All of its activities are carried out solely to further its charitable purposes for the public benefit. Any private benefit that may arise is incidental and necessary to the delivery of those purposes. For example, individuals who receive support services, information, or participate in programmes may experience personal benefit; however, this is a direct and intended outcome of delivering public benefit. Similarly, any payments made (such as for professional services or operational costs) are reasonable, transparent, and necessary to enable the Foundation to carry out its work effectively. No individuals or organisations receive undue benefit, and all resources are applied solely in furtherance of the Foundation’s charitable aims.
