Chairmans Report 2024
Overall, SLNRA continues to provide much needed service to those living in the South Lough Neagh rural areas and continues to engage with the community on a weekly basis; we continue to work in partnership with other charitable organisations, groups and community representatives and are part of the NI wide Healthy Living Centre Alliance and hold Healthy living Centre status. We also continue to have strong links with the Communities Dept. of ABC Council from whom we receive our core funding. Continued budget issues in Council, has meant that all organisation in the community/voluntary sector have had their core funding reduced.
All well being programmes listed below were face to face to support to the people living in rural SLNRA area. Heritage 4 Health Programme continued in 2024 with an additional 10 week programme highlighting workshops to help participants maintain physical, mental and emotional health for example, Chinese medicine cooking demonstration, traditional crafts, Chi Qong, traditional dancing and an end celebration. This group bonded so well and feedback was continued connections, so, we now have a successful established rural Weekly walk group.
We also worked in partnership with Bryson Group electricity Jan- end March 2024 assisting rural people from low incomes claim their eligible payment as well as promoting this. Our Schools Programme continued in 2024 involving Art therapy in 5 rural primary schools for 6 weeks in each school focusing on supporting children’s mental and emotional well being. Our TAK£500 support from ABC Council in 2024 enabled us to run A Chill Out Relax Project for teens and families which was well received and feedback proving this would be very welcome again in the future. This was in partnership with Maghery, Derrytrasna, Derrymacash and Aghagallon youthclubs.
Towards the end of 2024, we successfully benefited from Healthy Living Alliance funds for a Garden visit and historical tour of Newcastle which combated isolation, created new connections and much needed social outlet.
General Management
On the general management and governance requirements we continue to meet our statutory duties in relation to the business. The Board continues to meet regularly, where a considerable time and effort is spent managing the issues that have challenged us over the past few years. These have been well documented and as such are a hindrance to the organisation’s development. In the coming year we will continue to focus on our core delivery as already described. It is a key objective going forward to rejuvenate and refocus our business so that we become less reliant on traditional sources of income.

Company law requires the trustees as the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year.

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the relevant financial reporting framework, identify those standards, and note the effect and the reasons for any material departure from those standards; and
