Priority needs/objectives of BHLC

Core Values

Significant Activities

Brunswick Hub is a multi-service venue which Brunswick Health Living Centre Limited (BHLC) manages and coordinates. Warwickshire NHS services reside in a third of the building. While the NHS manages its own services, the Hub Staff Team do have an overall coordinating role to play. Through partnership working, the Hub acts as a holistic venue offering services to the community addressing health and wellbeing issues.

In shaping the Charity’s objectives and planning its activities, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

BHLC is committed to identifying areas of need and developing services to address these needs.

Partnership development and collaborative working is fundamental to the way BHLC works within the community and aims to develop future services and activities.

Cost of Living: The HUB remains a leading source of support for the local community with its main activities focusing on: economic health; digital and employment; mental wellbeing; health and well-being; access to services and encouraging independent living; It has also been able to support through food provision and fuel poverty advice

Throughout the year we consistently register new customers to use a diverse range of services and activities in addition to last year's figure we now have more than 4,000 individuals registered to use our services.

Physical Activities for the community

Room Hire

BHLC provides affordable room hire to a variety of community and commercial groups throughout the week: many varied activities that support health and wellbeing and employment in its widest sense are run from the premises.

From April 24 we have seen an overall increase of footfall for both our internal and external services, all operating to full capacity.

We have also had venue hire bookings for other physical activity sessions as well as counselling sessions and employment services.

5

BRUNSWICK HEALTHY LIVING CENTRE LIMITED TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (incl. Directors’ Report) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2025

Room hire rates have continued to be kept to an affordable minimum for community use. For statutory and commercial users, the rate is graduated upwards but still affordable.

Community Computer Facilities-digital inclusion

The total number of computers available for community use is 15 This was reduced from 30 to take into consideration social distancing and privacy when completing Universal Credit claims. This still makes Brunswick Hub one of the best equipped community facilities in Warwick District. Clients have access to the Employment Clubs and digital support as well as access to 3 public computers that can be used daily for any purpose. During 2024/25 we also had a digital contract through the UKSPF to deliver digital services to those who may not have access at home and need help to do day to day digital tasks such as pay bills etc online.

Volunteer Programme

We have a volunteer programme offering opportunities to work in and around the hub on different projects or in rolls such as Reception/Admin, Foodbank, and triple link. Recruitment is through advertising, networking and word of mouth. Volunteers are encouraged to visit the Hub to see what is on offer and to experience a one-to-one taster session before committing to becoming a full volunteer. Volunteers have an essential role in the smooth running of the Hub; it relies heavily on their input for the day-to-day running across all services and activities delivered. Volunteers are valued and supported whilst learning new skills and gaining valuable experience. We work in Partnership with WCAVA and use an on-line system to match potential volunteers to opportunities within the HUB The Volunteer Programme continues to provide an invaluable social value to the community as well as to the individual volunteers. In this period we had new volunteers sign up especially to help with our food provision as well as being able to offer 3 young individual’s work experience through their schools.

Gardening

Physical activity can take many forms and BHLC is committed to finding ways to get people active and increase the amount of activity and participation. The gardening projects are ideal ways of increasing activity & social isolation the 'Secret Garden' is a well-used facility in the summer months encouraging gardening skills and social interaction. The Garden has also been enhanced with local companies donating goods and funding being secured. We have several volunteers overseeing the garden including representatives from The Princes Trust. It has been visited by many different groups throughout the Year.

Employment Clubs

The current funding for the Employment Services of BHLC comes from a Warwick District Council SLA. These employment services assist clients to increase their employability through offering support with CV writing, interview skills, job searching, free access to computers and assistance with universal credit accounts.

Our dedicated Employment Facebook page has continued to grow with followers.

A partnership was created with Warwickshire County Council Adult Learning Team enabling us to offer Functional Skills English & Maths, as well as several different computer courses.

Health & Wellbeing Activities

Chilled Foodbank Project

After setting up this scheme in the pandemic it became apparent that the ‘Emergency Chilled Goods for Families’ was a service that needed to continue and is now one of our leading projects and in this financial year we have managed to secure extra funding to cover the cost of food and a dedicated project worker to oversee the coordination. Chilled goods bags offer families and individuals Approximately £20 worth of goods including bread, milk, cheese, eggs, frozen and chilled meats – Dietary requirements were also catered for where needed) through this scheme we have been able to identify any additional help they may need and referred them to either our own health & wellbeing or employment officers and in some cases to other

external partnering agencies. We also work in partnership with the Sydni centre to provide a large bag of fruit & Veg for just £5.

