East Durham Community Initiatives Limited st Trustees, Report and Financial Statements 31 March 2024 Chairman's statement As the Chairman of EDCI I have constanuy reviewed and assessed the progress of the Manager and all of the Trusts employees actions and compliance lo ensure that the full instructions and direction of EDCI'S Trustees have been complied with and adhered too. It gives me pleasure on behalf of the Trustee's to thank the management team and staff for their compliance, delivery and for the excellent progress made since the last AGM. Again, I can confirm that as a result of their commitment and hard work EDCI has, not only moved from period of financial uncertainty to expansion of our comniunity projects and have now achieved greater financial security whilst increasing the support of more benef￿larieS in our local community. Our charities new project the"Help to Rent. continues to expand providing homes and inclusion of many more beneficiaries. thus providing tenancy security, by supporting their stated needs to a point that they are more confident and self-sufficient to live independenuy when they move from Ouf SUPPOrted accommodations into their forever home in social housing. The truslees recognize the hard work and dedication of the staff in rnanaging the ser¥ices we provide both to individuals and to organizations. and we also know that none of this is achievable without the commitment and dedication that enables us to carry out these services. It is impossible to emphasise enough our gratitude to the staff who give so much of their time to support the local community. The trustees would also like to thank all the organizations who provided financial or voluntary support. with their help and with good management we have continued to deliver our core requirements, and so we offer sincere thanks to all our staff, volunteers, supporters, and friends. Looking to the future. we have many new challenges, not least in the reduction in funding for the services we provide. At the previous AGM our Trust instructed the manager and his team to undertake a feasibility study to convert Jobling House into 7 accommodation units. I can confirm thal all works have been competed lo an excellent high standard. We have secured long tenn commissioning for via 2 services that covers all the 7 new apartrnenls. The first commissioned service.. secures all the top floor rooms (The home Base project), and secured additional funding of 367.92 per week, per annum this equates to £95,659. The new project in the downsiairs 2 rooms rooms wlll enable us to help more beneficiaries and has increased our charity income by 70k and is another commissioned service from Durham County Council. On behalf of the Trust, I have congratulated all the staff for their hard worf< and commitment as they have taken our Instwctions and delivered. We will continue to be a responsible and accountable charity as this is an integral part of dellvering our ainis and objectives as staled in our articles of association. this nol only reflected in our culture, but also In our approach to governance and delivering our services whilst observing our commitment to our charitable works. Our commitment to serve the local communtties in which we operate is stronger than ever. As the Chainnan I have monitored and maintained a robust and effective system of internal controls and risk managemenl, these processes are an essential part of EDCI governance stralegy and a key part of operating as a ￿spOnSible charity. I can confim) that the Board is committed to ensuring that we not only operate effectively, but Ihat each Trustee remains committed lo their role and continues to make a valuable contribution 10 the l)usiness. As a Trust. we remain confident that we will be proactive in developing new strategies and take appropriate actions in order to continue to meet the changtng needs of the communÉty and securing new income strearns which will enhance our long-term growth prospects in our areas of operation. This reflects our belief that we will continue to support our community future years. William Finkle (Chaiman)
