A. Trustees. Report:
The Trustees are submitting their annual report and the financial statements for
Elimhouse Community Association Southwark, (ECAS) for the year ended 31 March
2024.
The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements, for an
organization being a CIO comply with current statutory requirements, of the CIO'S
governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice
{SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities. issued in March 2005.
B. Structure, Governance and Management:
ECAS is constituted as a charitable CIO registered with the Charity Commission for
England and Wales on the 24 April 2015. The CIO governing document was adopted
22 April 2015. However. the organisation was formed in November 1987 as the
Black Eldedy Group Southwark.
C. Organizational structure and decision-making:
The Trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the CIO
as registered with the Charity Commission. Trustees volunteer their time freely and
receive no remuneration or other financial benefits
The Trustees meet together as a body (the management committee) on a 8 weekly
cycle and are responsible for all decisions taken in relation to the running of the CIO.
This also includes the community facilities and activities provided by the CIO. To
assist with the smooth running of the CIO. trustees may set up committees to help
them oversee certain aspects of the CIO. Two committees are the Personnel Sub
Committee and the Finance Sub Committee for overseeing human resources and
finance matters, respectively. All Sub-committees report back and make
recommendationls to the management committee. The sub-committees meet each 4
times annually. The chair of trustees and both sub-committees whose membership
reflects the particular skills that trustee can both bring to the work of the sub-
committees
The day to day management and administration of the community facilities are
delegated to the principal office (the Centre Manager) who is supported by a staff
team. The Centre manager is also responsible for the collection of donationslfees
from the community users and use by other community groups. All fees, grants and
donations received are used for the furtherance of the objects of the CIO.
D. Recruitment and appointment of trustees:
The existing trustees are responsible for the recruitment of new trustees. in so doing
the trustees seek the views and recommendations of the community network, centre
users and potential centre users. Trustees believe this approach ensures
representation from different community groups and. a membership which subscribe
to the objects of the CIO. We find this approach ensures diversity on the
management committee, including access for people with disability. This approach
also ensures the involvement of the local community in the management of the CIO
and fosters good relations between the CIO and local community it serves. New
trustees are required to complete and sign ECAS "conflict of interest" form before
they can participate in meeting of the management committee.

Eliinhouie Communit>. AssOLiation Southwark
In selecting trustees ECAS seeks to identify people who regularly attend events and
are supportive of the work of the CIO, particularly those who willingly volunteer in our
community work and the elderly day centre. Potential trustees are usually
recommended by other members, other trustees. staff or open advertisement. Where
possible helshe would have an inteNiew with the chair of the management
committees and or the Centre Manager.
The roles and responsibilities of trustees would be explained, how the CIO function,
target group as the beneficiaries. ECAS constitution allows for open election at a
general meeting of the CIO or by cooption by the management committee. Anyone
who subscribe to the objects of the organisation can seek election at the Annual
General Meeting. This process also allows due consideration of the person's
eligibility, personal competence, specialist knowledge and skills as a nomination
form giving details, experience, skills and knowledge is required before the date of
that AGM.
E. Trustees Induction and Training:
Following appointment, new trustees are introduced to their roles as Trustees of
ECAS. They are given a copy of the ECAS'S governing documents and a copy of the
most recent trustees, annual report. financial statement and guide to the policies and
procedures adopted by the CIO. A number of publications from the charity
Commission are also provided including the guidance on charities public benefit and
the relief of sickness distress and poverty for public benefits. The new trustees are
made aware of the scope and their responsibilities under the Charity Acts. nationally
recommended Good Governance" guidance. Initially, it is the case that new trustees
work with existing trustees assisting on particular activities and projects run by the
CIO. After satisfactory feedback from existing trustees, they are then given the tasks
of leading a particular activity or project, reporting progress to the trustees at MC
meeting.
F. Risk Management:
Trustees have assessed the risk the CIO faces and have drawn up a matrix which
identifies the major risks and area of activity. the nature of those risks, the likelihood
of the risk happening and the measures taken to manage them. Trustees review this
matrix regularly at their meetings and at meetings of the two sub-committees.
finance and personnel. The trustees are satisfied that systems are in place, or
arrangements are in hand. to manage the risks that have been identified. In
particular, the financing of the CIO is kept under review, appropriate Criminal Bureau
(DBS) checks, all-purpose insurance, supported by regular policy reviews. These
reviews are made of all the work ECAS does and of personals who work with elderly
and other vulnerable groups within the organization and the local community.
G. Aims and activities:
The objects of the CIO set out in the CIO'S governing document {its constitution) and
are summarized as follows.
1) To promote and protect the physical. mental and psychological health of the
local inhabitants by means of providing community day care.