Another initiative that the Project offer started is FREE FOOD THURSDAY & FRIDAY , by linking in with local supermarkets and food providers surplus stock is collected from stores or delivered directly to the HUB which is a put out in the mornings and the local community can come and collect what they need.

NHS

The NHS use a third of our building to deliver several different clinics throughout the week, these include Podiatry, Health visiting services, speech and language, orthoptist, and dietitians. We also have some services like the Diabetic eye screening that hire a room 3 times a week. These services are well attended and bring an extra footfall to the HUB.

Digital Inclusion

This is another Service that complements our Employment Services and offers access to I.T. skills for the local community. The decision was made to incorporate these services within the employment support offer and we have been able to run several courses throughout this year enhancing participants computer skills.

Functional skills English Functional skills Maths Digital Gateway to Work Essential Digital Skills Entry level Essential Digital Skills Level 1 Microsoft Word Microsoft Publisher Microsoft Excel Census Support Centre ESF Energise return to Work Course

Dementia Café / Triple Link

The Project provides a stimulating weekly programme of activities whilst being a source of support and information for carers. 15 different activities were provided on a rota basis, including physical activity, music, guest speakers, craft and a carers' support group. There have also been some external trips organised including visits to Stratford, British Motor Museum, National Memorial Arboretum and the local Panto at Christmas. We have 5 volunteers who currently support delivery of the Project.

ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) Support

We have new families registered helping with things such as Early Help meetings and general advice. In doing this we work alongside many different agencies including Schools, nurseries, health visitors, safeline, family support, social workers, adult provision and many more. We have set up online meetings and a Facebook page (closed for parents) for families interacting with each other for support.

Bereavement Support

This service has become a vital part of our support to the local community, we have 121 face-to-face and telephone support as well as some group sessions. Individuals have benefitted from this and 2 successful groups continue to run, one of which is a long-term support group.

Menopause Support

The menopause group was set up in February 23 to give ladies going through the menopause the opportunity to share experiences and gain knowledge and support to help them have a more positive experience. The group has enabled members to find a voice when approaching the medical professionals to

be given the correct support and HRT if it was felt appropriate. We have had outside speakers come in to provide information about the menopause and other services and support available.

Crown Routes

Is a small community Café in the Lillington area of the district, As well as providing very low cost 2 course meals 3 days, The Café has also delivered events such as Afternoon Tea for the Kings Coronation and a very successful Christmas Lunch which was attended by 56 people from the local community.

We are also tasked with taking some of our support services across from the HUB which cover Health & Wellbeing & Employment. We have a ‘drop-in’ 2 days of the week for the local people to come and access these services and have also started a SEND peer group in the Crown area of the ward. Staff also sit within the Community Pantry on Thursdays and Fridays providing 121 Health & Wellbeing and employment support. WE have also run a very successful Job Fair from that venue.

Communities Together Network

BHLC is part of the development of the Warwick District network of community organisations. This Network is an important space to share good practice, support each other and develop collaborations. It regularly meets bi-monthly with membership consisting of Warwick District Community Hubs, WCAVA, Citizens Advice, SYDNI, The Gap and the Chain. All Members hold contracts with WDC and some also with Orbit Heart of England. The over-arching aim is to maximise resources at all levels for the communities that are served. It also aims to deliver a more joined up service across the District.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Funding for the year 2024-2025 was generated from many different sources

  1. 3 Contracted Services/SLA – Warwick District Council

  2. UKSPF (various UK Social Prosperity grants)

  3. NHS Recharge

  4. Big Lottery Fund

  5. Room Hire

  6. Orbit Housing

  7. Warwickshire County council

  8. Town Council

8

BRUNSWICK HEALTHY LIVING CENTRE LIMITED TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (incl. Directors’ Report) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2025

  1. Various Supermarkets

  2. Miscellaneous income

Contracted services and SLAs were awarded by Warwickshire District Council to BHLC for the provision of Employment Services and Health & Wellbeing Activities.

The NHS Recharge is calculated on an agreed formula of building maintenance cost, building service cost and management cost and is paid quarterly on a 999-year lease. Utilisation of the NHS space has improved significantly in the year, as more Health departments see BHLC as an organisation to provide opportunities to deliver additional services. 2018 saw a revamp of the old dental rooms so Podiatry could run more services including the new 'Shoe fitting service'. We continue to have dialogue with key strategic NHS personnel to maximize the use of the NHS facility and we now have 6 different services running from the area including child health (Health Visitors, Orthoptist & Speech & Language).

