2. An Overview of the Communit
The Cenacolo Community was founded in July 1983 by an Italian nun, Sister (now Mother) Elvira
Petrozzi, who wanted to give her life to God through helping young people suffering from addiction, or
who were disillusioned or dissatisfied with their lives.
The Cenacolo Community offers a simple life centred on work, prayer and friendship. It is run by
recovering addicts themselves, under the overall direction of Mother Elvira who regards Cenacolo as a
'school of life, which teaches young people how to close the door on their past by healing old wounds
and building towards a brighter future. Cenacolo gives hope and an opportunity to live an addiction-free
life with dignity and respect for oneself and others. It offers help to those who have lost direction and
enables them to go forward with new strength to face the challenges of every day.
Today, the Cenacolo Community has over 60 houses spread throughout Italy and around the world. Up
until September 2020 the Cenacolo Community UK operated as one of these houses from a leased
former presbytery and chapel at Dodding Green, near Kendal, Cumbria where it provided residential
support for up to 16 young men, with its main objective being the relief and rehabilitation of persons in
L-LiiaLnlo L'oii)niLiiiirn L k Iiiiiual Re￿)rt .0,4 .0,

need, hardship or distress who are sufferlng physlcally and mentally as a result of drug or alcohol
dependency, or other substance abuse, through the provislon of supported resldential accommodatlon
in a Chrlstlan envlronment.
This Is the twenty third year of operation of the Charlty, which continues to operate under its
Memorandum and Articles of Association (Issue 3) dated 14 July 2014 and there are no other deeds or
documents which contain provislons regulatlng the purpose and administration of the Charity.
3. A Review of the Year 2024
2025
th
This information was first shared in the report 1st July 2020 to 30 June 2021 but Is included again for
context. Unfortunately, life in the Community at Dodding Green was dramatically affected by the
lockdown restrictions imposed by the Government in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, and because
of potential issues with residency permits in the UK and a decrease in the number of new entrants to the
Cenacolo Community worldwide.
Despite the will to continue the good work by the lads, it was decided by the Community's mother house
in Saluzzo that the house at Dodding Green would be temporarily closed and the remaining lads
transferred to the Irish house in Knock for a few months in September 2020. Unfortunately for our
house this temporary closure was sadly made permanent in October 2021 when the community was
informed that our house at Dodding Green would not be reopening.
On
oln
situation
The Stephenson Trust, the owners of the property from whom we leased Dodding Green, released
Cenacolo Community UK from the long term lease on 31st October 2023. As a Charity we were very
grateful for their understanding. Cenacolo Community UK ceased to be the custodian of the building and
we no longer have responsibility to maintain the property.
The Charity continues to listen and offer support direct to men and women or their families that are
struggling with drug and alcohol difficulties and are interested in learning more about life in Cenacolo.
This is achieved from contacts via the website, through the network of meeting points throughout the
UK or 'word of mouth, from someone with direct experience of the Cenacolo Community. Dodding
Green is closed but the 60+ other houses in the Cenacolo Community which are still open and offering a
welcome to those in need. We have supported men to enter Cenacolo, direct to the house in Knock,
Ireland and to Italy and supported women to enter to Italy.
We have no significant ongoing running cost to support the lads as the 'residential aspect, of the
Cenacolo Community UK has ended. Trustees continued to share a portion of the financial providence
that has been gifted to the Charity. The most recent 'sharing' was on 17th May 2024 and detailed in
Accounts for the Financial Year l July 2023 to 30 June 2024.
4. The 2024 Annual Meetin
and Subse

Director Board
The 2024 statutory Annual Meetlng of the Cenacolo Community UK was held on 2nd November 2024.
en,Iki.)Ii CommLinJt! l K -Iii£iuJl RepL)n 'iJ' 4 :Ll

