Charity Number: 1136596 Website: www.sanktus.org Email: sanktus.welfare@gmail.com Address: 4 Lady Margaret Road London NW5 2XT **Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ending 30 June 2023** ## **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. There are a significant number of our service users from an Irish background but all are welcome, ## **Our organisation** The charity had the following 6 trustees in the year 2022/2023: - 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, 45 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** The year has seen an increase in numbers using the Welfare project this has included people with no recourse to public funds and individuals who have been placed locally in Home Office accommodation going through the asylum process. Similar to the previous year we have seen an increase in people over pensioner age accessing our services and also an increase in women, many struggling due to the cost of living crisis. Sunday remains our busiest day when we provide a hot meal and showers with on average 58 people sitting down inside for a meal and a further 29 picking up takeaway food. **Page** 1 **of 4** Charity Number: 1136596 Website: www.sanktus.org Email: sanktus.welfare@gmail.com Address: 4 Lady Margaret Road London NW5 2XT **Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ending 30 June 2023** On a Wednesday on average, 37 people attend for sandwiches and refreshments and engage in conversation and listen to music. During this session we also hand out clothing and toiletries we were fortunate to receive 80 winter coats from Wrap Up London which have all been handed out. Throughout the week welfare advice is available for example help with universal credit claims and referrals into statutory and non-statutory services. We continue to work in partnership with Caritas (Diocese of Westminster) to target those in financial hardship with food vouchers that can be spent at a local supermarket. 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. A total of 183 people used at least one of these services throughout the year. ## **Tuesday Club** The Tuesday club continues to provide a friendly and warm meeting place for local pensioners the session starts with refreshments which is then followed by Bingo and a 2 course meal and chair-based exercise in the afternoon. We have on average 28 people who attend each week. A significant number who attend are from an Irish background many are socially isolated living on their own. The Tuesday Club provides a meeting place, improving social contact whilst also promoting good physical and mental health. The chair-based exercise class in the afternoon continues to be popular with the local GP surgery social prescribing patients into the service with the aim to increase mobility and balance and lessen the risk of falling. The Tuesday club has grown into a caring network where those that miss a particular week without notice are checked on. The Welfare Coordinator is available to offer advice and support throughout the day. ## **Funding and support** Both the Welfare Project and the Tuesday Club receive funding through the Government of Ireland Emigrant Support Programme, Awards for All and Give Clarity. This support is greatly appreciated also a big thank you goes to both the Aeolian Sinfonia (who play a number of fundraising concerts throughout the year) and Gail’s Bakery who donate bread and cakes twice a week. **Page** 2 **of 4** Charity Number: 1136596 Website: www.sanktus.org Email: sanktus.welfare@gmail.com Address: 4 Lady Margaret Road London NW5 2XT **Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ending 30 June 2023** There are a number of different organisations who support SanKTus throughout the year including Wrap Up London, Caritas, the SVP and the local community centre. Special thanks goes to all of the volunteers who give up their time and without their hard work and dedication we would not be able to run the project. ## **Our finances** SanKTus has been supported with grants from the Embassy of Ireland and GiveClarity and some smaller donations within this financial year. This year the payments were again higher than the receipts and the accounts are showing an overspent of £6,139. The main reason for this is that the grant from Awards for All came in after the end of this financial year. This grant was again £10,000. SanKTus aims to have a reserve of approximate 20% of annual payments at the end of the financial year. This is based on the receipt of the Grant from the Embassy of Ireland in July or August. SanKTus needs to have enough funds left for at least 2-3 months of payments. At the end of this financial year there was a reserve of 19,651 **Page** 3 **of 4** Charity Number: 1136596 Website: www.sanktus.org Email: sanktus.welfare@gmail.com Address: 4 Lady Margaret Road London NW5 2XT **Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ending 30 June 2023** not including restricted funds, which is above the target and covers approximately 5- 6 months of payments. SanKTus has only a small number of major donors and when one of these donors falls away the ongoing activities can only continue in its current form for a short period. It is also important to note that approx. 70% of the payments go to the salary of our co-ordinator and without our co-ordinator we would not be able to do the work that we do throughout the year. ## **Declarations** **The chair of the trustees declares that the trustees have approved the above trustees’ report.** **Signed on behalf of the chair of the trustees:** **----- Start of picture text -----**
