Summary of the main
activities undertaken for the
public benefit in relation to
these objects (include within
this section the statutory
declaration that trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit)

With Lockdown still in force Eagle improvised having weekly
activity events in Clissold Park including, weather permitting,
outdoor badminton, petanque, and rounders, a picnic was also
provided.
The Quiz and Bingo evenings were delivered via Zoom as was a
Book Club and a twice weekly ‘check in‘ which was facilitated by
Mick H.
In April a Theatre Group taster session led to a group running
weekly at St Mary’s Church hall, Upper Street for 10 weeks This
was a co production with the RecoveristTheatre (Islington Peoples
Theatre) group following a recommendation from our local funder
(Cripplegate) These sessions eventually led to
some of our members performing a play in front of
an audience which included some ‘Names’ from
the Film industry and ultimately led to a number of
the group having a small part in a feature film.
There have been outings to Ten Pin Bowling operating in a limited
capacity due to Covid lockdown restrictions. Badminton was still
operating but was halted in August after a burst Water Main
flooded the building causing its closure.
In July with the end of NHS Infection Control Restrictions Eagle
returned to 28b King Henrys Walk to resume normal Wednesday
social club activities. At this stage the Charity were down to our last
few hundred pounds, so the Management Committee personally
funded the food, prizes and activities for service users for a period
of four weeks.
The Thursday Smart Group facilitated by Ritchie Philip continued
with a good regular
turnout and was eventually funded
separately by A4A
grant for a further twelve months in
recognition of the
valuable community work it was
delivering.
September saw our quarterly grant payments reinstated and Eagle
took a late summer beach trip fifteen members to Viking Bay in
Broadstairs to celebrate.
In November Eagles successful gardening group co production
with Better Lives, led by Maxine and John won the Royal College
of Psychiatrists 1stprize for green and sustainable projects.
Alongside Eagles regular weekly Wednesday social evening and
Friday gardening club activities the rest of the year saw regular
cinema trips to the Rio Cinema and Bowling at Rowans
With a fully operational kitchen fifty excited Eagle members were

able to have a Christmas meal to round off seasonal festivities with friends in a warm and safe space. A seasonal trip to The Hackney Empire organised by Ritchie to take in the Pantomime Mother Goose was enjoyed by 25 members booing and hissing with delight throughout

The beginning of 2023 was celebrated with 22 Eagle members Ice Skating and hot chocolating at Somerset House plus a trip the Old Vic theatre to see the play Jitney. A dozen members had an Archery experience at Caxton House Community centre in the north of the borough with three of our service users claiming medals from a small competition once skills were honed. PS nobody was used for tyarget practice!!! During the year Eagle contracted 128 Hours counseeling support on behalf of Eagle members who could not afford to access such services financially. Clients signposting to counsellors was coordinated through Mya, herself a counsellor, to ensure confidentiality and objectivity of the Eagle service.

Please find below an extract from the Eagle counselling support service report for the year April 2022 to March 2023 “A number of users engaging in counselling had little support network around them or they continued to engage in relationships that were unhelpful or even abusive to them. They experienced loneliness, lack of understanding from their family and/or friends, they lacked a sense of purpose and/or they lived in insecure housing provision.

All of them expressed that they didn’t have anyone to talk to and welcomed an opportunity to have counselling.”

A Job well done so Big Shout Out to management team who delivered in very difficult and trying health and financial environment.

Section E Financial review

The charity does attempt to keep three months of running costs as Brief statement of the reserves. A temporary freeze on funding by the National Lottery forced charity’s policy on reserves the Charity to run down to almost zero whilst maintaining a framework of activities for the Charity’s vulnerable client base. The Charity is now in a more robust financial position following clarification of operations with funders and resumption of agreed cash payments. The charity is now back on course for three months running costs in reserves. Ideally as the Charity grows and the time from making an application to the time of the award increase the organisation will aim at six months of reserves. Details of any funds materially in deficit
