## **Objects and Activities**
The principal activities of the charity are to secure the establishment of a community building to provide facilities for recreation, leisure, education and training with the object of relief of poverty and improving the conditions of life for persons living in Lockleaze Ward.
We articulate this vision as _Supporting residents to achieve positive change for themselves and their community_ . Our mission is to help the community by empowering people to **help themselves** not doing things _to_ them or _for_ them, in this way individuals are more resilient, the community defines its own success and change is long-lasting. Our work is driven by our values:
- welcome and kindness
- residents lead the change
- keeping the community connected
- creating a fairer Lockleaze
The following is a summary of our activities in relation to the objectives.

LNT hosts a variety of well-attended weekly groups, catering to residents from both Lockleaze and neighbouring areas. These groups offer activities such as short mat bowls, art for well-being, gentle exercise, and specialised exercise for adults with additional needs. Some participants have attended these groups for years, while newcomers inject fresh energy into each gathering. Beyond our regular programs, external organisations, including Aikido, Taekwondo, Little Kickers, Polish Girl Scouts and ACTA community theatre, contribute to our diverse offerings.
Our community hub provides a versatile space that caters to a diverse range of needs, from hosting birthday parties to celebrating faith festivals. Our facility welcomes everyone. Various multi faith groups are included in our regular hires. We believe in fostering connections, celebrating traditions, and creating memorable experiences for our local community.

Also includes supporting residents to access 1-1 support from Richmond Fellowship and activities provided by Changes Bristol.
## **Impact on residents?**
By promoting and co-hosting more training for colleagues, partners and volunteers we have been able to increase support and opportunities for residents. Strengthened relationships through partnership working also bring more resources, advice and information to residents and local partners.
We were co facilitators delivering Walk Leader training for 16 colleagues and volunteers, which increased the delivery of Wellbeing walks delivered across the North of Bristol for residents, for free. We secured additional funds to pay for guest artists and creatives to deliver a monthly session to our Art for Wellbeing group -the completed pieces will be part of a Bristol Beacon exhibition showcasing the positive impact of Arts, Culture and Creativity on Mental Health and Wellbeing.
We are also planning a new Peace of Mind course, a return to monthly wellbeing walks and are in the process of planning to refresh our wellbeing passport.

**Grant:** Warm & welcome spaces then Quartet managed by BCC
## **What is it?**
From a temporary take away point during the pandemic, to a thriving warm and welcome space during winter, The Hubbub has evolved into a well-attended weekly cafe shaped by residents. It is a much-valued venue - a place to meet friends and make them, an affordable social space and somewhere residents feel safe, welcomed and valued. Somewhere they can come for advice, a chat, an affordable cuppa and to see a friendly face.
## **Impact on residents**
We have seen really excellent relationships form at The Hubbub, where people have started coming along, made friends and become regulars. They can find out what's on locally and are encouraged and supported to discover what else they might like to attend. We support a local business who provides the catering and prices are kept affordable addressing financial barriers to attendance. People really look forward to this weekly event and say that it has greatly improved their social lives, wellbeing and helped combat isolation. Residents who work from home attend and use the space to work as do visiting colleagues. We have also observed an increase in support workers choosing the Hubbub to meet clients and our regular attendees include residents from a nearby assisted living complex, retirement and sheltered housing as well as residents from care homes. Residents have prioritised what support and advice would be most beneficial and that has helped us develop a rotation of advice drop ins from partner organisations covering health, housing, safety and more. Our 2 long term volunteers successfully completed their food hygiene training and we were able to accommodate a work placement student studying Environmental health.

increasing our network and strengthening our partnerships whilst promoting LNT and Lockleaze. This has helped us support and connect more partners through signposting and inviting new partners to join local networks. We are recognised as an anchor organisation able to offer peer support, guidance and signposting. In addition, this funding allows LNT to be proactive in approaching other organisations to bring their offer to Lockleaze:
- increasing opportunities for residents to have their say - Muller Road Bus Lane,
- get involved and shape the future of their community through consultations-Dovercourt development consultation,
- public art co design sessions-WECA Mobility Transport Hub,
- shaping the future workshops - Drones and Future Technologies
- and contributing to city wide exhibitions - Bristol Beacon exhibition and Time capsule project.

