Trustees Report
As you may be aware, the Rest House visitor centre on Bournville Green has been managed by the
charity the Friend5 of Bournville Carillon (FOBC) for 28 years.
The Friends of Bournville Carillon are all volunteers, who give theirtime and energy for free to
manage the Rest House for the benefit of the community.
Over time, the operational and financial demands of running the charity have increased, and we
have seen three active Trustees step down.
As a result, we have concluded that regrettably the charity, in its present form, is not sustainable.
And we will be dissolving it in line with provisions of our constitution.
This means the management of the Rest House will be handed back to Bournville Village Trust IBIThI.
BW are a valued partner and we have worked successfully with them for many years. They share a
joint commitment to making sure the Rest House continues to benefit the community.
The Rest House will remain temporarily closed whilst the charity is dissolved, and the handover
process takes place. The Bournville Carillon itself will continue to be maintained and played.
We want to give our heartFelt thanks to all those who have given their time and commitment to the
Friends of Bournville Carillon over the years.
We also want to thank everyone who has visited the Rest House and supported this wonderful
building at the heart of Bournville Green.
Whilst we know the news may be disappointing, we are confident the Rest House will continue to
benefit the community under Bw's stewardship.
Trevor Workman, Chair and Trustee of Friends of Bournville Carillon and Bournville Carillonneur, said:
"I would like to add my thanks to the manyvolunteers who have given theirtime tirelessly and
supported at the Rest House in its capacity of Carillon Visitors Centre, something that my late wife
Joy and I were active and passionate in founding some 30 years ago.
"But now is the time for change and l am excited and delighted that we will be moving into a closer
association with BVTas they lookto support the Carillon as such an important part of Bournville
heritage, with the rest house continuing to be a vital and vibrant community hub into the future.
"Current members of the FOBC will still be welcome to donate and contribute either in offering their
time ortheirfinancial support and details of how this will be possible will be made known by BVT in
due course"
Arthur Tsang, Director of Communities at BW, said: "BVT has worked closely with the Friends of
Bournville Carillon and its dedicated volunteers for many years. We would like to thank all the
volunteers and the Trustees of the charity for their commitment and dedication to the community
over manyyears.
"The Rest House visitor centre has been a valued part of the Bournville community for over 28 years.
We are committed to securing the best future for it for the benefit of the community."
