Locklcazc Ncighbourhood Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust Supporting our community in Lockleaze to create positive change CHAIR'S REPORT The Year at Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust We are delighted to present Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust's Annual Report for 2024-2025. Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust is the Communrty Hub for Lockleaze in North Brislol, and we exist to make Lockleaze fair, healthy and sustainable for all. led by the people who live here. Lockleaze is the fourth most diverse ward in Bristol with a strong communty who are proud of where we live, with the most green space of any ward in Bristol. Built as a garden council housing estate in the 1950s, Lockleaze is also one of the more deprived wards in the cty. with challenges around hardship, health and housing. This year saw us facing more challenges in the shape of rocketing housing development across the ward, increased housing pri￿s, and the continuing Cost of Living Crisis- as well as increasing global instability. Despite this. our community has continued to support each other and stand together for fairness and togetherness. In May 2024 we said goodbye to Suzanne Wilson, our longtime CEO. Suzanne has been a pivotal person in the growth of Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust, someone who cares deeply about our community in Lockleaze and who worked hard lo support residents across the ward. Under her leadership we created Our Lockleaze our community plan in 2018, started building Community-Led Housing in Lockleaze in response to that plan, and started many of the projects we support today, our Lockleaze Community Climate Action Plan and our successful Really Wild Lockleaze rewilding project. Suzanne also worked hard to support our beloved community centre The Cameron Centre, and it was with great sadness that we had to hand the site over lo Brislol Cty Council in Autumn 2024 in order to see much needed new council housing built in Lockleaze, with new homes arriving in 2027. alongside a brand new community building that Lockleaze residents will name and shape. As Melissa Blackbum joined LNT in September as CEO. we took over St James Church on Romney Avenue as a meanwhile space while the 'new Cameron Centre, is built, as well as refurbishing our Hub to make it the busy, welcoming and inclusive Spa￿ that it is today. Since then. we've brought our community together for a series of Communty Feasts, including our first Community-Led Iftar in March 2025, and have begun work on our new Community Plan to ensure that everything LNT d￿S is led by our community's priorities.

Locklcazc Ncighbourhood Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust Supporting our community in Lockleaze to create positive change Stewarding Buildings for Our Community As a community-led organisation, we are responsible for managing a range of buildings that serve as hubs for local engagement, support, and connection. In 2024-25, our stewardship focused on three key community spaces.. the Cameron Centre. The Hub, and Old St James. The Cameron Centre has always been a much-loved space at the heart of the community-a place where people came together for activities, support. and friendship. This year, the building was taken down to make way for a new community centre. While we're looking ahead to what the new space will offer, the loss of the old building has been strongly felt. It meant a lot to so many people. and its absence has left a real gap. We're doing everything we can to keep that same sense of connection alive during this transition and to make sure the new space reflecls the spirit and warmth of what came before. The Hub on Gainsborough Square serves as the heart of our operations, our primary community centre. It provides a welcoming space where residents can access support, participate in activities, and connect with one another. It remains ￿ntral to how we reach our communty and a vital daily point of contact. Old St James is a former church building on Romney Avenue in Lockleaze that we recently brought into use as a temporary community space. The building has its own unique character and an important place in local memory (it just got the first Blue Plaque in Lockleaze) and it has allowed us to keep people connected and supported during a time of change. Looking ahead, we're excited to welcome the new Cameron Centre as well as other community spaces across Lockleaze, led as ever by our community.

Locklcazc Ncighbourhood Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust Supporting our community in Lockleaze to create positive change 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 or another new building recognising a second building is a key source of income for LNT. This would be £95,000. At the year-end the charty's free reserves were £13,177 (2024: 146,485). This is calculated as total reserves, less restricted funds and those funds committed to fixed assets (see note 15). The Trustees noted with concern that this was below LNT'S Reserves Policy and are currently taking action to rectfy this situation. This will involve a new Reserves Strategy based on unrestricted income discipline and increased trading income. as well as clearer systems and a Reserves Policy as part of our Finance Policy that better reflects our aims and objectives as well as risks and weaknesses. We recognise it will take time ie several years to bring this into line wrth SORP levels.