## **Buzz Community Garden**
## **No. of participants:** 63 **No of volunteers:** 3

## **What is it?**
Funding to provide staffed sessions twice weekly to support residents to connect, learn and share skills through growing, gardening and nature based and outdoor craft activities.
## **Impact on residents**
These informal and friendly twice weekly sessions have given residents an opportunity to meet new people and learn new things in a quiet relaxed outdoor setting. It is a welcoming space for all ages where knowledge, skills, and a variety of talents are shared and all levels of engagement and contribution appreciated.
Residents plan, plant and create for the garden and ensure the space is wildlife welcoming too - its home to at least 2 foxes, hedgehogs, slow worms, and countless birds, bugs and butterflies. Compost is being created, no pesticides are used, and the garden is planted for pollinators, the bird boxes were made by residents as were the benches and mini ponds. 3 well attended workshops have been held there, and community partners and groups have been invited to get involved through supported sessions.
## **Lockleaze Local Lettings Policy and Housing Support**
## **No. of people engaged:** over 300 **No of volunteers:** 10
## **What is it?**
The Lockleaze Lettings Policy (LLP) is a community-driven policy that sits within the existing system for allocating social and affordable rental properties. Its aim is to create a fairer housing system by

**LOCKLEAZE NEIGHBOURHOOD TRUST**
## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
allowing people with a defined local connection to Lockleaze the ability to have their housing needs addressed within their community.
Understanding that housing need is not confined solely to social rented tenure, we have also partnered with local housing advice charity, Housing Matters, to facilitate 2-hour drop-ins at the Hub. This initiative started with 8 drop-in sessions at the end of 2022. Due to their high demand, additional funding was secured and six months of fortnightly drop-ins ran Nov 2023 - April 2024. More than 50 households attended the sessions, providing residents with in-person expert housing advice that responds directly to their circumstances.
## **Impact on residents**
This policy, now adopted by Bristol City Council, ensures that 50% of all new homes built for social rent will first be prioritised to those on Home Choice (the Council’s platform for advertising available properties), bidding for homes, who meet the Lockleaze Local Lettings Policy criteria. Where developments are a community-led scheme, there will be 100% allocation of homes according to the criteria in the first instance.
Lockleaze has a number of residential developments proposed within its Ward boundary. LLP has created a once in a generation opportunity to address many more acute housing needs for existing members of the community. However, as these developments are at various stages of planning and delivery, it will be a number of years until the full extent of the opportunity will be realised.
In August 2023, the first of these major developments, ‘Shackleton Heights’, was completed by Housing Association, Abri Homes. The results of implementing the LLP during the allocation process are as follows:
- 9 of the 16 properties let so far have gone to local people - including 1-bedroom apartments and a 2-bed bungalow.
- There were 888 bids on the 2-bedroom house with the local person in the 160th position being successful. Abri’s allocations team said: _“I’ve never seen a shortlist in Bristol with that many bids or for a shortlist to get that far down”_
- The 14 one-bedroom flats ranged in bids from 154 – 341 depending on the property. The ground floor flats received the most bids.
- For the flats let via the LLP the highest position on the shortlist was 23 with the lowest being 70. Again, the Housing Association stated how rare it is for it to get this low down on Bristol allocations, demonstrating its efficacy in practice.
The above statistics indicate the level of impact this policy, driven throughout by LNT, has had on the lives of Lockleaze residents. We will continue to work with BCC and Registered Providers in the area to ensure the LLP is utilised to its full potential when homes for social and affordable rent are being allocated.
## **Community Led Housing**
**No of volunteers:** 5 plus in-kind support from various organisations **Grant or income:** Grant-funded (Power to Change, Homes England, Bristol City Council)
## **What is it?**

## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
residents. Our capital funding bids to Bristol City Council for a combined c. £1.9 million across both projects were successful. We have now set up a CIC Vehicle to manage the delivery of the construction, to mitigate financial risk to the Trust. We’ve also agreed the heads of terms for a 999year lease contract, the signing of which will mark the first milestone for releasing a proportion of the grant. This has been an unexpectedly protracted process that has put a strain on the financial viability of the project. We are now undertaking an updated viability assessment and reviewing other delivery models, including partnership with a Housing Association with local relevance to give the best chance of realising the schemes.
The charity set up a subsidiary community interest company, Lockleaze Loves Homes, and holds the only share, with a nominal value of £1. The company has not traded, and it is intended that the CIC is wound up in the coming year.
## **Impact on residents**
Houses and developments that are the result of meaningful community engagement throughout the design process, will provide homes that reflect stakeholders’ needs, priorities and aspirations. Through developing housing policy with residents and the Council, in tandem to each of these projects, we have ensured that 100% of the homes will be allocated to members of the Lockleaze community and they will all be affordable. This will ensure that people can move into homes that are more suitable according to their needs whilst simultaneously remaining within their community and support networks.
## **Community Climate Action and Really Wild Lockleaze**
**No of volunteers:** Residents have volunteered to help us with habitat creation 169 times, and 71 times doing other things, like creating videos. **Grant or income:** Grant funded as part of the Lottery’s Climate Action Fund
## **What is it?**
Following on from our community climate action plan, we are running this demonstrator project exploring what urban communities can do to help halt the decline in nature. This is a three-year project from August 2022. The Really Wild Lockleaze Project is supporting residents to make more space for nature, both in their gardens and on their greens and verges. This year we have:
- Worked on 9 different greens, verges, and public green spaces, running 5 planning events, and 20 habitat creation events, where we planted 934 trees, created 1450 m2 of wildflower meadow, and 4 mini-ponds.
- Supported residents to create their own nature friendly wild gardens running 20 learning workshops with 177 attendances, giving away 250 native trees to 50 residents, and helping to create 1 pond.
- Helped create a community network for nature, with 2 Lockleaze Nature Network events with 43 attendances, and 48 residents signed up to the Lockleaze Wild Mile. 318 residents have signed up to our mailing list to learn what is happening around nature locally.
- Got the word out about the project, with 9 media appearances, 203 doors knocked with 47 conversations, and leaflets through 3,904 doors.
- Working with the council to get permission for residents to create nature habitat on their greens and verges and map this process to create a blueprint for other communities to use.
- Working with a resident volunteer filmmaker to document what we are doing and make 3 how-to videos to share with other residents.

