Bodmin Road Church- Directors, Report Bodmin Road Church ha5 served the Bransholme community since 1968. providin8 a wide range of holistic support programmes designed to impact the physical, mental. emotional and spiritual well-being of the people with whom we work. Bransholme. an estate 8 miles in perimeter, comprises two wards. both of whith fall in the bottom 0.5% of wards on the national indi$ of social deprivation. Over the last 25 years. we have delivered a wide range of community projects and servi. employing between 4 and 9 staff at any one time (currently 41. We are a long- established, grass-roots organisatim with a fabulous team of experienced staff, volunteers and trustees. Our unique selling point is the relational atmosphere and sense of belonging that pervades our work and our two buildings. Across those two sites. Church site and Pennine Centre. we r40rmally have contact with around 150 people each weeK who come in to enjoy our groups. activities and supp)rt programmes. In short. our aim is to be a for for good and a Pla of welcome and hope in the local community. meeting the needs of the whole person through a range of ser¥ice5 and programme5 which are open to all. regardless of faith. rall, 22123 has been a smooth and successful year with no major 1MP5 in the road. and no big thanges in personnel. We have seen steady attendance at all our midweek group5 and Sunday service attendan h35 grown. with a congregation averaging around 60. On the buildings front, the addition of a scooter shelter at the thurch srte was big success, and across both sites we have gradually transitioned to ec(Ffriendly LED lightin& Our two buildings are in exlIent shape and remain a valuable resource both for our own work and for income generation through room rentals. "Bodmin Road Church makes a superb contribution to life in one of the countrfs most deprived communities. Diana Johnson, MP Without you lot I don't think I'd still be here." Geor

There wa5 an excess this year partly because we lost, and have not immediately replaced. a member of staff, but over a full cyde we will spend every penny reorved. maintaining onty such reserves as are required by the Charity Commission. As this report is being typed, we do in fact have an advert out for a new position. Not immediately replacing this staff member also helped to offset the massive spike in energy prices which everyone suffered in this perlod.

It is important to note that we are an independent church. operating without any denominational supporL We are therefore entirely responsible for our own financial management and sustainability. All decisions are made "on the ground" by our own fully-involved twstee& whith allows a flexible and dynamic approach to both opportunities and to challenge5. All ring-fenced 8rant funding for community projects is or course managed separately from the ordinary church finances.

The Charity Shop is inundated with donations and making an excellent contribution to our finan. as well as providing the community with cheap goods and dothes. The Men's Group, targeting particularly older rnen. m05t of whom live alone, has gone from strength to strength this year. We are seeking to combat loneliness and encourage posittve mental health. Table tennis. pool and darts are popular. a5 well as quiet conversation over a coffee. We expected the Carers. servi to lose its CnCil fundin& but in the end, fvndin8 was extended till June 2023. fina was therefore able to continue that work running groups and home support. The Knit and Natter groups have been popular and well-attended all year. The Debt Support has expanded from I momin8 per week to 2 mornings. It is run by separate professional organisation, Igntte Communities, in retum for a grant whith we pay to them on 3 qltarterly basis. Demand for their services is high and the team offers benefits advice alongside the work on debt and budgeting. We have committed a significant Spend from our reserves in order to put this work on a firm footing (xrt till April 2025. We were able to do thi5 because our reserves figure had grown higher than our reserves policy requires. and this is an example of our earlier-mentioned commitment to spend our resources serving our community. and of the way in which our Trustee5 manage the budget in a manner which allows us to commit to new opportunities, wf)tlst safely covering our own risks in line with Charity Commission guidance. Overall. it has been a steady and successful year which has seen many live5 touched and strengthened in many different ways. -coming here is the highlight of my week.- Margaret, Knit & Natter
