also known and referred to as LCCA. On 20 March 2020, LCCA was converted from Company
Limited by Guarantee into a Chanlabl8 Incorporated Organization ICIOI. with the same name
and also registered wlth the Charity Commission for England and Wale8 number 1188688, with
no member liability.

LCCA has adopted the Charltable InGorporated Organization {CIOI conslllullon and is gov8rned
by its Exe¢utlve Committee (Trusleesl whose members are elected annually al the Annual
General Meeting or co-opted by the Trusloes.
Oryan18atlonal Strueturo
LCCA Is governed by 5ts Executlve Commlttee whlch is r8$ponslble for setting the slrateglc
directlon and policies of the charlty. The Executive Committe8 carry the ultlmate responsibility
for the conduct of LCCA and for ensuring that the charity satisfi&$ its legal and contractual

Major r18k8
Trustees recognise that any major ￿SkS lo which the charity is exposed need lo be revi8wed

and managing its risk. revlewlng the corporate risk register and ensuring a￿lon plans are in
place to mitigate ils key risks.
Included in external risks is that of the toss of funding. The effects of this have been minimised
by the procedures in place, which have resulted in funding being secured from a variety of
sources including contracts with local authorities. The charity continues lo seek to diversify its
funding sources. Internal risks are minirnised by the implementation of procedures for
aulhorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all
operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed lo
ensure that they still me8t the needs Df the charity.

Domiclllary Care Services
The main purpose for th8 service 15 to facilitate and improve the health and well-being for those
elderly Chinese and Vietnamese residents of south London who are often isolated and lead
socially exclud8d lives.
During the Covid-19 crisis, the project was facing an exlrem¢ly challenging lime. We
appreciated all of our extraordinary carer8 who continued to play such a vilal role and to provide
hours lo the housebound users without service disruptions. Durlng the pandemic, we were able
lo provide sufficient PPE for our care workers as health and safety were the priority concerns
lo our workers. In order tts Sustain continuity of caTe for the vulnerabllity in the community an
Infection Control Fund from the Lambelh Adult Social Car8 was avallable for those care workers
if they were unable lo carry out their duties due lo Coronavirus isolations.
In the year, we delivered a total of 8471.5 hours {2021122: 8,0861 for 18 clients12021122'. 1 $1.
The project's turnover amounted to £152,914.3212021122.. £146,646.76), which had a rise of
4.3% compared with the previous year. Our future objectives and targets are to recrull more
carers and provide them with more trainings to strengthen further our work force.

4. Flnanclal R8vl8w
Flnan¢lo1 Posltlon
Incoming Resources in thè year amounted to £202,029 (2021122 - £189,217).
A deficit of £19,821 was made in the year12021122 - £51.298 d8fl¢lt). On 31 March 2023 total
fvnd$ amunled lo £228,220 {2021122- £248,041).
R8s•rves Pollcy
The trustees are required to ensure that free monies ar8 available in each financial year lo meet
any reasonably foreseeable ¢ontlngency. The charity will maintain a projection of income for
al lea51 one year ahead and will ensure that this continues lo be derived from as wide a variety
of sources as possible. They will take all necessary steps lo ensure that at no time within this
period would it be possible for the Cessallon of one or more funding streams to present so
serious a challenge lo the future of the organisation that it could not be managed so as to
continue to provide a best value $6rvlce.
In reviewing the potential costs that Could arise should a significant reduction in income be
suffered, the trustees have determined thal 'free' reserves should be maintained equal to 12
months of unrestricted total operating expendlture. Free reserves are defined as total free
reserves less net frAed assèts. This is equivalent to £126,729 in the year.
The amount of the current expenditur8 of £221,850 is above the required level of reserves and
the trusloes will continue lo make thè éffort to achieve surpluses in future years to contribute
towards achieving this aim.

seems heading lo a summer of discontent and, even worse, a possible recession. Being a
charitable organizalion, LCCA is facing a real economi¢ problem. In addition, after the shutdow
of the Cenlre, the management and most older members seemed to be distancing from the
Association and all activities. To keep the LCCA afloal il 1$ essential to recruit new and younger
members. To restart all Centre activities has become the priority and 16 a real challenge.
The immedSale strale9lc plan$ for the Association will be '.
