LIVERPOOL IRISH CENTRE
## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
In fulfilment of its charitable objectives the Liverpool Irish Centre enables the following cultural activities to take place: Irish Dancing; Irish Music; Irish Language; Sequence Dancing; Irish Flute (marching) band; Lowlands Ceili Music Group; Irish Book Club; Ceilis and concerts featuring Irish music and dance.
The Liverpool Irish Centre also provides welfare services for the elderly and vulnerable as follows: tea dances and lunch clubs for pensioners; memory loss groups; health and fitness activities such as working in the garden which is in the grounds of the Centre, weight monitoring, healthy cooking and walking.
The Liverpool Irish Centre is a regular base for the John Mitchels and Wolfe Tones Gaelic games clubs and the GAA County Board meet at the Centre regularly.
The Liverpool Irish Centre is now established as the home of Irish culture on Merseyside. It has been based at its current premises for twenty years. During that time hundreds of people have come through the doors each week to engage in the activities listed above. Although the emphasis and focus is on Irish related activities and the majority of customers are Irish or of Irish descent, the activities are open to all and many who have no connections with Ireland come to learn to dance and play music or attend a class or a concert or function. In addition the Centre has forged strong links with others such as the Indian, Nepalese and Polish communities who regularly use the premises for their functions.
The Liverpool Irish Centre has strong links and associations with other institutions such as Irish Community Care; the Irish government; the Irish in Britain group; local universities including the Institute of Irish Studies; local and Irish media in Britain.

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Significant activities**
The year saw a return to something like normality after the lockdowns of the previous financial period and the attendant disruption to our normal charitable and trading activities. April 2021 was the last committee meeting on Zoom.
Most of our traditional activities came back stronger than ever: the Bolger Cunningham dance group saw numbers rise significantly in September 2021, and supper ceilis, pensioners' lunches and tea dances were instantly very popular again. Trips out for our pensioners started up again.
We had our first AGM since 2019 on 16 September 2021which was well attended and at this meeting the property was the main item on the agenda. The Centre has been at its current location since 1999 and the lease expired in July 2021. We remained in negotiations for a new lease on the premises. Little progress was made during the year but we did have some draft plans drawn up for what the premises might look like. The intention is to undertake a refurbishment programme to bring the building up to date and fit for purpose for the next twenty years. The Centre has established itself now and although people still talk about the old location at Mount Pleasant there is a growing recognition of the advantages of the current location - parking, external facilities, bus routes, amongst others.
On-line presence continued to grow impressively. Virtual activities had been an important feature of lockdown and had helped considerably to keep the Centre vibrant and relevant even when largely closed for business. The enhanced profile this created has had long term benefits and interest in the Centre has never been higher.
Similarly, the garden - which was a lockdown project arising out of the growing recognition of the benefits of being in the outdoors - remained a hive of activity both in terms of cultivation and recreation. There were many outdoor events and our external facilities are now integral to what we do and are a great resource. During the year we erected a shed in the garden which was officially opened on 1st October 2021 by Simon Coveney TD. The shed is another great facility for the Centre and is a part of our commitment to the health (mental and physical) and wellbeing of our members.
It was fairly clear from the accountant's report at the AGM, that if the Centre is busy then we will be (modestly) profitable, and the year saw increased use of the Centre during the day with coffee mornings proving popular and additional classes being added to the wellbeing repertoire under the auspices of the Sainte le Cheile project. Sundays became vibrant and were well attended and the musical offerings were much appreciated by our patrons. By the time of the AGM we were pleased to report that activity levels had led to an improved financial position. The main features of that were as follows: an increase in the number of concerts and weekend events generally; growing numbers in the health and wellbeing areas eg the running club and yoga class; more outdoor activities eg parties and barbecues in the garden.
Christmas 2021 was a great success. It was the first proper celebration of Christmas for some time of course and there was almost a month of activities: wreath-making, readings and carols, packed concerts. Hundreds pf children met Father Christmas in the shed which had been transformed into a grotto. That will become another great tradition at the Centre.
