Structure, governance and management
North Down Community Network (NDCN) is a company limited by guarantee. It has 56
paying members which are organisations operating in the community and voluntary sector in
or around the north of Down - and another 42 non-paying associates". The members elect a
board of up to 12 directors each of whom is recommended by a member organisation,
except for up to 3 independents who are selected because they bring particular skill or
knowledge. Its day-to-day operations are controlled by the Manager who reports to the
board.
As at 31 March 2024
Objectives and activities
NDCN exists because there are communities and individuals in Bangor and the wider north
of Down who need assistance. It seeks to help people to help themselves and its vision is
that communities in Bangor and the wider north of Down should be safe, peaceful, diverse,
inclusive, flourishing and economically vibrant- thus making the area one in which people
want to live.

In particular its charitable purposes include..
In particular its charitable purposes include-
promoting the efficiency and effectiveness of voluntary and community
organisations and projects in the north of Down by providing advice, information,
education and training, administrative support and practical assistance-
b. promoting or assisting in promoting capacity building programmes and projects for
the benefit of the people who have need of such assistance as a result of their
youth, age, disability or infirmity, or social and economic circumstances.
relieving poverty by the promotion, facilitation and organisation of adequate.
accessible and quality programmes of vocational and educational training.,
d. promoting or assisting in the promotion of cooperation and networking between
voluntary and community organisations and others in the area; and
identifying, and helping to address, the funding and policy needs of voluntary and
community organisations in the area of benefit.
NDCN acts as a focal point for the community and for community and voluntary sector
organisations in the north of Down. For them it delivers a range of regular andlor routine
services, it reacts where it can when it is asked and proactively it tries to identify issues
where it thinks it can make a difference for their benefit. Throughout 2021-2022 operations
were significantly affected both by the restrictions placed on them by the Covid-19 pandemic
and by the additional community needs that pandemic caused. Both these effects are
reflected in the following activity summaries:
Routine activities. In 2023-24 NDCN'S activities included.-
The operation of the accessible town centre drop-in space on Main Street Bangor.
the NDCN Wellbeing Centre & Community Hub.
A weekly programme of wellbeing activities Monday- Friday for people to access

Public Health Agency.

Outreach Community Development Worker who is funded by the Nl Housing
Executive.

Activities to support the health and wellbeing of people in need with signposting
services, group work sessions, a mental health forum and access to IT, funded by
the Dep of Health via CFNI.
Reactive res
onses. NDCN endeavours to respond to needs, such as those which create
a crisis andlor require an urgent response, as and when they emerge in communities.
During the year there continued to be a responsive approach to managing the impact of
the cost-of-living crisis and the pressures and challenges this placed on the most
vulnerable people in communities. We delivered services and support in communities on
an outreach basis with partners and the work with young people via weekly youth clubs

and tailored programmes. These challenges were also compounded by the ongoing
impact of the pandemic on the mental health of people, young and older.
Proactive initiatives. NDCN looks out for other opportunities to further tts work and
engage strategically for benefit of the people and groups it serves and support. For
instance, we conduct needs assessment to help identify needs and plan the most
appropriate response. we also continue to participate in a range of forums and
partnerships and facilitate the North Down Community Practitioners Forum to support
and co-ordinate volunteer lead community associations as they respond to needs in
their communities. NDCN participate in the Charity Commission Forum to represent the
needs of our member groups and partners. In addition, NDCN are members of the
Bangor Connects group, which includes representatives from local groups, businesses,
and organisations. We also continue to host the NDCN Community Matters podcast
which aims to explore important issues and needs in an informal and accessible way.
topics covered are in direct relation to need so have included the impact of cost of living,
housing shortages, political apathy in Nl and more.

operate. NDCN also has a small income via donations which are used to top-up and cover
unfunded costs.
NDCN has established the minimum the level of free 'special' reserves that the charity ought
to have. This is the level of unrestricted general funds which should normally be at least
enough to cover the cost of closure (which would include the next three months of the
estimated running costs for committed overheads plus that amount of money which would
cover staff redundancies). After being reviewed last year. the 2023-24 this resenie amount
was set at £26,000. This will be reviewed again in the coming year.
Goin
concern note. Due to the challenges of funding pressures within the Community and
Voluntary Sector, NDCN has made a deficit in the year. However, the organisation has
shown an improvement from the prior the year. They will be continuing these efforts to
achieve and maintsin financial sustainability.
Plans for future periods
NDCN'S future plans are to continue to deliver appropriate routine. reactive andlor proactive

work as efficiently as possible within the limits of the funding it manages to obtain.