Elimhoube Communit). Aisociation Southwark
2) to relieve sickness and distress from amongst the local inhabitants,
particularly persons of Caribbean descent who are vulnerable and are in
necessitous circumstances, especially those who by reason of age, infirmity
or disability are in need of care and attention, by provision, maintenance and
management of a community facility delivering leisure time activities and
community engagement events.
H. Our objectives:
ECAS is a community lead organisation. This being so its objectives are set to reflect
the needs and aims of the local community. Each year trustees review the objectives
and activities to ensure they continue to reflect our aims. In carrying out these
reviews trustees considers the Charity Commission's general guideline on public
benefits.
Our dual aims remain to provide a facility where BAME elderly people and local
community can meet for community care and to provide community facility for all the
inhabitants in the London Borough of Southwark and the adjacent neighborhoods.
Our long-tem ambition is to build the self-confidence of BAME elderly people in the
area and ensure that local people benefit from the community facilities and activities
which also help making the area. vibrant diverse and hannonious for its inhabitants.
l. Strategies:
Trustees aim to make the community centre, our services and activities accessible
and welcoming to everyone in the local area, where people get together and benefit
from the work, services and activities being delivered. The community centre is open
at all time for care and leisure time activities. Our plan is that the elderly people day
centre will be opened Mondays to Fridays 09.'00 hours to 16:00 hours and there are
occasional events some weekends.
Important parts of our strategy are the protection and promotion of the
publiclcomrnunity welfare, health care and the well-being of elderly people,
particularly BAME elderly people. The community facilities and activities include
health and care initiatives, public health and general welfare rights advice,
information workshops and seminars. These are widely advertised throughout and
the community. ECAS welcomes the participation of a51 in the local community. Some
activities are free. Others are affordable,. can be as little as £5 per visit to the Elderly
Day Centre. However, the majorty of the activities and services are funded by
donations, grant funder. family supported or by our working partnership with the local
council.
ECAS maintains a policy of "never turn anyone away who seeks help from the
Centre and who wants to benefit from our services and activities" We operate
an open door services and activities policy, based on first come first serve and that
the most destitute people should benefit from our work. Considerations are given
and concessions are made for people who need our services and not having the
means to pay. Elderly people are able to benefit from serviceslactivities. ECAS
assist day centre users in securing funds for elderly people in these situations.

Elimhou>e Community Aiiociation Southw"ark
J. Use of volunteers.
Volunteers are important resources in delivering the day to day care support and
community centre activities for older people. Volunteers are involved in most of our
work including community activities. For instance, in any one year there are between
5 and 10 regular volunteers. These are people who are willing to give their time
freely. However, where specific funds are available volunteers are reimbursed
volunteer's expenses., travelling and lunch. The trustees give their time freely.
Trustees encourage centre users and people from the local community to be
involved in the Centre as voluntary and to share their skills with others. All
volunteers and staff are DBS certified. This is updated every 3 years.
K. Activities and achievements:
In April 2023 the local community was still experiencing the fallout and effect of long
COVID 19. There are other prevailing social welfare challenges, such as the cost-of-
living crisis and health issues as in dementia, the onset of
and mental
health problems. These are issues directly impinging on the quality of life and
loneliness of elderly people in the community. The Day Centre had made progress
and was fully functional over 4 days per week. including "Winter Wann Sessions"
every Wednesday.
Every day the Day Centre was open the services users had, transport service to and
from the Centre, morning breakfast, and lunch and afternoon tealbiscuits.
Throughout the day the elderly people were supported to take part in handcraft,
painting, domino games, bingo and other table games, reading of books, magazines
and newspapers. Other activities included weekly sessions learning to use
computers for communication and access to other agencies, GP, NHS access
points, utilities providers, etc. The Centre also provided health care and promotion
activities, such as twice weekly gentle exercise sessions, infonmation sessions with
health care advisor, visiting optician who providing eye test for centre users. There is
always a display of health care. public health leaflet and pamphlets users use and
can take home.
There were two seaside outings. One was for centre users and families and friends
to Hastings on the 13 July 2023. The other was to Southend-on-sea, on the 12
th
September 2023. The South-end outing was for wheelchair bound and elderly
people and those with mobility needs and their carer. For occasional events., on the
26th May 2023 there was a Community and Family Day celebrating the Coronation
of King Charles 111 on the 27th July 2023 was the Centre's "Open Day" which
provided infomiation workshops, family activities and Cultural Experience Reminisce
Group Session and some entertainment: the August Bank Holiday Community "Bar
Ih
Be Que" on the 26 August 2023, which was held jointly with Southwark Law Centre.
This event also recognized and celebrated the Caribbean Pioneers who arrived in
the UK 75 years ago, "Windrush Generation"
Christmas Lunch was another
community event of benefit to centre users. family. local people and the Centre's
community partners, held in December 2023.The participation rate amongst regular
centre users was in the region of 80% whereas from the community and
familieslfriends in the same was about 20 %.

