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

A 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;

B 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 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 toolkit 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

Achievements and performance

The year April 2023 to March 2024 was a year of business recovery, with improvements in receipt of grant income, particularly from Bristol City Council in respect of our Community Hub work in Ashley ward and with people from communities of interest. It meant we were able to better manage the increased running costs and face the increased demands for our services with a strategic approach, analysing our income streams and remodelling our membership and fees structure so that we can respond to local needs whilst remaining on a steady course. Having secured a development grant from Places for People's Resilience Programme we were able to review our business model and commit resources to that of business planning, the changes were announced at the last AGM in January 2024 and implemented in June 2024, outside of this report period. Our Crowdfunder campaign secured over £20,000 in March 2023 which came into our accounts in the current financial year and boosted our much-depleted core funds. The new holiday clubs and hot-desking suite have continued throughout increasing provision of much needed services for the local community.

Our Tenants have supported the Centre and many individuals in our communities. These included: KHAAS, Amicus Foster Care, Herbalists without Borders, Dave Chang, Karen Christie Counselling and Earth Talk Mary-Rose Clarke Counselling. 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 2023 and March 2024, we provided space for 385 groups, which is similar to the 392 groups we hosted last financial year and still showing increase in demand, as our average pre-covid was 333. It is a steady and good situation to be in. Over 100 of those are local residents booking with us for private events, over 100 are regular Members: charities, voluntary groups and individuals who provide services for wider community, over 60 are charities and groups who have not joined as members and 30 are public sector agencies: NHS, Police, Partnerships, Education, City Council and AWP. The remaining 50 are SME and sole traders.

The demand for our core support services remained high and as always it is a challenge to provide high volume face to face signposting provision at Reception seven days a week. Our team work tirelessly to ensure the Centre feels safe, inclusive and welcoming at all times in light of those challenges and treat everyone with empathy and kindness. Having limited government support, it was necessary to focus on reducing our costs - seeking capital grants to increase energy efficiency of our assets and keep reserves at a healthy level by seeking external funds for necessary capital works, renewals and repairs. We continued our provision with less funding and once again we are truly grateful to all who contributed to our Crowdfunder in March 2023.

During the financial year April 2023 - March 2024 the following services and events were being delivered:

Financial review

Reserves Policy

At the year-end unrestricted reserves were £192,316.

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:

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 and remodelled our fee structure, introducing a 2-tier membership from 1st June 2024. Our focus on reducing our running costs and fundraising led us to apply to the National Lottery Community Fund Reaching Communities South West Grant as well as to the VCSE Energy Efficiency grant distributed via Groundworks.

We continued working in partnership with Bristol City Council's Community Exchange network, VCSE organisations from across the city, St Werburghs Partners, our member groups, and organisations across Ashley ward. The BCC's Community Resilience Fund enabled us to co-support 13 Ashley-based organisations and benefitted our relationship building and our vision to form an Ashley Alliance.

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.

Year ended 31 March 2024

3. Accounting policies (continued)

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.

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 payable 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.
