t Weil Lin Staff We were sory to see Centre Manager Lizzie Taczalski's depart for matemity leave: but pleased that Laura Keeley could take her pla on an interim basis. The Board are grateful to Lizzie for her excellent leadership as Communty Centre Director from October 2020 through to spring 2024, during which time TWL expanded its offer to the communty, strengthened its govemance and grew its social media presence. Laura Keely quickly picked up the reigns and made progress in progressing funding bids. further strengthening governan and dealing with some challenging operational issues. Following the resignation of Christine Holdbrook, Chanice Robinson was appointed Facilities and Bookings Co-ordinator in June 2024. Rita Sankoh stepped dovrfn as a volunteer in July 2024. We are gratefvl for all that she and other volunteers including Jennrfer Davies and Hilary Lyle contributed to the success of TWL. The Trustees wish to thank all those who volunteer their time and skills to The Weir Link. Partnars TWL continued to have an exlIent relationship with its partners, especially London Early Years Foundation (LEYF) and Nido Volans Lambeth {NVL), part of London South East Colleges (LSEC). After a considerable hiatus. LB Lambeth resumed negotiations on the TWL head-lease in November 2024; however. while some progress was made. no condusion was reached by the end of the financial year. Negotiations in respect of the renewal of Leyfs lease continued in a positive direction,. but uncertainty over the position in relation to the head-lease with LB Larnbeth prevented the issue from being conduded. The Weir Link Annual Report and Accounts 2024-2518
Building maintenance The trustees continue to pay signfficanl attention to maintaining the building's fabric and responding to the need for ongoing maintenance and repair. No major expenditure was quIred. however, routine maintenance was undertaken in relation to the shutters, security and fire alanns, and emergency lighting. The capabilty of the boiler was assessed, pest control measures taken when necessary and the qualty of the deaning contractors monitored. Financial and IT systems Regular updates on the financial position were made at each meeting of the Board of Trustees The financial position is kept under regular review and atthough sensitive to unexpected changes in both income and expenditure remains in sustainable position and able to pay its way. Conclusion It is encouraging that during 2024125, notwrthstsnding the need for new trustees to settle into their roles; significant changes in staffing to be addressed and the rent loss of accommodation at the St Stephen's Church Centre. activities continued to be provided for a wide range of users, the building was well maintained, govemance further strengthened and a number of bids lo grant awarding bodies were successful. It is disappointing that another year went by with the issue of the head-lease remaining unresolved and that, therefore, the.tenns of a new lease with Leyf were not finalised. Nevertheless, the Trustees are hopeful that thesé issues will be resolved satisfactorily and that, with excellent staff and the support of both partners and volunteers TWL can continue to make an important contribution to the Iiv8S of those who engage with its services. In 2025126 the Trust8es hope to condude the two lease negotiations and make further progress in securing additional income and expanding the range of services it offers to the community.

Ihgll! Ir. ,ILin Financial Review The Weir Link receives no financial support from the local aLrthority or other statutory agencies and for several years has been entirely dependent on rent and fees from users of the building. The Trustees have sought to manage the available financial resource in a prudent manner, ensuring that unallocated reserrfes were sufficient to meet unforeseen maintenance and management challenges and that, as a rule. operational expenditure dS not exceed income. Regular rentsl income from Leyf and licence fee income from Nido Valens have helped secure a good financial position from which the Trustees intend to seek to increase activities for the benefit of the local community. Looking ahead, it is the Trustees, intention to continue with a policy of prudence and reinforce this with a more proactive approach to raising income and a planned programme of expenditure on social and economic projects. in addition to building maintenance.

Staff We were sorry to see Centre Manager Lizzie Taczalski's depart for rnatemity leave; but pleased that Laura Keeley could take her place on an interim basis. The Board are grateful to Lizzie for her excellent leadership as Communty Centre Director from October 2020 through to spring 2024, during which time TWL expanded its offer to the community, strengthened its governance and grew its social media presence. Laura Keely quickly picked up the reigns and made progress in progressing funding bids, further strengthening governan and dealing with some challenging operational issues. Following the resignation of Christine Holdbrook. Chanice Robinson was appointed Facilities and Bookings Co-ordinator in June 2024. Rits Sankoh stepped down as a volunteer in Juty 2024. We are gratefijl for all that she and other volunteers including Jennifer Davies and Hilary Lyle contributed to the success of TWL. The Trustees wish to thank all those who volunteer their time and skills to The Weir Link. Partners TWL continued to have an exlIent relationship with its partners, especially London Early Years Foundation (LEYF) and Nido Volans Lambeth (NVL), part of London South East Colleges (LSEC). After a considerable hiatus, LB Lambeth resumed negotiations on the TWL head-lease in November 2024; however. while some progress was made, no condusion was reached by the end of the financial year. Negotiations in respect of the renewal of Leyfs lease continued in a positive direction; but uncertainty over the position in relation to th8 h8ad-lease with LB Lambeth prevented the issue from being concluded. The Weir Link Annual Report and Accounts 2024-25 | 8
Th eirlin Building maintenance The trustees continue to pay significant attention to maintaining the building's fabric and responding to the need for ongoing maintenance and repair. No major expenditure was required. however, routine maintenance was undertaken in relation to the shutters, security and fire alanrts, and emergency lighting. The capability of the boiler was assessed, pest control measures taken when necessary and the quality of the cleaning contractors monitored. Financial and IT systems Regular updates on the financial position were made at each meeting of the Board of Trustees The financial position is kept under regular review and although sensitive to unexpected changes in both income and expenditure remains in sustainable position and able to pay its way. Conclusion It is encouraging that during 2024125, notwithstanding the need for new trustees to settle into their roles. significant changes in stsffing to be addressed and the rent loss of accommodation at the St Stephen's Church Centre, activities continued to be provided for a wide range of users, the building was well maintained, governance further strengthened and a number of bids to grant awarding bodies were SucsSfUl. It is disappointing that another year went by with the issue of the head-lease remaining unresolved and that, therefore, the terms of a new lease with Leyf were not finalised. Nevertheless, the Trustees are hopeful that these issues will be resolved satisfactorily and that, with exlIent stsff and the support of both partners and volunteers TWL can continue to make an important contribution to the lives of those who engage wth its services. In 2025126 the Trustees hope lo condude the two lease negotiations and make further progress in securing additional income and expanding the range of services it offers to the community. The Weir Link Annual Report and Accounts 2024-25 | 9
hgll!It," Financial Review The Weir Link receives no financial support from the local authority or other statutory agencies and for several years has been entirely dependent on rent and fees from users of the building. The Trustees have sought to manage the available financial source in a prudent manner, ensuring that unallocated reserves were sufficient to meet unforeseen maintenance and management challenges and that, as a rule, operational expenditure does not exceed income. Regular rental income from Leyf and licence fee income from Nido Valens have helped secure a good financial position from which the Trustees intend to seek to increase activities for the benefit of the local community. Looking ahead. it is the Trustees. intention to continue with a policy of prudence and reinforce this with a more proactive approach to raising income and a planned programme of expenditure on social and economic projects, in addttion to building maintenance.
