INTRODUCTION FROM THE CHAIR
Welcome to Lucas Ark Trustee¥ Annual R•p(rt for 2021122
The year 2021122 was our second year of operation as a registered chartty. The irrpact of Covid-19
was being felt at the earlier part of the year. Also, the financial impact still continues to be felt by
families on low income. As in the previous year, continued to exper￿nce increase in our work to
support those who experienced domestic violen* during this period. There is now a growing trend
with men between the ages 45 and 60 years. Our V￿rk with Child SeN1￿$ increased due to an
increase in domestic Violen￿ in households where chikdren are present. Our fiJndraising efforts were
geared towards financial support to struggling families. We assisted families vth purchase of
household items such as cookeries, toiletries, duvets, blankets. electric and gas top up vouchers. We
received Winter Wellbeing Fund from United in H&F in March 2021. This fund allowed us to purchase
wint8r clothing for the househotds. This included support with electric and gas top up voLKhers.
Without the help of our volunteers Y￿ would not have been able to successfully fulfill our charitable
objectives. With the help of our volunteers. we were able to wt all our growng challenges.
We operate in Croydon, Sutton and Hammersmith & Fulham boroughs. We rely heavily on the
support of volunteers to deliver the s8Nices
Yours faithfijlly.
