Novas Annual Report 2022

Annual Report 2022
In 2022, the total income generated by Arlington NOVAS Ireland CLG was
€13.892M (a decrease of 3.2% from 2021). Revenue based grants received by
our organisation from the HSE, Department of Housing, Planning and Local
Government and various local authorities amounted to €12.154M (down
2.35% from last year). This represented 87.4% of our total income. Our income
fell from 2021, mainly due to the consolidation of services in the East of the
country.
As in previous years, there was no increase in core funding during 2022 for
most of our existing services. Some funders provided retrospective once-off
funding of 3.5% in respect of the increased cost of living and while welcome,
it was not sufficient to meet the additional costs in areas such as energy and
food. Funding for some of these services remains lower than 2008 levels,
which continues to be a major issue, particularly with the recruitment and
retention of staff. We do not expect to see any improvement in this in the
immediate future.
Other income was €1.737M (a decrease of 8.8%). This other income consists
of contributions from our service users, development levies, return on
investments, donations, legacies and fundraising. There continued to be
some difficulties in respect of the collection of client contributions and
recommencing our normal fundraising events following the pandemic.
We remain extremely grateful to all our funders and donors, whose continued
support and generosity has enabled us to maintain the high standards of
services provision.