Lockdown had started for us with the cancellation of our very popular St Patrick's mass and the other festivities associated with the national celebration. The mass returned in March 2022 and the feast day was marked in good style with the Centre full all day and a packed programme of events. We were able as a community to reflect on the return to normal life and the value we now truly appreciated in coming together to celebrate the many aspects of Irish culture the promotion of which is the central objective of the Liverpool Irish Centre. For that, and for all those who make it possible - our members, our funders (principally the Emigrant Support Programme and the National Lottery Community Fund), our staff and volunteers, we were truly thankful.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Social investments**
The charity provides young people with an environment to learn about their culture and develop skills in music and dancing. It also provides facilities to act as a base for meetings and fundraising for the various teams. We also provide for our elderly people by arranging a number of social functions on a regular basis where they can meet socially and get advice on social welfare problems if necessary. We facilitate local communities, schools, churches and also provide opportunities to hold functions after funerals. We welcome groups from all ethnic backgrounds to have social and other activities.
## **Beneficiaries**
All members of our community benefit from our activities and advice and support we give. The local community have a facility for fundraising and a place where receptions can be held after funerals. Liverpool Irish Centre is there to serve all people irrespective of their race, religion or sex.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Principal funding sources**
We have several sources of charitable funding. The Irish government through the Emigrant Support Programme continues to provide financial support. As in previous years we have received 80% of the salary of the Community and Cultural Administrator, money towards looking after our elder members and a contribution towards the maintenance of our premises. The trustees decided not to make application for funding in respect of the Heritage Officer post which no longer exists.
The Centre made application for funding for the Slainte le Cheile project to the National Lottery Community Fund. We secured three years of funding which pays for the salary of the project coordinator plus some additional financial assistance including a part time assistant. We have received other grants from funds including the Irish Youth Foundation and the Liverpool City Region.
Our commercial activities have had to adapt in light of the lockdowns. We have benefited from much increased sales from the shop, which has helped to compensate for the loss of sales from the bar. We have received new income from our membership scheme which will be recurring on an annual basis. The members have responded to our difficulties with a variety of ways for raising money including our largest ever raffle at Christmas. All of our commercial revenue is generated to support the continued use of the premises as a centre for Irish cultural activity and for looking after members of our community whose needs have also increased and changed as a result of the pandemic.
## **Investment policy and objectives**
The powers of the Executive Committee in relation to investments are set out clearly in sections 4a and 4d of the constitution, a copy of which has been lodged with the Charity Commission.
## **Reserves policy**
The Executive Committee have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested on tangible fixed assets of the charity should be two months of the resources expended, which equates to approximately £55,000 - £65,000. At this level, the Executive Committee feel that they would be able to carry on the charity's activities in the event of a significant drop in income. At present the unrestricted reserves of £30,934 do not reach the target level and the members of the Executive Committee are considering ways to increase funding.

LIVERPOOL IRISH CENTRE
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
## **Organisational structure and appointment of trustees**
An Executive Committee of up to twelve members meets monthly and administers the charity. Smaller groups organise and run classes for Irish Dancing, Irish Music, Irish Language, sports and other activities. Irish Community Care Merseyside, itself a registered charity, runs a monthly tea dance and social event that is attended mainly by elderly people and those people not in full time employment. A number of excursions and dinners are also provided for our elderly community throughout the year.
New trustees are proposed and agreed at trustees meetings and the appropriate skills developed.
## **Related parties**
The charity has a close working relationship with Irish Community Care Merseyside, also a registered charity, so that social and welfare provision in this area is not duplicated. The charity also works with non-registered organisations and individuals in the provision of cultural activities to the Irish and local community.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LIVERPOOL IRISH CENTRE
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Liverpool Irish Centre**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Liverpool Irish Centre (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
