Strategic Report

for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

The trustees present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025.

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT

Governance

Lewisham Irish Community Centre is governed by a board of trustees. We focus on the principles of good governance and work hard to regularly review and develop strategies for working effectively as a management committee.

Each new Trustee is offered an induction programme that emphasizes their personal and collective responsibility to the mission and objectives of the charity. Ever mindful that Trustees with appropriate business skills and knowledge of the voluntary sector are scarce, we continue to identify gaps in skills and competencies reviewing board training and recruiting new members.

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

INTRODUCTION

Lewisham Irish Community Centre (LICC) is a dynamic, outward looking organisation based in the London Borough of Lewisham in South London. We are a registered charity established in 1992.

Our base in Rushey Green is a vibrant hub for the local community and the Irish community in Lewisham, providing advice, support and advocacy for the Irish community and specialist advice and support for Gypsy Roma Traveller (GRT) communities. The centre provides weekly clubs and classes for children and families, young people and the older community.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and activities

The principal objective of the charity is to promote the benefit of the community, particularly but not exclusively to persons of Irish descent within the London Borough of Lewisham. This objective is achieved through association with local authorities, voluntary organisations and local population to:

- Advance education in Irish culture & heritage.

- To relieve sickness & deprivation.

- Provision of social and recreational activities for the wellbeing of the community.

Main Summary

The Trustees are pleased to report that Lewisham Irish Community Centre (LICC) has experienced a highly successful year. Over the past two years, the organisation has achieved significant financial growth, with turnover now exceeding £300,000. This strengthened financial position has enabled LICC to expand its capacity and deliver advice and support services to more than 400 individuals-representing an increase of almost 100% compared to the previous year.

On average, approximately 700 individuals access the Centre each week. Of these, around 400 participate in our structured programme of activities, which includes a playgroup, youth club, Pilates and Zumba classes for older persons, a men's group, Irish language classes, a digital hub, weekly lunches, a community café, and the Irish Elders Project.

Partnership working remains a cornerstone of our approach. During the year, LICC collaborated with a wide range of organisations, including Holbeach Primary School, St Christopher's Hospice, Lewisham Council, Lewisham Local, Community Connections, Lewisham Wellbeing Hub, the Irish Embassy, Irish in Britain, Southwark Irish Pensioners Group, Coláiste Na nGael, London Gypsies and Travellers, the Department of Work and Pensions, KWD Solicitors, and Change, Grow, Live (CGL). Looking ahead, and supported by NCIL funding for 2025-2027, LICC will work in partnership with Lewisham Local to deliver a joint initiative providing a dedicated adviser and wellbeing officer for individuals accessing the Food Hub and Community Connections drop-in service.

The Trustees wish to acknowledge that these achievements would not have been possible without the continued support of our funders and the commitment of our staff, volunteers, and fellow Trustees. Particular thanks are extended to our staff team Kathleen Sheridan, Francesca Cook, Frances McAuley, Doreen Loughney, Annette Galloway, Fiona Chambers, Tommy Lewellyn, and Vincenza Della Camera-and to our Board of Trustees for their guidance and oversight: Colum Mackey, Ruairi Cullen, Michael Mc Donnell, Martina O'Sullivan, Anne O'Rorke, Pauline Maton, and Karen Duggan. Finally, the Trustees express their sincere gratitude to the wider community for its ongoing engagement and support throughout the year.

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Advice & Support Services

The advice and support service provides comprehensive information, guidance, and advocacy on welfare benefits, housing, and disability issues to members of the Irish community and the Gypsy Roma Traveller (GRT) communities.

During the reporting period, 401 individuals accessed the service, of whom 264 were residents of Lewisham. Approximately 70% of all clients were of Irish descent, and 75% were aged 55 or over.

The team delivered 1,381 advice sessions over the twelve-month period, comprising 108 home visits and 1,273 office-based appointments. Of these, 143 individuals required assistance with disability and age-related welfare matters, including applications, reviews, and appeals for Personal Independence Payment, migration to Universal Credit, and Attendance Allowance. A further 117 individuals sought support with housing issues, such as rent arrears, debt management, rehousing, tenancy disputes, and access to sheltered accommodation.

Additional areas of support included utility debt resolution, grants for essential household items, first-time means-tested benefit applications (including Pension Credit), transport schemes, safeguarding concerns, addiction and recovery support, and referrals to mental health services, counselling, and specialist legal advice. Positive outcomes achieved through the service included income maximisation via successful benefit claims, improved housing security, and enhanced financial stability through payment plans and debt management.

