**ANNUAL REPORT 2023** HORN OF AFRICA DISABILITY AND ELDERLY ASSOCIATION
## **A WORD FROM THE CHAIR**
2022-2023 continues to be a challenging period for residents in Ealing. The cost of living and the after shock of Covid-19 is having a devastating impact on our most marginalised communities. The unprecedented rise in energy bills has surprised everyone. It all seems unfair and a terrible outlook for those already challenged by abject poverty.
Despite the gloom and doom scenario we find ourselves in, HADEA has been able to shine a light of hope through our project interventions that has seen over 700 residents with multiple issues being supported. Our advice work has supported individuals and families secure suitable accommodation, deal with and manage spiralling debts, secure thousands in extra funds and much much more.
We are now working solidly with others such as the connecting communities partnerships with GOSAD and Southall Community Alliance. We have delivered some cutting edge and innovative projects that included engaging with parents with SEND children.
I am very excited and looking forward to the new year as our resilience has meant that no matter how our environments change, we always find a way to support those with most needs in our community.
HADEA is unable to do what it does withou support from our trustees, volunteers, staff and funders. We thank everyone that has and continues to support HADEA’s work.