At the 2024 Annual Meeting the Trustees remaln the same, Fr Shaun O'Neill (Chalrman), Fr Chris
Loughran, Martln Duggan, Dina Hajdinl and Mlkolaj O'Brlen with Chrlstopher D'Arcy as Secretary and
Clare McEntegart as Treasurer.
In accordance with statutory requirements, no trustees are due for resignation and re-election at this
time,
5. The Year Ahead
2025
2026
During the last 12 months trustees continued to discern, along with the Friends of the Community that
provide support at the listening points, former Trustees and the leadership of the Cenacolo Community
in Saluzzo Italy and with our closest house in Ireland as to the best way we can support and the direction
of the Charity.
Once we have a more clear direction for the next steps for the charity, trustees will be in a better
position to update our website and any publicity materials that may need to be produced.
6. The Cenacolo Newsletter
The newsletter that we, as a charity produced, has been 'on hold,. A decision has been made the
newsletter has permanently ended.
7. Pra
er Grou
Prayer is fundamental to the Community. Many prayer groups around the country continue to pray on a
regular basis for the work of the Cenacolo Community, and for those afflicted with addiction and other
problems. These prayer groups are a network across the country forming a web of grace to support the
apostolate of Cenacolo. Some of those praying never have direct contact with Cenacolo, but simply
know of its work and are moved to support it in prayer. These groups are listed on our website and are
regarded as a possible first contact for any addict seeking help to overcome their addiction.
Such prayerful faithfulness is vital for the work of Cenacolo to succeed. We offer our most sincere thanks
to all those who give of themselves at the various prayer meetings and to those who individually offer
prayer for the good of the Cenacolo Community.
Any individual, an addict, family member or friend arriving at a Prayer Group is given information about
the Cenacolo Community, and encouraged to consider the Community as a way forward. If they are
interested, they are referred to their nearest main meeting for addicts and their families, which are held
in Kendal, Liverpool, London, Birmingham, Glasgow and Wrexham. A positive legacy of the Covid-19
pandemic was meetings being offered virtually via 'zoom' or other conference call. Individuals can
continue to be welcomed in this way. The friends who run the meeting points are still able to offer
information and facilitate men entering the Cenacolo Community most likely via the house in Ireland.
Women will continued to be supported just as they always have, entering direct to Italy or which ever
community house they are directed.

8. The General Financial Situation
8.1. Charfty Income:
The most reliable source of income for the Charity Is from Standlng Orders raised by frlends of the
Community, many of whlch are Glft-Alded. Other frlends and supporters send donatlons at Intervals
throughout the year and make up a slgnificant part of our overall Income. Other sources of income are
from legacies, which are a great help to the Charity. Durlng this period we have written to all the friends
for whom we have contacted details so they can make an Informed choice as to whether they want to
continue to financially support the charity or review their charitable giving.
8.2. Publlc Beneflt:
The Trustees have considered the guldance issued by the Charity Commission in respect of public benefit
and confirm that the Charity adheres to this guidance through the nature of its activities and operations.
8.3 Reserves Pollcy:
The Trustees have considered the level of reserves which the Charity should hold to allow for the
continuation of its activitles whilst alternative funding is sourced. We have maintalned this sum at 24
months of the last operating costs In the short term. Our 'operating costs, are now minimal given there
is no UK based residential element to our work. We no longer need to maintsin the house. The running
costs include resources expended on managing and administering the Charity and a contingency to
financially support an individual() to enter the community in Ireland or Italy. This could include support
with financial costs such as paying for a passport or flights. The current level of unrestricted funds of
£82,453 (excluding fixed assets) is in excess of this level.
8.4 The 202412025 Accounts:
Income from donations and other sources remains sufficient to manage the Cenacolo house and provide
for general Community expenses. The balance remaining in the account is predicted to be more than
adequate for 2025/2026.
Full details of the yearfs accounts are included in the Appendix.
It is important to note that at paragraph 31c in the 'Statement of Recommended Practice,, SORP 2000,
published by the Charity Commission, which refers to Accounting Practices within Charities, there is a
requirement to disclose details in our Annual Report of any relationship with any other charity or
organisation with whom our charity Co-operates, which may have any controlling influence on the affairs
of our charity. With regards to the Cenacolo Community UK, no such financial controls exisL Our
relationship with the parent house of the Cenacolo Community in Saluzzo, Italy is such that they only
have some control over the timing and/or timescales of some of our operations, but none over our
finances.
