Society of St. Vincent de Paul (Ireland) National Management Council Report For the year ended 31 December 2010
The National Management Council presents its annual report and the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010. The legal and administrative information is set out on page 1 and 2. The financial statements comply with the current requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (2005), with the exception of Government Capital Grants and Capital Assistance Schemes, which are dealt with in accordance with SSAP 4 and Pensions, which are accounted for in accordance with the provisions set out under FRS 17 (Employee Benefits). In the Republic of Ireland, charities are governed by the Charities Acts 2009, 1961 and 1973. In Northern Ireland charities are governed by the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008, Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 1964 and the Charities (Northern Ireland) Order 1987. Section 27 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) Order 1964 requires the trustees of a charity to keep proper accounts and to preserve them for at least seven years. Background The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is an International Christian organisation of lay people, formed in Paris in 1833, by Frederic Ozanam and his companions. Placed under the patronage of St. Vincent de Paul, it is inspired by his thinking and works. It seeks, in the spirit of justice and charity, to help those who are suffering poverty in any form. It does this mainly through the person to person involvement of its members. Objects of the charity The relief of poverty, both material and emotional, in Ireland and abroad, without differentiation on the grounds of race, colour, creed, ideology or gender. Achieving the Society’s objectives Support and Friendship: Through person to person contact, we are committed to respecting the dignity of those we assist and thus to foster their self-respect. In the provision of material and other support, we assure confidentiality at all times and endeavour to establish relationships based on trust and friendship. Promoting Self-Sufficiency: We believe it is not enough to provide short-term material support. Those we serve must also be helped to achieve self-sufficiency in the long term and the sense of selfworth this provides. When the problems we encounter are beyond our competence, we build bridges of support with others more specialised. Working for Social Justice: We are committed to identifying the root causes of poverty and social injustice in Ireland and in solidarity with the poor and disadvantaged to advocate and work for the changes required to create a more just and caring society.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul (Ireland) National Management Council Report For the year ended 31 December 2010
Organisational Structure Individual members join a local group or “Conference”. In Ireland there are 1214 (2009: 1,201) Conferences which are grouped into 113 (2009: 113) Area Councils. The Areas, in turn, are grouped into 13 Regional Councils. Each Conference, Area Council and Regional Council has an elected president who appoints the Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary. The Presidents of the Regional and Area Councils and the National Management Council form the National Council. The National Council elects a National President, who in turn forms the National Management Council consisting of the National President, National Vice Presidents, National Treasurer and the thirteen Regional Presidents. The National President is elected for a term of three years, which may be extended to five years. The National Council is supported by the National Management Council. The National President of Ireland is a member of the International Council General which coordinates the Society in over 145 countries. Management and decision making The National Management Council manages the affairs of the Society and reports to the National Council. All major funding and strategy decisions proposed by the National Management Council must be ratified by National Council before these become Society policy. The National Management Council normally meets monthly. The National Council meets twice per year. The National Management Council is assisted in the discharge of its duties by a number of Committees, including the National Finance and Audit Committees, whose membership comprises volunteers. On the 6th November 2010, the National Council ratified changes to the Society’s constitution to facilitate compliance with charities legislation. The Society employs a National Director whose role is to oversee the national operations and administration of the Society and who reports directly to the National President. The National Director is accountable to the National Management Council and the National Council. Related parties and connected organisations The nature of the Society’s work means that it has connections to a number of organisations. None of these relationships confers any ability to exercise any control over the activities of the Society. Voluntary Members The National Management Council recognises and appreciates the commitment of the Society’s 9,950 members and 1,400 auxiliary members throughout the country. It is not possible to place a monetary value on this voluntary effort but it is essential to enable the Society to achieve its core objective of relieving poverty.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul (Ireland) National Management Council Report For the year ended 31 December 2010
National President’s Review 2010 was a very challenging and demanding year for the Society. With the ongoing downturn in the economy we expected an increase in the number of people coming to us for assistance, a continuation of a trend that had begun in 2009. There was an increase in the demand for our services, which in some parts of the country, was up by as much as 30%. The kinds of issues we were asked to help with were basic: food, fuel, education and housing. The people who approached us were those most vulnerable, lone parents, foreign nationals, older people and families with young children. We also noticed an increasing trend in referrals from other agencies, including state agencies, through HSE social workers and community welfare officers. To respond to these demands we advanced a number of new initiatives, including setting up a national committee to support Conferences to deal with significant debt issues and launched a set of guidance notes on dealing with mortgage arrears. We also launched an education guide and held a seminar for members engaged in education work. We are aware that in these constrained economic times, Government is making policy choices which will impact on the vulnerable people in the communities in which we work. In these circumstances our