Bransgore Churches Together Coffee House

Registered Charity Number 1133247

Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] November 2023

This has been an exciting year for the Coffee House and has seen the successful refurbishment of the shop resulting in many positive comment and much easier access for all. Our financial position seems secure and we continue to provide a warm and welcoming place for the Bransgore community in line with our Christian ethos.

Trustees - During the year Phil Cole retired as Treasurer and Trustee. Phil Dixon stepped down as Chairman and Trustee. Liz Ramsbottom became acting Chair and we welcomed Tim Kettle as the new Treasurer, and Andi Norton, Anne-Marie Thomson and Debbie Sherwin as Trustees. In the coming year Liz Ramsbottom will stand down as acting Chair and Trustee. Her place to be taken by Andi Norton.

Authorised bank signatories are Tim Kettle, Jenny Hutchins, Vicky Stimpson and Anne-Marie Thomson.

Refurbishment – This year we reached the financial position where we felt able to undertake some necessary refurbishments to the shop. These included updated electrics, new back door and door frame, replacement shop front, maintenance/replacement of WC and basin, new flooring, new cupboards under the counter and redecoration.

Price rise and cost management - Rising costs caused us to increase our prices. Our prices still represent excellent value for money in line with our ethos as a Christian community coffee house. All purchase and expenditure is carefully reviewed. We are thankful for the ongoing generosity of the people of Bransgore.

Staff and Volunteers - Our Manager Vicky Stimpson continues to manage the day-to-day running of the Coffee House. She is supported by volunteers who work in the Coffee House and who bake cakes/soups. We also welcome volunteers from the Fortune Centre and Duke of Edinburgh Award Students. It is an on-going challenge to find new volunteers.

Promotion – Our promotional activities continue and this year we have launched a new website and put extra effort into raising our profile via social media.

Activities - Re-opening event with Desmond Swayne, King’s Coronation special event, Bransgore Fun Day, Christmas Carols and light switch-on, Christmas Lunch, Venue for monthly Police surgery, Memory Club and various ad-hoc meeting groups.
