IRISH COMMUNITY CARE LTD COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022 Growth and consolidation are the main characteristics of the year. The Trustees. report details how and why we have been able to achieve these in yet again another successful year in challenging arcumstances Through the success of funding bids and awards. Irish Community Care has grown its staff base frorn 15 10 8 poten118123. The recruitment process has been superbty handled by Shei18 Hillhouse. Chair of the Personnel Committee, with the leadership team and other trustees playing a part. It was not ahvays an easy process bec8use of the impact of COVID restrictions and the very competrtive labour market meaning successful applicants not always taking up appointment. New staff, too, are MO like lo look for opportunrties elsewhere resulting In more chum than ICC has been used to. Nevertheless. new staff bring new skills and energy. and ICC constantly remodels the deployment of staff to best effect. 2021122 has also seen 8 re¢witmenl drive lor tw$tee$ so that we have 8 stronger Board and Can give a broader locus on strategic developments, wrth a new Business Plan being prepared for 2022-2025. Followin9 advert an*J intetwiew. we welcomed to the Board Jade Hughes and Bill Hughes. They bring wth them experience of operational processes, employment relations, risk management and soaal work. Satyem Amin. who brought us high level banking and comrnercial expertise, resigned in March. Kevin 0'8rien. who did a fantastic job in designing our original client datsb86e. resigned in July. We are gralefvl for their support. We conlinue Io seek further expertise in finance and law. Our flnances have grown, though, as ever, the short-tem nature of our funding presents a need for conllnual monitoring and reassessment. Our thanks to Liam Vvalsh and Owen Hagan. with members of the Finance and Funding Cornrnittee. for their good stewardship and vigilance. We are delighted that we have been chosen as one of three pilot organisalions for mulb. annual lunding in the Emigrant Support Programme IESPI, from the Irish Government. This should assure us of a base level ol lunding for three years. We have suggested that in evaluating the pilot. the Embassy Should consider how lo make multi-year fundin9 operale on a rolling b8SIS. Our strong financial posibon has enabled us to carry out a long overdue market comparison of salaries uslng slmll8r Irish Care organisalions. 11 is essential that ICC is able to attract and recrurt staff at an appropriate level of reward and that staff are aware of the package ol remuneration and benefits that they enjoy. Staff loyatty, comrnilment and retention remain a key concem since there is no subslrtute for the specialisl skill and dedicated help that they can bring lo support our Service Users. We conlinue lo assist as far as Tesources permit wrth cost of living increases. Wè have built links with the Northem Consulate of thè lri$h Embassy, attènding rts launch in Manchèstèr in Octob¥r 2021 and welcoming Sarah Mangan, Consul General to the North of England. to meet our staff. trustees and community members. We continue to be grateful to staff the and al the Irish Embassy in London for their continuing support lor our work. Consolidating our posify'on in Ihe North Wesl lakes lime and relies on good communic81ion tsf the excellent work we carry out. Wè arè gratelul to our staff and volunièers for the part they play in brtsadcasting what wè do, but we still have some way to go wth regular sooal media content. This is an area the Board and leadership team are giving active attention to. It has also been a topic for discussion with our partner organisations, Irish Community Care Manchester and Leeds Irish Health and Homes, through FRÉA, our Community Inte$t Company that promotes collaborative working and fundraising. Our governance arrangements continue lo be ¢onslStent with the recommendations in the Charity Code of Governance lor smaller charities. We nole that ts¥o ol our Iruslee5 have seryed ft)i rnore lttan eleven years. This does not conflict wth our Mernorandum and Articles of Associats'on where no tirne limit is imposed, and we v81ue the corporate memory that they provide. To assist the Board. there is now a Govemance. HR & Quality Assurance Lead al ICC. the post being filled in August 2022.