A leaflet advertising the programme of
activities organized and delivered by the
Outreach Worker (Natalie Worgs),
The Outreach Projects was an important part
of the Centre's activities and services. For
instance, the outreach worker was an active
ambassador for the Centre and lone OAP in
Southwark. She was the main Gontact
between the Centre the community partners
and lone elderly people. Many of the elderly
people in the community are still some fearful
of leaving their home, others who were unconnected to agencies providing activities
and health and social care support for elderly people in the area. Natalie delivered
the training sessions teaching elderly people, in the use of social media and the use
of computers to access basic social welfare and health care services. At other times
she would be seeing helping centre users with day care and other leisure time
activities in the Centre.
Some actual data:
The organisation contact list has 138. Although throughout the year new
elderly people joined the day centre, there has been only as small increase
due to some users passing away. Three regular centre users moved to other
health and social care agencies, which were more suitable to their needs. At
each event over 70 + people. This year we provide Christmas Lunch for 85
people. Some of the beneficiaries had "take away to take home on leaving.
The Family Day celebrating King Charles 111 Coronation was the most
popular event this year, with 143 attendances. Overall an estimated 2400
people directly benefited from the Centre's activities and services through the
period and up to 3500 people relatives, carers through partnerships and
community network involvement and activities. For instance, attending other
activities and contribution to the wider community.
The number of regular elderly day centre users in March 2024 was 38 elderly
people. This is a slight increase over 2022123. However. as stated above
some of the regular users have passed away. There is still a very diverse
group of elderly people benefiting from the Centre. These beneficiaries are
mainly from the Caribbean, African. South Asia and European descent. The
increase in day centre users is the result of more LBS referrals and private fee
paying users. We also do monthly press ads and engage with the local
community, through word of mouth and the voluntary sector network.
It is also the case that as a 'local business" ECAS contributes to local
economy. ECAS employs 10 jobs. It supports 8 volunteers with work
experience. It purchases goods and services from other providers and had an
51
annual tumover of £215,371 in the year ending 31 March 2024.

Some comments we received are as follows:
This day centre is convenient and I have my routine, but there used to be
more activities ant they would stimulate you,
I cook when l am at home. My daughter goes out to work so when she does I
tell her I want to go to the day centre. I live with my daughter.
We need more adult table games, such as puzzles and dancing activities and
dancing events,
The Centre in ni￿ and clean, the food is very good and the stafflvolunteers
are very nice. l just do dominos and had to entertain ourselves if we did not
have dominoes. We would do anything else. There in not much on offer.
Service users have to find something to do, if they are not interested in the
church service. Questionnaires have been done before but complaints were
not responded to and nothing changed. Staff has met with this respondent
and she made suggestions which we have taken up.

LBS "After COVID 19 Outreach Project" and the Lottery SCSF funding expired
March 2024. The ' Engagement and Outreach Project" expired December 2023.
Funding for the Development and Centre Managers expired September 2024. This
being so, throughout 2023124 the stafflvolunteer team worked with other
organisations in responding to the social welfare needs of disadvantaged and
vulnerable communities in Southwark, particularly BAME elderly people in needs of
health and social care help.
In Summary, overall ECAS Community Centre provided a holistic community
development programme of activities and social welfare services. The main focus of
the Centre's services were to tackle loneliness and isolation amongst older eldedy
people and at the same time improve the quality of life of elderly people and the
health and well-being of the local community as a whole.
L. Partnership working and performance reviews
The organisation continues to maintain its service to the community. This is a major
achievement against the backdrop of losing some funding which expired during the
first half of the year.
This being so volunteers have played a pivotal role supporting needy old people in
the Southwark. Without volunteers. the "community coming togetherf, and giving free
time these services would not have been possible. Volunteers not only assist with
day care, they also deliver activities, like our arts and crafts sessions and faith
sessions each week. They also help with occasional event.
The fees received from User Groups and events are vital for our cash flow and the
organisation running Cost. The community working together as trustees, other
supportive individuals, our staff and volunteer team are commitments. Their
commitment enabled the Centre to deliver a full programme of service. activities and
events to Southwark vulnerable OALS. Having a relatively smaller staff team the day