The service also provided vital emotional and practical support to clients experiencing mental health challenges, long-term health conditions, bereavement, and social isolation, ensuring a client-centred approach throughout. Furthermore, demand for assistance with Irish passport applications-particularly first-time applications-remained high, reflecting the increasing difficulty individuals face in accessing approved services.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

SOCIAL INVESTMENTS

Irish Elders Project

The Irish Elders Project continues to provide a vital social and cultural space for older members of the Irish community. Sessions are held twice weekly, with Wednesdays dedicated to a card school for older Irish men and Fridays featuring music, dance, singing, and gentle exercise. Attendance averages 51 participants per week, rising to approximately 90 for special occasions such as Christmas and St Patrick's Day. Notable highlights during the year included a day trip to Brighton, a festive Christmas lunch, and celebrations for St Brigid's Day and St Patrick's Day.

In addition to the Irish Elders Project, LICC offers an expanding programme of activities for older people throughout the week. These include the Monday Warm Welcome community café, chair-based Pilates, chair-based Zumba, and Zumba Gold classes. These sessions remain highly popular, attracting an average of 105 participants weekly.

Playgroup

Our playgroup provides informal "stay and play" sessions for families with toddlers, fostering early development and social interaction. Coordinated by Karen Duggan, the group runs every Friday morning and remains a valued resource for local families. During the reporting period, more than 33 families accessed the service. With support from Merchant Taylor funding, recruitment is underway for a dedicated playgroup coordinator to enhance delivery and strengthen volunteer engagement.

Youth Club

The youth club operates on Wednesday evenings during term time for children aged 8-16 years. Over the year, 31 sessions were delivered, with attendance ranging from 16 to 26 young people. Activities include arts and crafts, quizzes, reading, and a variety of sports such as five-a-side football, air hockey, table tennis, pool, box hockey, and badminton. Members also enjoy access to gaming consoles and opportunities to explore music through dance, singing, and piano. These activities promote confidence, social skills, IT proficiency, and life skills, while encouraging interaction in a multicultural environment. The project continues to benefit from support by the Jack Petchey Foundation, which recognises and rewards young people for their achievements and contributions.

Digital Access Hub

LICC delivered weekly digital skills classes and drop-in support sessions to help individuals build confidence in using technology. Attendance ranged from 8 to 12 participants per session. Classes were tailored to individual needs and led by an experienced tutor.

Bia Food Delivery Project

Originally established during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bia Project has now operated for 218 consecutive weeks. In the past year, 677 meals were delivered to 17 individuals, supported by a dedicated team of volunteers. Plans for 2025/26 include expanding the project to incorporate home visits for those who are isolated or housebound, with volunteers matched to service users following a detailed assessment.

Partnerships

LICC continues to strengthen collaborative working. We support FoodCycle in providing weekly community meals, which attract a diverse range of attendees, including Irish Elders and local residents. Joint events for Christmas and St Patrick's Day were well attended, with over 60 participants. Following a successful application by Lewisham Local, LICC will provide an Adviser/Wellbeing Officer to assist guests with long-term support needs. Additionally, every Thursday, the Centre hosts Lewisham Community Connections and other local organisations to deliver walk-in advice and support services, which remain consistently well attended.

Social and Cultural Events

During the year, LICC delivered ten major events, including cultural workshops, volunteer recognition ceremonies, health and wellbeing initiatives, and seasonal celebrations. Highlights included:

- A cultural workshop for Holbeach Primary School, attended by 77 pupils and teachers.

- Our Volunteer Awards celebration, attended by 70 community members.

- A health and wellbeing event offering blood pressure checks, vaccinations, and health advice, supported by

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

Lewisham Irish Community Centre (LICC) receives funding from four principal sources:The National Lottery, City Bridge Trust, Lewisham Council, and the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs.

Each of these funders supports our welfare and advice services. The National Lottery's Reaching Communities programme funds our welfare projects and full weekly programme of activities. Both City Bridge Trust and Lewisham Council have committed to five-year awards running until 2027, while Reaching Communities is a three-year award covering 2024-2027. The Irish Government's Emigrant Support Programme is providing three years funding from July 2025 to June 2028

In addition, we have secured three-year funding from Merchant Taylor for the Playgroup and continue to receive annual support from the Ireland Fund of Great Britain for specific one-off projects.

Income generation

For the year ended 31 March 2025, total income amounted to £357,345 (2024 £320,132) , with total expenditure of £288,211 (2024 £282,022). Restricted income for the period was 277,216 (2024 £264,372), set against restricted expenditure of £22,425 (2024 £251,082). This produced a restricted net income of £51,791 for the year (2024 £13,290) resulting in restricted reserves of £128,918 (2024 £77,147) at year end.

Unrestricted income, derived from class fees, events, and hall hire to local community groups and charities totalled £80,129 (2024 £55,760), with unrestricted expenditure of £62,786 (2024) £30,269. This produced an unrestricted net income of £17,343 (2024 £24,821). The unrestricted reserves at 31 March 2025 stand at £47,612 (2024 £30,269).

