Achievements and Performance
We are pleased to present our annual report for 2022/23, highlighting Heart of BS13's key achievements and progress during the year. We have emerged from the challenges of the Covid pandemic, during which time we supported our community through the crisis, whilst at the same time fully integrating our three programmes to deliver a core offer that addresses the dual threats of climate change and severe household hardship. Our three programmes address food insecurity, vocationa! and skills training and climate action and ali three have been developed through coproduction with our community and deliver targeted projects that have significant impact on the issues that matter most to people who live in BS13.
Climate Action Hub: ; In the summer of 2022, we re-opened the Bourchier Gardens site, renamed the Heart of BS13 Climate Action Hub. This space is an essential part of our commitment to provide a climate education and events space for the whole community. The site encompasses an outdoor amphitheatre, wild green spaces, an open sided activities barn, compost toilets and a roundhouse building. The climate hub is the perfect location to host and deliver creative events, performances, and workshops, adding to Heart of BS13’s income stream and creating a more sustainable and environmentaily responsibie future.
Three-Year Climate Action Programme:
In May 2022, following the development of the community climate plan with voices from over 1100 BS13 residents, Heart of BS13 was funded by the National Lottery to embark on a three-year climate action program. Our work focuses on reducing carbon emissions caused by ineffective waste disposal in the community and the creation of strategic partnerships to attract green economic development to BS13.
We have launched the BS13 household food waste-recycling initiative, which aims to reduce the amount of organic waste entering tandfills. Through education, outreach, and providing necessary infrastructure, we will be encouraging hundreds of households to compost and recycle their food waste. This initiative is a significant
[4]
step towards our sustainability goals, aligns with our existing enterprises and aims to decrease the amount of household waste that ends up in landfill.
We are engaging the young people of BS13 in a climate and environmental action leadership programme that will initially focus on collaborating with local supermarkets to reduce the dumping of supermarket shopping trolleys in BS13 streets and green spaces.
We are developing strategic partnerships and attracting investment to take a longterm approach that links climate science to opportunities, ensuring that as green economic sectors emerge, investment in education, skills and training are as available to the BS13 community as they are to the rest of the city.
The Pollinator Habitat Trail:
Funded by the West of England Combined Authority, we have begun planting a new 1.8-mile pollinator trail connecting our Climate Hub to Hartcliffe City Farm. We plan to work with up to 600 BS13 residents to transform previously litter-strewn sites into a green corridor planted with low-maintenance, beautiful perennial plants which will attract insects, wildlife, and provide community members a place to walk in nature, and a car-free way to get from the Climate Hub to Hartcliffe City Farm.
Heart of BS13 Flowers at the Farm:
The summer of 2022 saw the first season of "Heart of BS13 Sustainable Flowers" at Hartcliffe City farm. This enterprise enables the community to participate in horticulture and environmental stewardship, focusing on the importance of ecosystem through hands-on activities such as planting pollinator-attracting plants and creating wildlife habitats and wetlands as well as developing vocational skills and supporting a growing socia! enterprise.
Slow Cooker Club:
In 22/23, forty households (just over 200 people) participated in our Slow Cooker Club, a ‘whole family project designed to promote healthy eating and reduce food waste. This initiative has not only improved the nutrition of our community members but has also contributed to reducing food waste and associated environmental impacts,
Community freezer:
Heart of BS13’s community freezer supports people who run out of food because they run out of money. We fundraise and sell meals from a pay-it-forward range we have created to sustain the community freezer work. Using fresh, high-quality produce that is both bought and donated to make free, delicious, nutritious meals that are frozen and then placed in our community freezer, we offer the option to struggling households fo jain the community freezer for up to 12 weeks, three times a year. This year we have supported 421 people, (149 households) 329 children and 197 adults. 8,609 meals have been given out, alongside cash vouchers to support families with energy bills over the winter.
BS1i3 At Risk Youth Holiday Projects - Year 2:
We successfully completed a scaled-up version of the BS13 Youth Holiday Projects, designed to provide positive and engaging activities for young people in our community. This program offers mentorship, skill-building, and recreational opportunities to foster personal growth and development and to ensure that children
[S]
in the BS13 community can have free and delicious and nutritionally high value meals during their school holidays.
Heart of BS13 continues to make substantial progress in our mission to create a sustainable and vibrant community working towards improved health outcomes for all residents. We would like to extend our gratitude to our supporters, partners, and community members who have been instrumental in achieving these milestones. We look forward to another year of growth and positive change.
Financial Review
The Charity's financial situation has remained stable during the year. Income exceeded expenditure on restricted funds, due to increased funding for ionger term projects continuing into 2023-24. There was a small surplus of £1,099 on Unrestricted Funds (2022 £4,061). With adequate reserves and budgeted expenditure kept within the available funds, the trustees consider that the charity is a going concern.
Principal Funding Sources
During the year, the charity received grants totalling £428,663 (2022 £423,055); these included £35,049 from Bristol City Council (2022 £79,681), £206,463 from Big Lottery (2022 £145,152), £27,618 from the Climate Action Fund (2022 £30,794), £10,000 from the John James Foundation (2022 £17,500), £5,400 from Quartet (2022 £37,200), £30,544 from Enovert (2022 £69,456), £11,811 from WECA (2022 nil), £10,000 from BrisDoc (2022 nil), £20,000 from Bristol Community Health (2022 nif} £26,000 from Feeding Bristol {2022 nil), and £37,400 from Community Ownership Fund (2022 nil).
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (“the free reserves”) held by the organisation should be between 3 and 6 months of the resources expended on core activities, which equates to £50,000 to £100,000 in unrestricted funds. At this level, the trustees feel that it would be able to continue the current activities of the organisation in the event of significant drop in funding. It would obviously be necessary to consider how the funding would be replaced or activities changed accordingly.
At the balance sheet date free reserves amounted to £81,740 (2022 £80,641). This figure is below the target level; however two designated reserve funds have been set up: one is a General Reserve fund (£15,000 at the balance sheet date [2022 £15,000]), and the other is a Redundancy Fund (£23,721 at the balance sheet date [2022 £26,000]) which is sufficient to meet statutory redundancy and staff notice payments. .
