2. New Trustees Recruitment : With the onboarding of a new set of trustees, we will be reflecting on strategy and future plans as well as refreshing SHCAs approach to fulfilling the core objectives with renewed vigour and fresh approaches to engage the community

3. Create a Reserves Policy : The Trustees have established a reserves policy that will be reviewed annually at every AGM to ensure that the appropriate levels of reserves are maintained and SHCA is able to continue to fund its activities without unnecessary disruption as a result of peaks and troughs in income

4. Collaborate with other Charitable Organisations by hosting joint events in order to help them realise benefits proportionally and in a supportive manner

The trustees also wish to thank key individuals and their families who have reaffirmed their faith and trust with SHCA by providing financial support, time and positive energy and to all those who have participated in year round religious activities ……Thank you!
