3. SERVICES:
3.1 Covid-19 Response:
The financial year 2020-21 was an unprecedented year for NLMCC and the community, as it came to grips with Covid-19 and the related social, economic and health challenges. This required a comprehensive, structural, and coordinated community response to ensure positive outcomes. This was a very challenging and testing time. The NLMCC recognised that working in partnership with other organisations and by using a holistic approach it could help build community resilience.
The NLMCC identified a team of key workers to assist elderly, vulnerable and disadvantaged members of the public who were all affected by the ongoing public health crisis including those that had were self-isolating. The assistance materialised with the following:
-
Free meals for people
-
Assistance with shopping and pharmacy visits

Support through the funeral and burial process

The NLMCC recognised that Covid-19 was a constantly evolving situation, which lead the Centre to shape its services. The process of change involved engaging with volunteers to assist in delivering the tasks in addition to inviting ideas and suggestions to help us shape the Covid-19 response. The overarching aim was to ensure maximum benefit to the communities the Centre was serving.
For the record, the NLMCC would like to thank Aspirar Caterers, Cazenove Road Mosque, Clapton Mosque, Tottenham Park Islamic Cemetery Association, Made in Hackney, and the tireless volunteers who assisted in the delivery of these services and helped bring them to fruition. The Centre would also like to extend its gratitude to Hackney Council and their Registrar Service together with the Metropolitan Police Service, Coroner’s Service, and the NHS. The contributions, expertise and assistance of these organisations was invaluable and enabled the Centre to provide this service for the community.

8
NORTH LONDON MUSLIM COMMUNITY CENTRE LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) COMPANY INFORMATION
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The NLMCC has continued to explore project related funding at a local and national level. At the same time, the NLMCC undertook strategic discussions at the Board level to explore how it can continue to play an active role both in the community and at a local level in Hackney. Unrestricted surpluses are designated to the NLMCC Development fund which builds the finances required to complete its long-term projects.
The Board of Directors have completed Phase One of their long-term strategic vision of purchasing an investment property which we previously highlighted as a key step towards increasing sustainability and reach. We achieving this milestone through the purchase of a property in Leytonstone in January 2020. The board has held discussions regarding Phase Two of the long term strategic vision which will (at the appropriate time) explore further opportunities for investment in the property market to enable a mixed economy of service portfolio.
Below is a brief summary of the short and long term objectives the Centre is aspiring to achieve in the coming years.
Short term objectives:
-
Identify gaps in services to ensure that the Centre further reach the most vulnerable and disadvantaged within the community
-
Continue to shape services that align with the organisation’s aims and objectives
-
Explore funding streams to enable the NLMMC to introduce new services and increase the reach of existing services
-
Refurbish the NLMCC premises on Cazenove Road to ensure it remains suitable for delivering services within the community
Long term objectives:
-
Development and implementation of an asset management strategy
-
Introduction of a cyclical maintenance cycle, and a sinking fund
-
Improving on NLMCC’s carbon footprint, and accessibility to the building and services
5. MANAGING RISKS:
The Board of Directors are conscious of the fact that its ambitious sustainability project could place significant pressure on the organisation. On the back of this aim, the board have developed a risk management plan to fully assess and mitigate the risks that these projects may pose to the Centre and thus ensure that the organisation is not overburdened.
The Trustees monitor the financial position of the charity on a regular basis. The Charity aims to maintain at least six months of overheads within the reserves, ensuring that in the event of an emergency the community centre can continue to provide services without other income streams.
Some of the risks being considered are;
- The Financial risks related to the costs of maintaining the existing NLMCC buildings
9
NORTH LONDON MUSLIM COMMUNITY CENTRE LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) COMPANY INFORMATION
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The Health & Safety risks related to the refurbishment of the current NLMCC buildings while users and staff are still using the facilities
-
The operational risks related to the ability to continue all services and operations during the refurbishment of the existing premises i.e. logistics, storage of equipment/facilities, quality of services, noise pollution, retaining users and staff etc.
-
Risk to revenue funding for services whilst refurbishment works are being carried out on the existing premises
-
Reduction or removal of services due to challenges with funding streams and grant applications
-
The long-term impact of Covid-19 on NLMCC services, staff and users
These are just some of the immediate concerns that the Board of Directors will consider. There are many other challenges which will emerge over the next few months and years and these will be given due consideration and rating.
