As Lorraine Campbell, our chairperson, wrote in the forward to our 2020-21 Annual report, this was ”a year like no other, one which challenged communities around the globe to support one another through the Covid crisis.”
In Northern Ireland, we saw the strength and agility of the community sector rise to meet the challenge head-on, and Supporting Communities was proud to play our part.
You'll see from this annual report that we have outperformed in many areas - not despite the pandemic - but by adapting to it quickly and persevering in the face of so much uncertainty.
Digital inclusion played a major role as we quickly adapted to providing all our services online while also supporting our groups to come with us. In fact, we all learned some new tricks that have been very beneficial to members and staff alike, which we think will be here to stay.
Thank you to our many members, partners, and especially our key stakeholders; the Housing Executive, Department of Finance, National Trust, and SEUPB, all of whom have been very accommodating this past year, ensuring the continued delivery of our vital support and services to the communities we serve.
