Structure, governance and management

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 12 February 1999 and registered as a charity on 3 March 1999.

The company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which defines the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. The charitable company is bound by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, which were last amended by special resolution at the Annual General Meeting on 3 December 2019. The trustees form the Board which is the decision-making body. Decisions are delegated to the Centre Director. Appointment and election of Board members are carried out following the rules of the Articles of Association. New trustees may be elected at the Annual General Meeting or co-opted during the year. There shall be no less than three trustees and there is no maximum number. One third of trustees shall retire each year at the Annual General Meeting and can be re-appointed.

The Board meets eight times a year, at approximately 6 weeks intervals to review the organisation's activities.

Detailed consideration of operation and policy may be carried out by sub-committees, which comprise a mix of Board members, co-optees and staff. The sub-committees submit recommendations to the full board of any decision made at their meetings.

The Centre Director has the overall responsibility for the Centre operations, service development and delivery, tenants, HR, fundraising and buildings' maintenance. The Finance & HR Manager is responsible for ensuring all Financial, HR and GDPR obligations are met. Both report directly to the committee at the Board meetings. The charity also employs two Centre Coordinators, who are responsible for room bookings, administration of some projects, day-to-day operations and line-managing evening and weekends Duty Managers.

St Werburghs Community Association also employs:

We hold principles of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) highly within the organisation, and our trustees provide an essential critical lens to interrogate the operations of the organisation to ensure these principles are upheld. Diversity is part of our DNA as we don't serve one and only target group and all our services are designed with inclusion and accessibility in mind. As a Membership organisation and a community business we pride ourselves in being one of the most inclusive organisations in Bristol; we continuously review our membership with the aim to increase engagement and support of our communities.

Objectives and activities

  1. to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Bristol City without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, nationality, race or of political, religious or other opinions, by associating together the said inhabitants and the statutory authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and good race relations by eliminating discrimination and encouraging equality of opportunity between persons of different groups, and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants;

  2. to establish, or secure the establishment of, a Community Centre and to maintain and manage the same (whether alone or in co-operation with any statutory authority or other person or body) in furtherance of the Objects;

The Charity shall be non-party in politics and non-sectarian in religion. The area of benefit shall be Bristol City and the neighbourhood together defined by Bristol City Council boundaries.

The trustees have had regard to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives and in planning its future activities.

The charity continues to meet its objectives by providing space and facilities to a wide range of individuals, community groups and voluntary organisations. St Werburghs Community Centre is a bustling, accessible community hub with a range of facilities and resources providing meeting spaces, community notice boards, and free public access computers.

The Centre caters for a wide range of activities suitable for all ages and abilities, including various fitness classes, courses, workshops, support groups, training and advice sessions. Cultural groups, weddings, markets, fundraising, parties, faith groups and celebrations keep the Centre busy at weekends.

There are five tenants who are working within the local communities, to include supporting carers and parents of children with disabilities, a foster care agency, mental health support practitioners and herbalists who support refugees and asylum seekers.

The charity has expanded and developed the use of the Centre in line with its vision and principles. The vision of St Werburghs Community Association is to improve the quality of life of residents living in Ashley, Easton, Lawrence Hill and communities of interest citywide. SWCA aims to enable them to achieve their economic, social and educational goals, and help form a strong, prosperous and caring local community.

The key principles of engagement, accessibility, inclusivity, equality of opportunity, diversity and affordability drive all of our activities. SWCA recognises the values of being community-led and community-focused; providing accessible facilities and activities and contributing to environmental sustainability.

St Werburghs Community Association uses a bespoke impact assessment tool-kit based on the New Economic Foundation's report Five Ways to Wellbeing. It enables us to develop an evidence-based impact assessment showing that we are achieving our core aims and that our presence and services are making a difference to the wellbeing of local people. It includes analysis of post code data to evidence that we are serving people living in the most deprived LSOAs

Strategic report

The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.

