“To say that the past year has been a difficult one would be a huge understatement; the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the world has had significant impact upon the health and financial sectors in addition to the overall economy of almost all countries and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.” said President Janet Cullen in her report.
She continued, “Despite this, I am greatly encouraged to be able to report that Inala Community House has not only survived but has expanded its services and shown a profit for the year.
Over this period, we have also seen a significant change in funding models, community needs and in the regulatory environment. These changes have had a substantial effect on the organisation which required flexible responses to adapt to these external shifts.
The hard work over the past years has resulted in a more sustainable organisation which has a strong financial position with diverse revenue streams.”
