The key areas for Langdon Communkty are summarised below, Our SupporLed Living 5erYice now Supports 106 people198 in 2019) and we also support 13 people through our Outreach SerCe (28 in 2019). The number 5upporied through Outreach temporarily dropped during the Covid19 pandomic.

This provides an environment for our people with a learning disabFlity to develop work based slalls enabling them to then move in to work Mih an employer.

We are rightly proud of our achievement5: 17% 01 people are in paid work and not in recèipt of any social security employment benefits. 24% are in paid vrfork but working less than 16 hours per week and 17% are in Yolunory work or vocational trnIng. These numbers were slighdy lower in 2020 as the Covidl 9 pandemic affected the work and wothplaces thal some of the people that we support are linked to. Langdon's Brady Clubs give Jewr5h youth aged 12-19, with learning disabilities. the opportunity to meet new peopl mako frieIS and have fun.

Reserves The view ol the Board of Trustees is that Langdon Community 5hosJld rotain sufficient reserves to cover 3 months operation of the chariLy. This was Viewed during the period to reflect current Charity Commission gdanCe. Thls consideration also factors current exremal threats to funding so as to mwmise service continuity. Our operavng income comes Irom the governtnen¢ mostly through contracts for care services wi¢h Local Authorities. In the even¢ that these contracts were terminated and the income stopped, we would also stop providing the care services thereby reducing costs. The Trustees consider that the charity needs to hold adequate reserves against the risk that these contracts might cea* and deemed that a minitnum of three months, income is appropriats.