centre has also had to improve organizational practices and work methods
to stay afloat and maintain a quality of services for local elderly people.
Southwark Council has decided to go out to the wider community in providing an
African and Caribbean Elderly Day Facility for Southwark elderly residents. Trustees
must seek to engage with this LBS Project and a take an active part in its
development. One option is to position itself as the operator of this new facility and
continue to serve as a voice for the Caribbean elderly communities in Southwark.
It is most important that Trustees continue to maintain good governance and
regularly updates ECAS policies and procedures. For instance ensuring sound
financial systems, which are supported by Quick Books System, continue to engage
Croner Group for human resource support, Charity Commission and Southwark
Communities information about new guidance. regulations, support and advice. Last
year's Away Day Training for Trustees and the staff team is now and annual
calendar initiative.
M. Financial review:
a) Risk management:
The trustees have reviewed and examined the major risk which the CIO faces and
believe that maintaining our free reserves at a reasonable level, combined with our
annual review of the controls over key financial systems will provide sufficient
resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other
operational and business risks which we face and confinm that they have established
systems to mitigate the significant risks.
b) Financial Reserves Policy
Trustees are aware of and take note that a reserve policy is a key issue for
the Charity Commission as the regulator for registered charity. ECAS
Trustees have taken note of the Charity Commission requirements and that
where the levels of reserves are set too high this would tie up money, which
could and should be spent on charitable activities. On the other hand if they
are too low. the future of the charity may be put at risk.
Our Reserves Policy aim to setting money aside as a reserve, which is to
protect Charity against unexpected drops in income and or an emergency.
Our financial reserves policy allows the organisation to take advantage of
new opportunities, so long as the opportunity is in furtherance of the
organisation's objects. Our financial reserves policy also ensures trustees
monitor spending and report restricted funds and unrestricted funds,
Trustees are conscious of the level of reserves the CIO needs to hold.
because this is an important part of our financial plans to ensure sound
financial management. Our reserves policy also serves to benefit donors,
funders and other stakeholders,
13

Elimhouse Communitj. Ai50ciation South￿ark
Trustees have carried its annual reviews of the reserves of the CIO. Based
on current and future plans of the financial activities of the CIO. This being
so, trustee's reserves policy is to hold funds to meet 3 months, of the
operational costs of the Community Centre. including community activities,
care support and outreach programme, against any unexpected drops in
income and in an emergency. Where this level of reserves is not achieved.
there will be notes in the trustee's and financial report to explain the reason
and the measures trustees are putting in place to address short-falls.
iv)
In calculating the CIO'S reserve for this year, the trustees have deducted from
the total of unrestricted funds of the CIO. The level of reserves which was
available year ending 31" March 2024 are set out in the attached financial
statements. The net movement in funds for the year amounted to £39,711 compared
with £61.167 in 2023. The retained reserves at 31" March 2024 amounted to
£39,711
N. Tangible fixed assets:
The organisation has no fixed assets
O. Principal funding sources:
The main sources of income are from fees and charges
P. Investment policy and performance:
Trustee policy is to ensure that all banking of cash and cheques are done within 2
days of receipt to accrue maximum interest and all surplus funds are placed in to a
deposit account in the name of the charity. The￿ have been no investment activityl
other bank interest received
Q. Principal funding sources:
The main sources of income are from fees, charges, donations and grant funding.
R. Plans for the future periods;
As detailed above, under review are activities and organizational operation. There
are a number of issues that the charity is addressing in order to be in a better
situation to represent and help the community and the target group" (older people).
LBS have made major improvements which are welcomed. However, given that LBS
is also planning another BAME elderly centre in Southwark our immediate task is to
engage with the development of the LBS Black Elderly Project and position itself in a
position to be a key partner in the delivery of the LBS Project.
Further, ECAS needs to give serious consideration of what it will provide in future
and how this will be funded. It is most important ECAS expands its on-going
marketing. review fees. expand funding activities, and seek out to attract other
business opportunities "market" such as providing for vulnerable mental health
supportand review the staff team. ECAS must also take positive steps to engage in
partnership working with other agencies. Annual need assessment survey and a
14

Eliinhou>e Community Association sOuth￿"ark
development program for trustees, staff and volunteers are also vital
components of our future plans for 2023124