Income Generation.

LICC continues to generate income through the hire of hall facilities to local community groups and charities, as well as private bookings. While weekday bookings from partner organisations remain steady, private hire continues to present challenges due to noise restrictions associated with the building's proximity to residential properties. However this year we have seen an increase in overall hall hire income to £40,593 (2024 £26,588).

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

LICC operates a reserves policy that aims to cover cash flow shortfalls due to uncertainty in the timing of future grant awards. Reserves are monitored regularly by the board of Trustees which remains confident current levels of reserves are proportionate to the organisation's needs.

The Trustees regard £40,000 as a prudent sum to cover running costs for three months.

Total reserves currently stand at £176,550 (2024 £107,415).

Restricted funds currently stand at £128,938 (2024 £77,147 )

Unrestricted funds currently stand at £47,612 (2024 £30,268), however £1,679 (£2024 £2,326) is required to cover future depreciation of fixed assets.

FUTURE STRATEGIC DIRECTION

Lewisham Irish Community Centre (LICC) is currently developing a five-year strategic plan for the period 2025-2030. This plan reaffirms our commitment to supporting the welfare of the diverse Irish community, preserving Irish heritage, strengthening collaboration with local services, and advancing organisational development.

The strategy will focus on five key areas:

Welfare of the Irish Community

We will maintain our core commitment to the welfare of the Irish community, with an enhanced focus on tailored care for older Irish residents, support for unpaid carers, and therapeutic services addressing mental health and wellbeing, alongside our existing housing and welfare benefits provision

Celebrating the Diversity of the Irish community

LICC will continue to champion inclusivity and openness, ensuring that services reflect the diversity of the Irish community. This includes ongoing support for underrepresented groups such as Irish Travellers, LGBTQI+ individuals, and others who have historically been marginalised.

Collaboration

Building on our strong record of partnership, we will sustain and deepen relationships with key funders and community organisations while seeking new opportunities to broaden our services and activities.

Focus on preserving our Heritage

We will expand our cultural programme to celebrate Irish traditions and heritage across the borough, strengthen the promotion of the Irish language, and highlight stories of emigration-particularly those of older Irish residents and their contributions to London.

Organisational Development

LICC will continue to modernise and professionalise its operations, setting high standards for governance, service delivery, and organisational resilience.

Post year end developments

Since the end of the financial year, LICC has significantly strengthened its financial position by securing three year funding of £389,304 from the Emigrant Support Programme for 2025/26, 2026/27 and 2027/28. This enhanced funding enables the charity to expand its welfare services across Bromley and Croydon and includes investment in a new Community Engagement Officer role, which will support further organisational growth and diversification.

LICC has also secured continued funding from Reaching Communities, City Bridge, and the PIPHC contract through to 2027, as well as renewed ESP and Merchant Taylor funding through to 2028.

Additional new income streams include two year NCIL funding for an extra adviser (£27,214 across 2025-2027) and £66,519 from Lewisham Council's main grants programme for 2026-2029. Both grants are delivered in partnership with Lewisham Local and Age UK, who act as lead partners.

The charity remains actively engaged with Lewisham Council and is in the final stages of agreeing a 25 year lease on its building, a development that will provide long term stability and security.

LICC is therefore in a strong and confident position as it prepares to implement its four year strategic plan for 2026-2030.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

The Lewisham Irish Community Centre (LICC) is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a company limited by guarantee (as defined by the Companies Act 2006, Company no: 2752450 England & Wales) and with the Charities Commission (Registration no: 1014852).

Recruitment and appointment of the Management Committee

Voting takes place at the AGM. Candidates for nomination must be a paid up member of LICC; in agreement with the Charities aims and objectives; willing to take up post if elected; not disqualified from being a Charity Trustee and not disqualified from being a Company Director. When recruiting people on to the management committee, members look for a balance of business skills, voluntary sector experience and knowledge of the needs of the local community required to run the charity effectively.

Structure and management

LICC is controlled by a Management Committee of up to 12 Trustees (who are also the directors of the company) for a period of one year. Each Trustee is also a paid up member of LICC. The responsibility of the day to day running of LICC and staff and volunteer management, is entrusted to the CEO who reports to the Management Committee.

Management Committee induction and training

Trustees are welcomed on to the Committee and introduced to other members and staff. They receive an induction pack, which includes a Trustee Declaration form, role description and an invitation to visit the various activities going on in the Centre. New Trustees are asked to complete a skills analysis questionnaire so that training needs can be identified and addressed.

Risk management

As Trustees we are aware of our responsibilities under The Charities SORP (FRS102) to undertake regular risk management reviews. A review has been completed this year and the main tasks have been identified and mitigation strategies are in place.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
