Bransgore Churches Together Coffee House
Registered Charity Number 1133247
Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] November 2021
This has been another year where the Covid19 situation has completely dominated the Coffee House.
We were able to open up for most of December 2020 with heavy restrictions in place, only to have to close down again at Christmas. We were then open for business again on the 17[th] May right through to the 30[th] November 2021
It was helpful that the time we were closed during the year coincided with our normal quieter period, and to be open for the summer months. However, when we were open many of our regular customers were still wary of coming into the Coffee House, and so our takings were very low compared with normal. During the lockdown we also lost a few volunteers which we didn’t manage to recover by the year end as some had moved away or re-evaluated their volunteering habits.
Our menu reflected our care for our customers and so was scaled right back where we only provided those things that we knew we could produce safely. Normally we would have provided a Christmas lunch and been involved with the switching on of the Bransgore Christmas lights, but these events were cancelled. We have maintained our 5 Star award for food hygiene and training continues for volunteers to keep up this excellent and coveted standard.
Our manager Vicky was furloughed during the period we were closed, but when she was working she did an excellent job with all the extra work that came from maintaining the café as a covid19 secure building, and filling in for our lack of volunteers.
Financially, over the year we benefitted greatly from the assistance of government grants. As our overheads are quite limited, and the grants were standard across the sector, we received as much as some cafes with much larger overheads. This together with the furlough assistance meant that we were blessed with a financial surplus over the year. This will enable us to plough this money back into the project as the shop is beginning to look a bit tired, and we will now have the resources to change the entrance around so that the shop becomes wheelchair accessible, which will make a great difference for some people.
There have been no changes in the trustees during the year. The current trustees are as follows
Rev Phil Dixon (Chair) Phil Cole (Treasurer) Rev Benjamin Sargent Anne Ramsbottom Jacqueline Russell Jennifer Hutchins