## **Impact on residents**
The project is helping residents know how to help nature and feel more confident to get on and do it. One resident said ““I’m getting fairly good at tree planting and knowing how to manage a garden and encourage biodiversity.” It is also helping to build community, with a resident saying “It has made me feel more involved and like Lockleaze is my home. It has helped me grow roots and makes me want to stay.” We are halfway through this exciting project and have been reviewing our work so far within the team and with residents and making plans for going forward.

We created a short promo film about the Hubbub Cafe with local residents which was shared on LNT website and social media.
We continued to run Peace of Mind sessions which were led by a volunteer Mindful practitioner including follow up sessions - which residents said was “really beneficial”. We created a Video about Peace of Mind sessions - what they aim for and what happens during them - to share on social media.

The Gardening Group run in conjunction with the Vench worked on improving various community gardening projects in the area. We continue to host a small and friendly Lockleaze Guardians peer led support group, for parents and carers of children with additional needs.

Total income for the year was £251,296 (2023: £208,039), with expenditure £250,250 (2023: £225,425).
The charity held £245,699 (2023: £238,660) in cash held at the bank at the year-end.
The charity aims to hold free reserves of the equivalent of 3 months expenditure, plus a £10,000 emergency repair fund and £10,000 for the future of the Cameron Centre recognising this building is a key source of income and under threat of development. This would be £82,448. At the yearend the charity’s free reserves were £146,485. This is calculated as total reserves, less restricted funds and those funds committed to fixed assets (see note 15). The Trustees are currently considering both the policy for holding reserves and how best to bring free reserves at the yearend in-line with the policy through our activities.
## **Funds held as a custodian on behalf of others**
The custodian assets are all held within the bank account of the charity and are readily available. The names of the charities or projects on whose behalf the assets are held are in note 18 to the accounts. The activity of these charities or projects are in line with the objects of Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust.
Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust bookkeeps each custodian fund separately in its books and records. The details of the transactions in the year and balances held at the year-end are in note 18 to the accounts.

## **TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
The trustees (who are also directors of Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report (incorporating the strategic report and directors’ report) and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards 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 charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees declare they have approved the trustees' report (including directors' report) above.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LOCKLEAZE NEIGHBOURHOOD TRUST (‘THE COMPANY’)**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
Since the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**LOCKLEAZE NEIGHBOURHOOD TRUST**
**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
**YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention (except where otherwise stated in the accounting policy note) and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019, and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Companies Act 2006.
The charity is a public benefit entity as defined under FRS102. The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties affecting the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern.
## **Income**
Income from donations is included in income when these are receivable, except as follows:
I. When donors specify that donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods; II. When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until the pre-conditions have been met.
Legacies are included on a receivable basis where charity is entitled to the income, it can be measured reliably and receipt is probable. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is not included in income but is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Investment income is included on a receivable basis.
Donations in kind comprise donated services where the costs are measurable and the services would otherwise have to be paid for to maintain operational effectiveness.
## **Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.
## _**Charitable Activities**_
Grants awarded are allocated to charitable activities.
Grants awarded are treated as expenditure and a liability in the accounts as soon as they become legal or constructive obligations. In the case of multi-year grant awards, the funding for all years is immediately recognised unless there are conditions which need to be met by the recipient to enable the release of subsequent years’ funding.
## _**Governance costs**_
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the examiner's fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. Governance costs are included within charitable activity costs.

**LOCKLEAZE NEIGHBOURHOOD TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
**YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
## **1 Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_
## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
The charity contributes to defined contribution pension schemes. Contributions payable to the charity's pension schemes are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Fixed assets are held at cost less accumulated depreciation. Assets costing less than £500 are not capitalised. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated ultimate residual value, over the useful life of that asset as follows:
Fixtures & Fittings 10% reducing balance Equipment 10% reducing balance
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Designated funds form part of unrestricted funds and have been identified as being for particular purposes by the Trustees. They are not restricted and can be transferred to general funds at any time at the discretion of the Trustees.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in note 14 of the financial statements.
