Durin8 the year ending 31 March 2025, the Rock Centre has continued to provide a broad ran8e of daily service5 and activities designed to support the health and wellbeing of the local community. These activities include help and assistance from local volunteers. With over 30 years of service, the Centre remains committed to addressing the needs of all residents, with particular attention to older adults and disabled individuals, This year, we saw a continued increase in attendance, reflecting the growing demand for accessible, community-led support. Our Centre is overseen by trustees who have continued to meet regula rly to address community Issues that have arisen. The Centre remains a valued hub for numeroLlS organisations that regularly use our facilities. These include.. TheNHS Bristol City Council for community drop.in and training sessions Amateur Dramatic Theatre groups Social worker5 for one-to-one meetings Bristol Autism Project and Avon Autistic Foundation Karate a nd private dance classes Specialised fitness classe5 The Lawrence Weston Out of School Activities group remains a consistent and valued tenant. with exclusive use of an office space within the centre. Their presence contributes to the daily life of the centre and provides vital support to local families. Lawrence Weston Community Transport also operates from the Centre, offering accessible travel to and from the site. This service plays a crucial role in reducing isolation and ensuring that even the most vulnerable members of our community can engage with the activities and services on offer.

CF.N'I'IITr; I,'J I) TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE I'EAR ENDED 31 NI.4RCH 2025 lain aclii'ities aiid chIe1'en1entS- conlinued The trustees extend heartfelt thanks to the many organisations that have supported the Centre through funding, partnership, and shared services. These include.. The National Lottery Nisbets Community Fund NHS Bristol City Council Merchant Venturers Society Avonmouth Community Ward Task Force Neighbourhood Partnership The John James Foundation • Giving Locally Wessex Water Feeding Bristol Lawrence Weston Out of School Activities Lawrence Weston Community Transport In a significant development this year, the Centre secured a three-year funding grant from the National Lottery, available for use starting january 2024. However, the trustee5 have 5trateBically chosen to delay drawing from this grant until April 2025, allowing for careful planning and maximising the long-term impact of the funding. The ongoin8 Cost of living crisis continues to affect our community, with Sharp rises in the prices of food, ener8y, and essential goods. In response, the Centre maintained its role as a warm, welcoming, and safe space where residents could find comfort, support, and companionship. We sustained our partnership with a local supermarket chain to provide free, accessible food, and conlinued io host free community lunch clubs and seasonal shows, including community pantomimes. These events have provided not only practical support but also joy, connection, and a sense of community during difficult times. Despite increased running costs, the Centre made a deliberate decision not to raise hire rates for room bookings or activities. The trustees strongly believe that affordability must remain central to our mission, ensuring the Centre stays accessible to all. Our relationship with St. Peter's Church, our landlord, remains positive and collaborative. Thanks to a £50,000 grant from the Bristol City Community Resilience Fund, secured in 2023, we were able to carry out significant repai rs and refurbishments throughout the 2024-25 financial year. These improvements have greatly enhanced the appeal, comfort. and functionality of the Centre, supporting our ongoing efforts to serve the community with pride.