social justice work becomes even more important and two principles guide our work in this area. Firstly, people who can afford to should contribute more to economic and social recovery. Secondly, vulnerable people must not pay the price of this recovery. During 2010 we continued to develop new services and launched a variety of new works. The Society's greatest asset is its members, employees and auxiliary members, without whom we simply could not provide our wide range of services. Their commitment, hard work, energy and imagination are what enable us to respond to the growing and complex needs of those who turn to us for assistance. The work of the Society would not be possible without the continued support of its Donors. We are very fortunate to receive support from a wide variety of sources, including; individuals, companies and statutory bodies. Throughout 2010 they continued to support us and this support is greatly appreciated. In particular I would like to acknowledge the continued support of the Department of Community, Equality and Gaelteacht Affairs.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul (Ireland) National Management Council Report For the year ended 31 December 2010
National President’s Review Christmas is traditionally the busiest time for the Society and in 2010 we faced the additional challenge of the extensive frost and snow which continued well into the new year and put significant pressures on households. 2010 was a challenging and demanding year for those who sought our assistance and for the Society's members and employees. I am delighted to say that we rose to the challenge and am confident that as Ireland begins its long and slow journey towards social and economic recovery, the Society will continue to make its contribution to responding to and promoting the interests of the most vulnerable in our Society.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul (Ireland) National Management Council Report For the year ended 31 December 2010
Financial Review The results for the year reflect net outgoing resources, of €1.2 million (2009 – €4.1 million net incoming resources). Incoming resources amounted to €73.3 million, representing a decrease of €0.6 million compared to the previous year. Resources expended, at €74.3 million, represented an increase of €7.7 million compared to 2009. The increase relates primarily to the increase in assistance to individuals and families which increased by €7 million. The principal balance sheet movements for the year were a net decrease of €2.2 million in fixed assets, a decrease of €0.4million in current assets and a decrease of €1.4million in current and longer term liabilities. The consolidated cash flow statement principally reflects net cash outflow from operating activities, of €0.5 million, a decrease in net cash of €0.6 million and net expenditure on fixed assets of €2.2 million.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul (Ireland) National Management Council Report For the year ended 31 December 2010
Reserves policy The Society’s total reserves (represented by restricted, designated and unrestricted funds) are an amalgamation of assets employed in Special Works owned directly by the Society and assets (principally tangible fixed assets and cash) held nationally and at Conference level. The overall policy of the Society is to maintain liquid resources to facilitate the funding of the Society’s work in the service of the poor, on whose behalf the funds are held. This policy is driven by the need to provide for future expenditure on a planned basis and at the same time be in a position to respond to urgent deserving causes at short notice. Reserves held at Conference level are for direct relief of poverty in local areas and for that reason mainly consist of liquid funds. Local Conferences and Councils are encouraged to share surplus unrestricted funds with other Conferences within the Society, to facilitate needs within the wider community. Where appropriate, funds are designated for use within the Society, for particular purposes and the related expenditure may be made over a number of accounting periods. This principal also applies to certain funds which have been restricted in their use under the terms of their donation. Investment policy and performance The majority of the Society’s funds are held in the form of liquid assets. Some investments are held in trust or for specific longer term projects. In summary, Society policy is to maintain sufficient funds to cover one year’s average conference expenditure subject to requirements in respect of proposed capital expenditure and having regard to any restrictions in respect of the use of particular funds, in accordance with the wishes of the relevant donors of the funds. Risk statement A risk assessment exercise considering financial, strategic, reputational, compliance and operational risk was undertaken by the National Board (currently replaced by the National Management Council) in 2005 and systems have been established to mitigate the major risks to which the Society is exposed. An internal audit function has been put in place together with appropriate policies and procedures covering key areas such as finance, vulnerable adult and child protection and human resources. The Society’s risk strategy and related policy and procedures are currently under review and will be updated in the light of legislative and other relevant factors. Statement of responsibilities of the National Management Council The National Management Council prepares financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Society and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure of the Society for the year. In preparing those financial statements the National Management Council is required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
8
Society of St. Vincent de Paul (Ireland) National Management Council Report For the year ended 31 December 2010
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Society will continue in operation.
The National Management Council is responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable certainty the financial position of the Society and which enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with relevant legislation. The National Management Council is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Society and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The National Management Council The trustees/ members of the National Management Council who served during the year and up to the date of this report are as follows: Mairead Bushnell Paul McKevitt John Monaghan Geoffrey Meagher Mary Sheridan Cormac Wilson Michael O’Keeffe Patrick Kielty Kevin McBrien Rose McGowan Michael Murphy Eamon Corbett Michael O’Connor John O’Sullivan Brendan Dempsey Kieran Stafford Ciaran Sherry Sandra Brett Tom MacSweeney Fr.
