19-20 ANNUAL REPORT FINAL

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT I don’t think anyone could have predicted the ups and downs of the 2019-20 financial year. The disruption and uncertainty caused by COVID-19

I can say with confidence that we are in a stable and sustainable financial position and have invested in building a strong organisational culture that places the people we support at the centre of everything we do. On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend my thanks and gratitude to our CEO, Virginia Walker, our leadership team, and our amazing frontline workforce for their hard work in a particularly challenging year. Your dedication to the people we support is authentic and inspiring. I would also thank my fellow directors for contributing their time and expertise to the governance of Momentum Collective and for also making a difference to the lives of people in our local communities.

in 2020 has been life-changing for everyone. Despite the chaos and upheaval brought on by the pandemic, our dedicated teams continued to deliver essential services to the many thousands of people across the region who rely on our programs and support each year. I am certain that the efforts of the CEO and leadership team in steering Momentum Collective through a period of transition and change over the last two years, helped position us to respond quickly and innovatively to the challenges presented by the pandemic. Last financial year we celebrated a year of consolidation with a focus on strengthening our reputation and building strong relationships and partnerships in the communities we serve. I am pleased to report that this year has been one of growth and expansion of our services and programs.