The Big Lottery Reaching Communities funding has been extended in 2023 for another 5 years allowing the Brunswick Hub to run and develop its dementia services.

Room/facility hire provides a significant income stream for the Charity with a wide range of users from those providing employment support, medical services or community activity. The income from room hire helps towards closing the funding gap from what we receive for contracted/SLA services and the demands on BHLC Ltd from these services, the community and operating out of Brunswick Hub.

Warwickshire County Council and Heart of England have ensured that funding has been available for our Chilled Food provision.

Miscellaneous Funding - this includes donations and activities by other organisations.

BHLC will work closely with its current funders and organisations to understand their requirements and how best we can deliver services to meet the needs of the community.

Prudent financial management has enabled BHLC to make a surplus within the Year. BHLC has acted responsibly and continues to look at ways to reduce costs, enhance efficiency and improve sustainability. A review of all service contracts has result in significant savings, which will continue into the next financial year.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT

Governing Document

The Charity is controlled by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Company was incorporated on the 23[rd] March 2007 as a Company Limited by Guarantee. The objectives within the Memorandum and Articles of Association were amended by special resolution at the Annual General Meeting on the 30[th] June 2008 following consultation with the Charity Commission.

Brunswick Healthy Living Centre Ltd has had four key partners this year:

  1. South Warwickshire Clinical Commissioning Group managed by NHS Property Services

  2. Warwick District Council Community Services Department (SLA funding)

  3. UKSPF

  4. Big Lottery Funding

Risk Management

The Trustees actively review the major risks which the Charity faces on a regular basis. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the Charity and have established systems to mitigate the significant risks. Risk management is an ongoing process.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Total income amounted to £379,543 (2024 - £321,510) of which £165,510 (2024 - £136,814) was for restricted purposes. Donations and grants increased by £82k and room hire income decreased by £18k. Our principal funding sources are Warwick District Council, the Big Lottery Fund and income generated from room hire.

Expenditure totalled £411,465 (2024 - £348,191) including £109,211 (2024 - £63,649) spent out of the restricted funds. £208,681 (2024 - £188,277) of this expenditure related to staff costs involved in support services to the charitable activities. There was an unrestricted fund deficit this year of £34,197 compared to a deficit in 2024 of £112,194.

BRUNSWICK HEALTHY LIVING CENTRE LIMITED TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (incl. Directors’ Report) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2025

RESERVES POLICY

Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of resources and to cover unplanned emergency repairs and other expenditure. Due to the uncertainty of future funding and the ability of such funding to meet inflation the Trustees consider that the level of free reserves (that is the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets) at 31[st] March 2025 should be at least £125,000.

The present level of free unrestricted reserves available to the Charity amounts to a surplus of £5,956 which is £119,044 lower than the currently estimated needs.

INVESTMENT POLICY

Any surplus funds are placed on short term deposit.

FUTURE PLANS

Work to develop the new Strategic Plan for the 3 years (2025-2028) is ongoing and will clearly outline and take into consideration the needs of the community in the ever-changing economy.

There are six main Strategic Priorities for the coming year:

  1. To develop a Strategic Plan to ensure that future services and activities meet local needs and priorities.

  2. To implement the priorities identified through the ever-changing pandemic fallout.

  3. To maximise income and ensure the future sustainability and efficiency of the Charity.

  4. To work with Warwick District Council to ensure our contractual obligations are met to ensure that the Charity is in a strong position to enter into new contractual arrangements for 2024 - 2025.

  5. To recruit new Trustees to the Board who have a local connection.

  6. To continue and expand the work we do to support and sustain our local community.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

Company Law and Charity Law require the Trustees to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of BHLC and of the surplus or deficit for that period. In preparing those Financial Statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of BHLC and to enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

BRUNSWICK HEALTHY LIVING CENTRE LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2025

1. Accounting Policies

a) Basis of Preparation

The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The Financial Statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity, and rounded to the nearest £1.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

b) Company Status

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee in England & Wales. The members of the Company are the Trustees. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Charity.

c) Income

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the Charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. No amounts are included in the Financial Statements for services donated by volunteers.

d) Government Grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.

A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met. Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability.

e) Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Support costs are allocated to particular charitable activities on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis e.g. staff time.