Achievements and performance

Year April 2022 to March 2023 was a year of business recovery, whilst facing reduced grant income, increased running costs and increased demand for our services. Following the Covid pandemic, staff training and team development continued throughout the year with remodelling of services and fundraising at the forefront of our daily tasks. The Crowdfunder campaign has also taken a lot of team effort as we successfully secured over £20,000 of donations and match funding which will come into our accounts in the 2023/2024 financial year. The year also saw a take-off of our new holiday clubs and hot-desking suite as a part of new income streams and provision for the community.

Our Tenants have supported the Centre and many individuals in our communities, these included: KHAAS, Amicus Foster Care, Herbalists without Borders, Karen Christie Counselling and Earth Talk Mary-Rose Clarke Counselling. For a part of that year City of London College rented an office but unfortunately, they didn't get the accreditation needed to fulfil their aims to deliver training from the Centre. Neck of the Woods Café have served us well during the year despite challenges posed for hospitality industry post pandemic and with cost-of-living crisis affecting local people more than ever.

Between April 2022 and March 2023, we provided space for 392 groups in comparison with 293 groups in the previous year, 70 during Covid and 333 groups the year prior to the Covid pandemic. This evidences a great progress in our business recovery, and indicates how busy we get as the administration demands on our team is much greater when there are more clients. Also, the increase in number of bookers doesn't align with the total income from our charitable activities, so we had to work harder for the same gain, meaning we had a lot more shorter bookings with a greater number of groups.

The demands for our core support services increased greatly over the year and it was a real challenge to continue the signposting reception provision at the level needed, staying safe, inclusive and welcoming at all times in light of poor mental health and evident lack of sufficient support in our communities. With limited government support grants, in comparison to the year prior, it was necessary to use our reserves to sustain service provision and a considerable amount was also spent on increased energy costs, salaries and maintenance bills. We continued with less funding despite our projections, so we are truly grateful to all who contributed to our Crowdfunder in March 2023.

During the financial year April 2022 - March 2023 the following services and events were being

Financial review

Reserves Policy

At the year-end unrestricted reserves were £177,560.

Of this sum the charity holds three months' worth of general running costs in their deposit account; this money is set aside as a safeguard against any future loss of core funding.

From 2013/14 the management committee agreed to set aside two designated funds. One for the provision of mandatory holiday pay and pension contribution costs which would be accrued during periods of statutory maternity leave, at current salary rates calculated to be a potential cost to the organisation of £18,709, and one for general annual building maintenance costs estimated at £19,125. The maternity costs figure has recently been reviewed and the general building maintenance costs will be reviewed in light of our return to more regular use of the building following closure due to Covid. During 2019/20 the committee agreed to set aside another designated fund for the provision of major building repairs, calculated as a potential cost to the organisation of £34,457, this too will be reviewed now the building is in more regular use.

Grants and Donations

During the year the charity continued to work hard to deliver and obtain funding for its core services and events:

  1. The Nisbet Trust contributed £15,000 towards Easy-PC and Digital Inclusion services delivered from the main Reception.

  2. This was matched by the newly launched The St Monica Trust's Digital Inclusion Fund with £13,162 to support communities with access to digital across our core service delivery.

  6. The Power to Change Resilient Communities Fund contributed £10,000 to offset salaries and increased fuel costs timely supporting us in navigating the immediate pressures of the cost of living and cost of energy crises.

Plans for future periods

In the current year we continued our work as Community Hub seeking long-term sustainability and security of services within our four priorities:

We increased our room hire rates by 12% as from 1st April 2023 and we plan to review the way we calculate our rates once again with a view to achieve more sustainable level of income long term.

We continued working in partnership with Bristol City Council's Community Exchange network, VCSE organisations from accross the city, St Werburghs Partners, our member groups, organisations across Ashley ward. The BCC's Community Resilience Fund enabled us to co-support 13 Ashley-based organisation in applications for capital grants to improve their buidings and services.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

15

St Werburghs Community Association

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Long leasehold property - 3% straight line Outside equipment - 25% reducing balance Computer equipment - 25% straight line Cafe equipment - 25% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or paable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

4. Limited by guarantee

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 12 February 1999 and registered as a charity on 3 March 1999.
