REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
Background to the Organisation and its constitution
The Bacup Consortium Isicl was constituted by it5 members in June 2000 as an
unincorporated association with the aims of undertaking community projects within Bacup

place in which to live, work and play.
It became incorporated as The Bacup Consortium Trust IBcfi - a private company limited by

Memorandum and Articles of Association and registered as a charity Inumber 11075321 on
10 January 2005 with the same aims and objectives as the original Bacup Consortium.
The Bacup Consortium (unincorporated association) was dissolved by its members at an
annual general meeting held on 20 April 2005 and all its assets transferred to The Bacup
Consortt'um Trust Ilimited company). In 2011 the aims were changed to promote social
inclusion for the public beneh't by preventin8 people from Rossendale, and its environs,
from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially
excluded and assisting them to integrate into society. In November 2014 the founders of the

more in line with the original aims of the or8anisatiOn.

As we met last year we were just on the way out of our most challenging year
however, the message had been pretty clear throughout". close the doors, do
what you can on line and on the phone but close the doors. With immense
work from staff and a handful of volunteers we maintained and enhanced the
site, kept plants alive and even grew our stock.
This year the messages have not been quite so clear- open the doors a little bit,
close the door and open a window, peep round the corner of a building while
holding the door closed but ready to open it; open the door if you have a plan.

The Bacup Consortium Trust (a company limited by guarantee and

Directors, Report and Accounts for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
As a charity we created a plan and stuck to it. We safely reopened our doors
and have maintained that safety for our Stubby family throughout. The site has
ontinued to evolve and develop and amazing advances have been made in a
year which makes that last look uncomplicated. Business has grown
exponentially in some areas but covid and it's constraints have hit some areas
of our actual and projected income hard. Once again we meet adversity with
creativity and hard work. l am incredibly proud of our staff and volunteers who
have rallied round the site and each other as our participant, volunteer and
student base has continued to grow. Throughout the last year the need for the
everything we do has grown in a near unquantiliable way and in the coming
year we will have to continue to evolve to meet the needs of our Stubby family
and the wider society. We are once again entering uncertain times, in 2020 we
had no practiced resource to deal with situation we faced, no armament,
nothing. We are now entering 2022 with something - rehearsed, armed and
with resource, we achieved the impossible with nothing, and I have no doubt
that we can achieve the miraculous something.
