HELLENIC COMMUNITY TRUST IA company limited by guarantee) CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 The chairman presenls his statement for the year. The past year has been posittve in mosl respects but (( has been challenging as well. The implementation of our new. more waried cultural programme has been a major success with the numbers attending our events increasing substantially. This interest has come from an ever widening circle of the British public as well as the Hellenic community. At the same time. the return of our clients who rent space from us. and providing the means by which we finance our cultural activrties. has been slower in recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic than we expected. Our programme of Modem Greek lessons continues to be SucsSfUl. We have expanded our provision of on- line teaching, reaching a greater number of students bolh in this covntry and abroad. Our enhanced cultural programme with increased interplay beeen the current Greek cufture and the culture of our host community, while not ignoring our history and customs. has proved to be a success. Among many notable events held during this year, Christos Marantos.- Tradition and Vision, looked at different aspects of human life, illuminated by music from Baroque to the present day.. Papyrus Fragments, a talk with discussion and demonstrations explored the lost literature of ancient Greece and the attempts to create new theatrical performances inspired by il, while The Monochords.- Artists and Poets in Dialogue, an evening of conversation and readings, examined the continuing resonan of Yiannis Ritsos's poelry were partiCLSlarly successful. From our exhibitions, Vlassis Caniaris.. Selected Woths 1960s - 1980s dealing wrf(h themes of immigration and social inequaltty, which was open for six weeks. was the most notable. Our usual celebrations of Greek tradition5 continued to be popular and much enjoyed by the community and some of our Modem Greek students as well. Financially, the year was not as successful as we hoped. ending with a deficit of £64.514. This was due to the slower return of our long temi clients after the Covid-19 pandemic and their more modest requirements. With the further steps we have taken to reduce OLtr expenditure. and the continuing increase of our rental income. WÈ are budgeting for a small Surplus at the end of 2024. and we are confident in achieving this. l am very grateful to our director. Dr Nayia Yiakoumaki. and her colleagues for their dedication and resourcefulness and I have every confidence that they will continue to implement successfully our policy of updating, modernising and making our activities more relevant both to the members of the Hellenic community and of our host community, which we consider very important. I'm also mosl grateful for the chairman and members of the Hellenic Centre ExeculNe Board for their hard work in supporting our Director and the efforts of the Council during the year. Similarly, I wish to express my heartfelt gratrtude to my fellow trustees and members on the Council for their unstinling support both to me. our Trust and the objectives for which we all work. I have every confidence in our efforts to disseminate Hellenrc culture. both old and new and the future of our Trust. Chaimian Date.. 1 July 2024 Page 3 Grifffin Stone Moscrop & Co

The office operates very well as it is and we are going to maintain all staff recrutted in 2023. We will continue to improve our HR systems and after revEwing all staff contracts in 2023 we will be creating job descriptions for staff as some members of staff have a list of tasks instead of job description. In terms of fundraising, we are launching the Cultural Fund, an initiative which will raise funds to support our cultural offer lo the public and fulfil Ihe Charitys mission. We will continue lo approach individuals and companies to share our mission and vision with them so that we can attfact them as long-tem supporters. Through our new programme. which was implemented in January 2023. we have seen a diverse and new audience coming to the HC. In 2024 we will be working hard to continue to expand our audiences and continue the success of 2023. We will also be looking at ways to make our events more financially sustsinable by introducing a small token fee so that when people book they are committed to coming. We will continue our membership with EUNIC, the international network of European Cultural institutions in the UK. as this has proven very helpful for us. Networking wrth other robust institulions will continue in 2024 to ensure that we benefit from the knowledge exchange but also communicating our programmes and educational offer to their neorkS and audiences. We are going to boost the promotion of Greek lessons and hopefully increase income by tapping into famous alumni, who will write testimonials for our website. We are also working towards a plan to open our café and have income from the rental. Overall we continue to work towards putting the Centre at the forefront of cumure in London and ment its reputation for the next years to come as a place where intemational audiences can meet Hellenic culture.
