ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
New Lodge Duncairn Community Health Partnership is one of a growing Healthy Living Centre Alliance, currently with 29 members across the region. Healthy Living Centre's [hereafter referred to as HLCs] are tasked with translating high level government policies into accessible and practical community-based initiatives. HLCs’ work across four key health pillars:
-
¢ Emotional Health & Wellbeing
-
Sedentary Lifestyles
-
¢ Alcohol & Drug Misuse
-
¢ Smoking Cessation
The Public Health Agency [PHA] continues to commission core staff services therefore the Charity must conform to external social policy determinants on health promotion and prevention. The PHA has challenged HLCs' to focus their activities on key risk factors which can lead to the development of chronic conditions. HLCs’ address key health inequalities within their own localities, applying skills, experience and acquired knowledge to strengthen commonalities and promote best practice across the region. The approach to these and other areas of health improvement is based on achieving high standards in prevention, self-care, and health restoration within a context of social disadvantage.

NEW LODGE AND DUNCAIRN HEALTH PARTNERSHIP TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 S$.
As a rolling comparison with previous years, New Lodge Duncairn Community Health Partnership has seen:
-
Programme delivery levels have increased by 16% in 2024-5
-
Beneficiary numbers have experienced an increase of 15% over the last 12 months
»* 31% increase in attendance figures (retention levels) set against 2023-24- and significantly this exceeds by some measure (27%) pre-Covid 19 figures recorded for 2018-19These figures acknowledge a broader programme portfolio, and participant levels over a longer timeframe. The 7-year cumulative figures illustrate the impact and strength of community-based interventions provided by New Lodge Duncairn Community Health Partnership, with 2 full time and 2 part time staff members supported by a 6 strong sessional team. Of course, the level of service provided is not clinical in nature nor is it suggested that we compare it with like but, rather a more community led holistic approach which invests time and provides support to explore the underlying symptoms as well as presenting needs. In adhering to this community-based assets approach NLDCHP seeks to complement the clinical role of primary services, in the hope of providing the level of support necessary to meet and address need and prevent ongoing long term condition management.
On a positive sustainability note New Lodge Duncairn Community Health Partnership have been able to secure funding streams in direct relation to gaps identified in strategic planning processes:
-
PHA slippage funding for Older People's programming
-
- RTE Toy Show (CFNI) for children’s resiliency programmes in primary schools * Nourish the Nation Funding (CFNI) to address food poverty and the cost of living crisis ¢ Pain Support HLCA ¢ Belfast City Council! Summer Scheme
-
Participatory budgeting BHDU/BCC
-
° Awards for All
-
¢ LCAP Health Event ¢ Halifax Foundation for NI -salary costs of Family Support Worker beyond current contract which ends on 31.03.25
The work activity outlined above ably demonstrates that New Lodge Duncairn Community Health Partnership continues to uphold the ethos of a community health development organisation, and all service delivery is underpinned by community development principles and values. We are cognizant that community development practice occurs against a backdrop of continual change both positive and negative for individuals and communitiesso through programme delivery we try to ensure that we are responding to community articulated need. New Lodge Duncairn Community Health Partnership is clear that its body of work is firmly fixed in early interventions, preventative and health promotion initiatives- understanding clearly that building trust and positive relationships with service users best enables meaningful community empowerment. Often this essential work isn't articulated or measured yet is intrinsic to working practice.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The statement of financial activities (SOFA) and the balance sheet illustrate the financial position for the charitable company.
This year the results of the charity show a net increase in funds of £47,224 over the previous year, which is largely reflective of effective cost management and improved operational efficiency during the year.
During the period, the incoming resources of the charity decreased from £291,771 in 2024 to £252,615 in 2025, a decrease of 13%. Total resources expended decreased by 36% between 2024-2025, these percentages can partly be explained by decreasing funding streams and thereby expenditure.
Overall, the SOFA highlights that the results for the year have led to an increase in general funds to the charity of £41,727, so that they stood at £62,372 at the end of the year. Financial forecasting was implemented in 2020-21 to ensure that steady increases to the general fund reserves continue to be made despite the difficult economic climate that pertains.
RESERVES POLICY
New Lodge Duncairn Community Health Partnership has reviewed its previous Reserves Policy, whereby unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be between 13-26 weeks of budgeted expenditure. This generic reserves policy adopted no longer meets our needs as a small charity with fluctuating income streams, as our unrestricted funds are matched by a similar amount of restricted programme funding which significantly increased our expenditure. Since the Trustees Report 2023-24, the Board have reviewed the reserves policy with a view to having a situation more in keeping with the needs of a small charity. We seek to hold unrestricted reserves to cover the charity in the event of exceptional circumstances and to this end we will hold in reserve the amount needed to cover all our liabilities as follows:
- Salaries/redundancies. - Contracts. - Commitments.
Having completed this exercise, the Board have determined that their reserves policy should be set based on an estimate of between 13 — 26 weeks running costs for the previous period. This level of reserves are required to meet the working capital requirements of the charity, and the trustees are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. The Board will review this annually to determine that this remains appropriate.
On this basis, the required reserves to meet the policy between to hold £46,000 and £92,000 in general funds.
The current level of free reserves held by the charity is £61,571, within our acceptable level. The strategy is to continue to build reserves through planned operating surpluses.

RISK ASSESSMENT
The board has an established programme of risk management and mitigation which includes ownership of these risks by the Manager, providing assurances to the trustees that the major risks which have been identified have been reviewed and that systems and controls are in place to mitigate them. Risks are reviewed across board, operational and project activities at bi-monthly meetings. Identified risks are evaluated, including mitigating activity, and planned future action. These risks are prioritised and major risks to which the charity is exposed are determined and reported regularly to the trustees. In this way the trustees are satisfied that the risk management strategy is appropriate to the charity, and they have gained assurance regarding the effectiveness of the risk management processes adopted. The ongoing risk assessment measures will ensure that our responsibilities towards staff, funders and the service users are carried out to ensure the safety of all as far as possible. More recently the Trustees have appointed Peninsula Business Services for Human Resources for a year-long contract to offer support on legal issues and health & wellbeing support for staff members.
VOLUNTEERS
The community health partnership acknowledges with grateful thanks the support of volunteers who have contributed to the work of the charity. Most of the voluntary activity within NLDCHP is through membership of governance committees. The community health partnership is indebted to each volunteer for their support and remains committed to their continuous support and skills development. EMPLOYEES Upholding equality and diversity are key priorities for New Lodge Duncairn Community Health Partnership. Notwithstanding current high staff retention levels the organisation believes it is important to have an ethnically diverse workforce reflecting the communities it serves. New Lodge Duncairn Community Health Partnership promotes best practice in the recruitment and retention of staff. The New Lodge Duncairn Community Health Partnership continues to maintain its policy of being an equal opportunities employer and strives to give full and fair consideration to all applications of employment, training, and promotion irrespective of disability, race, gender, colour, age or sexual orientation.
EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT
Regular meetings with staff are held to provide employees with information on matters which may be of concern to them as employees, to consult with them so their voices are heard before making decisions that may affect their interests and to promote a common awareness on the part of all employees of the financial and economic factors affecting the performance of the charity.

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

NN<<a 2 Accounting policies (Continued)
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings: * Expenditure on charitable activities and activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs; Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
2.6 Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: Fixtures and fittings 25% Reducing Balance Equipment 25% Reducing Balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities. 2.7 Impairment of fixed assets At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). 2.8 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 2.9 Financial instruments The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 41 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle ona net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
