Community in Partnership Knowle West Report of the trustees For the ear ended 31 March 2025 Overview Preparations for the Levelling Up funded refurbishment of the Centre continued through the year. aiming for a shutdown at the end of December 2024. Regular Users and Licensees were kept informed of progress and made their own decisions whether to stay to the last minute or to leave earlier. A few smaller users were offered the chance to slay in the CharItS alternative office accommodation, and we helped other users who had difficulty finding a place to go. Oelays in completing contracts for the works meant that the final shutdown came in April and building operations only started in May 2025. Achievements and performance Actlvlty and users Long standing community groups continued to attract regular customers, including the Friendship Group, Vet clinic, Boxing group, Karale. Church meetings, and many other groups needing a room for shorter periods. The number of regular users (mainly attending weekly groups) dropped over the year as we approached shutdown, sp the average over the year reduced from 800 in the previous year to 630 in the year 2024125. The number of people attending one-off events at meetings, parties etc. dropped from a totsl of 13,400 in the previous year to 10,200 in the year 2024125. Projects & Events Filwood Fantastic continued its programme of arts & cultural events & workshops supported by the Bristol Impact & Imagination Funds and the Esmee Fairbaim Foundation, with many events on every month. April saw the slart of the Sharing Stories project in partnership with Bristol Museums & Libraries and ACTA, which Vnt on through the year in many different settings. Summer brought lots of circus workshops and perfomiances in partnership with Circomedia and Circus Skills. In September we were abla to start monthly roller discos in response to the popularity of the trial events last year. Winter saw the Lightsl Lightsl Lightsl Creative Workshops producing giant billboards to display in the city, and the start of weekly dance classes with Everybody Dance Now. Big events during the year included Ihe Spring Fair. Knowle West Fest, and the Winter Fair, offering live performances, market stalls, activity workshops, and free food. Transport was provided for trips to the Diaspora Festival, Bristol Museum etc. Photography, printing, flag making, and other craft activities were run in collaboration with cultural organisalions such as Diverse Artists Network, and partner organisations such as Knowle West Media Centre. The Springboard personal development programme developed through the year and moved into Filwood Library in order to maintain this important service to local residents during the closure of the Centre.
Community in Partnership Knowle West Report of the trustees For the ear ended 31 March 2025 Because of generous grant funding all these events were free of charge - apart from roller disco and yoga which offers low cost, accessible, pay-what-you-can prices, with free tickets available for those who can't afford to pay at all. Partnerships Established working partnerships continued through the year with Knowle West Alliance, Knowle West Media CeDtre, Bristol City Council. as well as other local groups. Good cooperation belween the Charity and the Council has led to a smooth start to the refurt)ishment project. The Centre Director continues to contribute to city wide organisations dealing with the Arts. Tenants and Ilcensees The shop tenants who bring business and useful services into Filwood Broadway have continued unchanged this year and have participated in Ihe Council's. plans for developing the high street. Our licensee tenants in the Centre chose different times to leave,. some are planning to return when the Centre re-opens, and others may not. We were able to accommodale the Square Food Foundation in our temporary space but'the demonslration building belonging to Agile Homes had to move to a new location as tho space was required for the refurbishment. Trustees & Governanco An AGM was held in November 2024 to receive the annual report. The resignation of the chair of trustees was accepted with grateful thanks for her hard work in carrying the refurbishment project all the way through to the selection of a contractor. One new trustee was elected. The appointment of board officials was renewed after the AGM. Refurbishment programme Seven contractors tendered for the project in September and Planning Approval was granted in October 2024. Negotialions to meet the required budget took until February 2025, and the chosen contractor needed time to plan the works which eventually started in May 2025. The charty was represented by the chair of trustees during the development of the design and the selection of a contractor. Bristol Council held regular communication events for local people and we were very pleased that they were able appoint a local company, Bray & Slaughter, as the main contractor. Staff and volunteers One of the n8W Staff resigned after completing the extra consultalion and liaison work required for the redevelopment project. but the rest of the staff have adjusted to the change in venue and job requirements. Less volunteers were required. during the year but the payback teams continued to do a great job of keeping the Centre grounds tidy. Thanks The trustees viish to thank the staff and volunteers for their hard work through the year, especially as they coped with the stresses and uncertainties of the move.
Community in Partnership Knowle West Report of the trustees For the ear ended 31 March 2025 Our thanks go too to our architects, Hayhurst & Co., and to the Council's project manager, Matt Brown, for getting the refurbishment under way. We are also extremely graleful for the financial support of our grant funders, including the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation and Bristol City Council through the Bristol Impact Fund and the Levelling Up Fund support grant. Financlal revlew The charty made a deficit for the year of £96,367 compared to a surplus of £173,399 in the prior year. There was an unrestricted deficit of £36,602 and a restricted deficit of £59.765 after transfers. This headline figure fails to give a correct impression of the financial srtuation because several furjders provided grants for the year 2024125 before the end of March 2024, as noted in last yeaS report. As a result note 18 shows that restricted revenue funds totalling £128,211 were brought forward from the previous year (2023124). These funds were more than sufficient to cover the deficit in 2024125. The charity had net a$set$ of £386,001 at 31 March 2025, of which £106,311 were held in unrestricted reserves. The main funders were Bristol City Council and Esmée Fairbairn. who provided £77,938 and £60,000 of grants, respectively. The charity also receives rental income from properties on Fitwood Broadway and letting out the community centre. Reserves The free reserves of the charitable company (total unrestricted funds less unrestricled funds held as fixed assets} at 31 March 2025 are £51,373. The trustees. reserves policy is to hold in free reserves beeen three and six months of core expenditure. Based on 2024125 expenditure, this would give a free reserves target of be88n £85k and £170k. As noted above, there were a number of grants received in the prior year that related to 2024125, and so the trustees are satisfied with the level of reserves held. Plans for 2025126 Alternative office accommodation was found in a suite of unoccupied shops directly opposite the Centre. This will not only accommodate the staff but also enable smaller user groups to use meeling room. We will also use this space to try out potential new activities including a pain relief clinic and a pop up cafe. Storage space for the Centre's furniture and equipment has been offered by the local church in their social club building. Reception. cleaning. and maintenance staff have been.kepl busy in the huge task of moving the Centre's equipment, and will be needed in running the temporary accommodation and also in maintaining a third building housing our largest licensee user. Project staff will continue the Filwood Fantastic programme together with other arts and cullural events using other venues including the local library.
Community in Partnership Knowle West Report of the trustees For the ear ende'd 31 March 2025 Bristol Council have provided a support grant to protect employment while the Centre's income is much depleted. Preparalions for moving back into Fi00d Community Centre will intensify as this year goes on. The anticipated date for r&opening is July 2026.
