Island House Community Centre Trustees Annual Report for the period 1[st] January to 31[st] December 2022
SECTION C – OBJECTIVES & ACTIVITIES
Charitable Objects
-
Promote the benefit of the inhabitants of the Isle of Dogs and the surrounding area by associating together the said inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary and other organizations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants, and
-
Advance the Christian religion.
Activities
-
As we finally moved away from the pandemic, we were able to cement the program of services within new themes of Community Health, Community Hub, and Community Skills.
-
Within Community Health we offered a growing selection of activities designed to improve mental and physical wellbeing, including our projects REFRESH (offering a range of mindfulness and exercise classes to improve mental and physical health), SENIORS (providing a selection of classes and activities to address loneliness and improve health of older people), and BILLY’S PANTRY (offering emergency food bags).
-
As a valued Community Hub , we continued to provide a base for our partner tenants (Island Advice Centre, Island House Playgroup and Quaystone church), regular community activities (e.g., gymnastics and yoga classes), and other individuals and community groups, as well a home for our portfolio of community projects.
-
An expanding Community Training project saw Cathy develop her activities for SKILLS and also provide increasing digital skills training to those who needed to be better equipped for daily tasks that are now online, particularly applying for travel cards, pension credits, council tax reductions and energy rebates. ESOL classes began again, and 8 clients were enrolled.
Public Benefit
- Our strategies and activities are developed in direct relationship to our charitable aims and meet the identifiable needs of the general public within our area of benefit.
Volunteer Contribution
- Our work has always relied heavily on volunteers, and although we benefitted from a working party from Canary Wharf Contractors who decorated the corridor and offices, we did not secure any regular volunteers.
SECTION D – ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE
Projects
- Our REFRESH project continued to provide a range of free classes each week, which currently include Mindfulness, 2 levels of Yoga and Boxercise. During the year we provided 224 free classes to 1,015 attendees. These were very well received, with feedback surveys demonstrating that 94% felt more positive about the future, 92% of attendees felt that their physical and mental health had improved, 90% felt more confident emotionally to deal with life, 87% made friends and increased their support network and 82% were sleeping better.

Trustees Annual Report for the period 1[st] January to 31[st] December 2022
-
In June we received 2 years funding from City Bridge Trust to start a new SENIORS project. This project effectively addresses loneliness and isolation in local older people through a range of social and health activities to improve mental and physical health. Weekly activities currently include walking badminton, a choir, a craft club, a luncheon club, mindful movement sessions and monthly health workshops. In the last 6 months of 2022 we provided 77 sessions to 518 attendees. One attended said “ I really enjoyed the mindful movements class last week and came back again, they are such good fun and love that it’s older people only, very empowering, and just such a good laugh. I wish there were more sessions in the week! Many thanks for organising these.”
-
Numbers increased for our SKILLS project and Cathy provided around 300 hours of one-toone digital support to 200 clients teaching basic computer skills or supporting them with benefits claims, health appointments, or job applications, which included 45 referrals from Island Advice Centre. 10 clients regularly attended weekly digital skills classes and 29 completed accredited courses in social care. 50 clients were supported in job search, 25 with job applications, 4 clients were successfully supported into jobs and 5 into volunteer roles. 12 clients attended weekly conversations classes and in October 2022 we enrolled 19 students in 2 ESOL classes working towards a range of ESB listening, speaking, and writing exams. Not only do users gain confidence and experience in using the internet for daily tasks, but they also build supportive relationships for the future, and these changes benefit their families and the wider community. One participant responded " I have met new friends and taken some online course with lovely Cathy. They recommended me to go to Island Advice Centre and now I am working as volunteer in Island House Community Centre. I really enjoy being there."
Funding
-
A total of £59,000 new funding was sourced, including £10,000 to continue REFRESH, £12,040 to start SENIORS and £37,400 for SKILLS. This was a success rate of 22% of total amount requested, slightly up from 18% the previous year.
-
We were disappointed to miss out on a number of funding bids at the end of the year which meant that we ended £34,562 underfunded. Accordingly, our reserves dropped from £111,202 to £71,393
Staffing
-
There were no changes to the staff team of:
-
Paul Rogers (Centre Director)
-
Amanda Newbury (Office Coordinator)
-
Cathy Weir (Projects Manager)
-
Dymphna Dale (Finance Officer)
-
Annemarie Ibbotson (Cleaner, Caretaker, Projects Worker)
Rentals
- Rental income did not increase as expected as we moved away from lockdown. Not only were ad hoc bookings significantly reduced (due to the cost-of-living crisis) but current and new user groups struggled also.
Premises
- Having been damaged the previous year, our lift was finally repaired in February and all costs were recovered from the insurers. No other significant work was done to the premises.
