## Strategic Report 

for the Year Ended 31 March 2022 

The trustees present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT Governance** 

Lewisham Irish Community Centre is governed by a board of trustees. We focus on the principles of good governance and work hard to regularly review and develop strategies for working effectively as a management committee. 

Each new Trustee is offered an induction programme that emphasizes their personal and collective responsibility to the mission and objectives of the charity. Ever mindful that Trustees with appropriate business skills and knowledge of the voluntary sector are scarce, we continue to identify gaps in skills and competencies reviewing board training and recruiting new members. 

A major achievement in this period included agreement of a strategic business 2021-2024 plan in consultation with key stakeholders. 

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 31 January 2023 and signed on its behalf by:

## Report of the Trustees 

for the Year Ended 31 March 2022 

## **INTRODUCTION** 

Lewisham Irish Community Centre (LICC) is a dynamic, outward looking organisation based in the London Borough of Lewisham in south London. We are a registered charity established in 1992. 

Our base in Rushey Green is a vibrant hub for the local community and the Irish community in Lewisham, providing advice, support and advocacy for local people, the Irish community and specialist advice and support for Gypsy Roma Traveller (GRT) communities. The centre hosts activities for children and families, young people and proves support to elders. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The principal objective of the charity is to promote the benefit of the community, particularly but not exclusively to persons of Irish descent within the London Borough of Lewisham. This objective is achieved through association with local authorities, voluntary organisations and local population to: 

- Advance education in Irish culture & heritage. 

- To relieve sickness & deprivation. 

- Provision of social and recreational activities for the wellbeing of the community. 

## **Main Summary** 

These past two years have challenged us all as a community and as a charity. Through the dedication of our chief Executive Kathleen Sheridan and the staff team we have begun the process of recovery and rebuilding and have continued to adapt services to meet needs and ensure our community remains supported 

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to our funders for their support and continued flexibility this past year. Thanks to the Irish Government's Emigrant Support Program, Lewisham Council, Ireland Fund of GB, National Lottery Community Fund, and London Youth Burberry Program for their continued support. 

We are looking forward to the next stage in the charity's development as we continue to implement our strategic plan and celebrate our 30th year. 

## **Main Highlights** 

In the past year, LICC has worked collaboratively with local businesses, grassroots groups, and charities to retain the online and outreach initiatives while beginning the process of rebuilding and recovery in what remains a time of continued uncertainty. 

In September '21, we were delighted to reopen the facilities for children and families and relaunch our Irish Elders program onsite. We look forward to the year ahead building on our collaborative approach, supporting the welfare of the Irish and Gypsy Roma Traveller communities, continuing to strengthen our core services, and developing and adapting our approach to meet the  challenges ahead including a sharp increase in costs of living and longer-term impact of COVID on mental health. 

After an absence of two years, we celebrated a festival of St. Patrick's Day activities attracting over 180 community members. We were delighted to be joined by Rachel Ingersoll, Irish Embassy, and Damien Egan, Mayor of Lewisham. Later this year LICC will have a special event to mark 30 years of community service. We want to thank the staff team for the continued hard work, dedication, and care, our volunteers for the vital support during the most challenging of times, our partners for their continued support and expertise, the community for their support and involvement, and the trustees for their guidance, support, and encouragement. 

## **Advice & Support Services** 

The advice and support service has continued to adapt its way of working with clients by combining weekly welfare calls, doorstep visits, telephone appointments and face-to-face appointments. During this period 264 individuals accessed the service, 174 clients accessed the advice and advocacy while 90 individuals accessed welfare calls or community meals. 209 clients were Lewisham Irish Community Centre clients, and 55 clients were part of the joint partnership with the Southwark Irish Pensioners Project. The welfare team made 2,969 welfare calls during this period.

## Report of the Trustees

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Principal funding sources** 

The Lewisham Irish Community Centre is primarily funded by two grants: 

One grant is from London Borough of Lewisham, which contributes towards the Gypsy Roma Travellers Outreach service. The current contract has been renewed for a five-year period 2022-2027. 

The other major grant is paid by the Irish Government (Department of Foreign Affairs Emigrant Support Programme), which pays for the delivery and management of the Irish Welfare Services and the Gypsy Roma Traveller Outreach Service. 

## **Income generation** 

LICC generates income from hall hire facilities rented out to the local community both privately and on an on-going basis to charitable and community led groups. We continued to experience the effects of the Pandemic during 2021 2022 with fewer requests for private hall hire during the first six months of the year however this did pick up later in the year. 

We generated £26,782 (2021 £11,950), which is an increase of £14,832 from 2020 -2021. 

## **Reserves policy** 

LICC operates a reserves policy that aims to cover cash flow shortfalls due to uncertainty in the timing of future grant awards. Reserves are monitored regularly by the board of Trustees which remains confident current levels of reserves are proportionate to the organisation's needs. 

The Trustees regard £40,000 as a prudent sum to cover running costs for three months. 

Total reserves   currently stand at £83,617    (2021 £88,172). 

Restricted funds currently stand at £59498 (2021 £35,145) 

Unrestricted funds currently stand at £24,119 (2021 £53,027), however £951 (£2021 £338) is required to cover future depreciation of fixed assets.
