**Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ending 30 June 2022** 


## **Our objectives** 

SanKTus' objectives are the relief of poverty through advice & practical support to vulnerable people in Kentish Town and Camden. We provide meals, showers and clothes, befriending & referrals into statutory and community-based services. We provide activities to improve the health and wellbeing of elders in the local community, including bingo, a two course meal and chair based exercises. The majority of the members are from an Irish background but all are welcome, 

## **Our organisation** 

The charity had the following 6 trustees in the year 2021/2022: 

- Margaret Harvey - chair 

- Rev John Deehan 

- Stuart Garner 

- Allison Havey 

- Jennifer Rossiter 

- René van Velzen - treasurer 

Richard Mallon has been leading the activities in his role as Welfare Coordinator. SanKTus had the help of approx, 44 volunteers to support all the activities. We depend on volunteers to help us organise our food, shower and clothing services and to take time to engage in conversation with our guests, 

## **Our activities and achievements in this period** 

## **The Welfare Project** 

With Covid-19 restrictions lifted, the Welfare Project ran all its prior services. One change as a result of Covid-19, our takeaway service, remained. This is in part due to the numbers attending outstripping the capacity of the seating we have inside, so now there is a sit-down meal and take away option, with on average 50 people sitting inside and 26 people taking food away every Sunday. 

On a Wednesday on average, 34 people attend for sandwiches and refreshments. Central to the objectives of the Welfare project is the provision of welfare advice. The Welfare Coordinator has linked people into statutory and community-based support. We also worked in partnership with Caritas (Diocese of Westminster) to target those in financial hardship with food vouchers that can be spent at a local supermarket.

**Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ending 30 June 2022** 

The Welfare Project also handed out non-perishable food when available.  We also continued to provide people in food poverty with food vouchers for the local food bank. 

Over the past year, we have seen an increase in people over pensioner age accessing our services many struggling due to the cost of living crisis. We see a core of regulars who have attended the project for many years for the social connection they find just as much as the food and support they receive. 

The overarching differences we make at SanKTus are that we ensure our service users take part in and benefit from being better linked in members of mainstream society. For those who are homeless and vulnerably housed, we try to move them on from the entrenched life choices they often make, build their confidence so they can secure work opportunities & stabilise their housing tenure. We want to give them the skills and self-confidence to sustain this level of independence for themselves. A total of 172 people used at least one of these services with the majority attending the project at least once a week throughout the year. 

## Our Pensioners Activities 

In addition to working with the Welfare Project's guests, we run a range of social and recreational activities every Tuesday for local pensioners including a lunch club with a two-course meal, bingo, a warm space and chair-based exercises in the afternoon. The lunch club part of the day runs with a full capacity of 26 members; we also hold parties for Christmas and outings to the seaside in the summer. 

The majority who attend are from an Irish background many are widowed or living on their own, many are isolated with little support. The Tuesday Club provides a meeting place, improving social contact whilst also promoting good physical and mental health. 

The chair-based exercises have improved the health and wellbeing of those that have attended, improving flexibility and strength, reducing the risks of falls. This is due to chair based exercises improving posture and balance. 

We have been successful in outreaching to older Irish women because we are linked in with the local parish, but we recognise there is also a significant number of older Irish men that we need to identify and involve in our activities.

**Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ending 30 June 2022** 


## **Our finances** 

SanKTus has been supported with grants and donations from the Embassy of Ireland, Awards for All and some smaller donations. 


SanKTus aims to have a reserve of approximate 20% of annual receipts. At the end of the financial year, the reserve was £14,009 not including restricted funds, which is above the target. 

At the end of the year the carry-over of restricted funds was £12,318 which is required to cover the activities for the next year. The grant from Awards for All has been received in Q1 and the spending is mainly in the next financial year. 

This year the payments have exceeded the receipts and this was not a problem because of the buffer that was created in the last financial year with the help of the Coronavirus Community Support Fund and funding from FP GiveClarity. Going forward it is important to aim to balance the receipts and payments and to avoid eating too much in to the reserve.
