ANNUAL REPORT 2020: BIDGLEY POWER FOUNDATION

I am pleased to present our annual report for the 2020 financial year. This report outlines significant deliveries, achievements and challenges faced by Bidgley Power Foundation for the period of December 2020 to October 2021. I am delighted to emphasise that our organisation managed to deliver satisfactory outcomes during the review period despite various challenges and obstacles due to the current Covid 19 pandemic and funding constraints.

We have laid a strong foundation in 2020 to improve the organisation even with the pandemic situation. The takeover of the Aston Pavilion from the Birmingham City Council is one of the major steps we have taken.

Over the last 12 months, we have grown as an organisation - embracing change, welcoming opportunities, and meeting challenges. Our partner organization contributed massively to the successful operation of our activities. West Midlands Police, StreetGames, Birmingham City Council, Aston Villa Football Club, Badminton England, and Sport Birmingham are some of our key partner organizations. These partners were a catalyst for delivering expected wider social outcomes which include reduction in youth-related crime and anti-social behaviour, increases the skills of local youth to support their transition into employment, and positive effects on physical and mental well-being of those who actively participated in our programmes.

All these achievements were the result of our dedicated staff and volunteers who worked hard tremendously during this challenging and turbulent times. Their valuable contribution helped us to implement our targeted programmes effectively and successfully.

I would like to thank our staff and volunteers for their personal contribution to our organisational successes on behalf of the Trustees and management committee. It is their expertise, knowledge, and compassion that make our services stand out for our participants. I take this opportunity to thank all who assisted us.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020: BIDGLEY POWER FOUNDATION

In the past year the Bidgley Power Foundation has made great strides towards achieving many of the aims set out in the Constitution. Our attempts to serve local community have significantly raised the profile of the charity not only with local people, but also with other voluntary and statutory groups working within the Birmingham city as a whole.

During 2020, we managed to achieve some of our targeted activities. One of the goals is to secure Aston Pavilion as in a community asset transfer from the Birmingham City Council. Transferring this community asset into a viable and useful place is a great challenge to us. We are working hard to transform the Aston Pavilion into a vibrant community hub which will be a challenging task in the coming financial year.

We are also working with a number of high level strategic bodies and partners to implement our projects. This has been another success area for the charity where through partnership working, we have been able to address many issues as well as successful delivery of large-scale community events. By working with Parker organisations, we want to delivering the best value for our funders and service users alike.

As everybody faced, Covid 19 pandemic was a challenge for the charity in implementing the projects planned during the last year. However, as a charity we have made to deliver some useful projects as highlighted in this report. We delivered about 500 food parcels during the review period. We implemented programmes for disability service provision as well as learning and skills development for both young and old within our locality. This commitment is always be part of the journey and not a destination. We hope that our review of the last year offers you an insight into the start of this journey.

Many improvements have been made in areas such as governance, financial policy, fundraising and training of our most valuable resource which are our volunteers who go to make this organisation. In this year we have developed the capacity to challenge decisions which affect our service users.

The centre will be available for community use and develops a strong sense of community.
Foster social inclusion and a caring community

Increase participation in sport, physical activities and improve healthy lifestyles
Provide mentoring and carrier guidance
Develop skills and capacity of the community
Create employment opportunities
Enhance citizenship learning
Prevent offending amongst those at risk of offending
Reduce anti-social behaviour and crimes

ANNUAL REPORT 2020: BIDGLEY POWER FOUNDATION

resource.

Proposed uses of Aston pavilion

We have planned to convert the Pavilion for the following purposes for the betterment of the local community.

Figure: 1 Pavilion as a multi-faceted resource

A cultural centre

The Pavilion will offer spaces for diverse cultural activities to develop and strengthen. The community hall will provide a gallery area for local artists, a hall for music and drama performance (particularly for amateur dramatic, music, and operatic groups), regular folk dancing, rooms for creative workshops and a venue for events (for Festival, Arts Trail and Music Festival for example), film shows, lectures, and exhibitions.

A social centre

The Centre will offer a welcoming, friendly and safe environment for social activities and social contact for all sections and all age groups within the local community. The coffee lounge/café will provide a focal point for these social activities as well as offer a welcoming venue to the casual visitor. It will serve as a meeting place for local residents and for community forums, a place where people will become inspired to try new things and discover how they can become more directly involved in the life of their community.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020: BIDGLEY POWER FOUNDATION

A learning centre

BPF has planned to use the Pavilion as a learning centre to teach English and Maths to the students. This will help disadvantaged children in Aston area. Further, this will be sued as an adult education centre to fulfill the needs of the adult population

A leisure and recreational centre

The Pavilion will be able to host a variety of clubs and societies many of which are struggling to find appropriate and affordable premises in which to operate. It will provide how such socially important activity can thrive and develop and new groups can startup.

The community hall will support a wide range of fitness activities - dance exercise, Pilates, Yoga, etc. The hall has the potential to provide a range of health-related recreational activities.

An advice centre

The Centre will provide the opportunity for organisations that offer advice and counseling services to hold regular drop-in sessions or one-off events for the benefit of local residents. This will obviate the need to undertake long and expensive journeys to other venues around the city. Organisations providing advice on benefit claims, career development, health matters, crime prevention and domestic security, parental support, personal finance and debt management are examples of this. Regular local councillor surgeries will also be held in the building.

C) VOLUNTEER TRAINING ON COVID 19

BPF launched a volunteer training programme for 30 young people on how to stay safe during the Covid 19 pandemic. The participants had the opportunity to learn simple steps on how to act during the Covid pandemic. The training programme focused on the following.

The importance of wearing face masks in public places, and outdoors when social distancing is not an option.
Risk levels during Covid 19
Information about symptoms, how to reduce your risk, what to do if you're feeling unwell
Coping with lockdown restrictions
Caring for someone during the pandemic
Information about the test centres
Accessing health services

ANNUAL REPORT 2020: BIDGLEY POWER FOUNDATION

The participants are from the communities who are living in Aston, Lozells and Ladywood.

D). POWER OF SPORT TO TACKLE CRIME’- NETWORK EVENT 29TH JANUARY 2020

Bidgley Power also worked with Street Games to build strong foundations to tackle youth violence and community safety in 2020 utilising the power of sport. With the recent launch of the West Midlands Violence Reduction Unit (VRU), the event was held on 23[rd] January 2020 at 10:00 a.m 12.30 at the Aston Villa Park.

Streetgames, Sport Birmingham and Think Active was working together to support young people to uplift their lives.

The purpose of this session is to further understand the local community sports sector operating in this arena by exploring the existing learning and understanding what has worked well and why and then to begin to frame this in line with the outcomes of the VRU.

E). MAKE A DIFFERENCE (M.A.D) PROJECT

Bidgley Power Foundation, in collaboration with the Sport Birmingham launched ‘The Make A Difference (M.A.D) project in the Aston Pavilion in July 2020. This is an openaccess youth development programme targeted young people aged 11-16. Thirty young people participated in this programme.

This programme aims to work with young people who face personal and social disadvantages or circumstances that make it difficult for them to cope within formal structures.

Young people engaged in the outdoor personal development programme, equip them with life skills to assist their development both within and outside of the school setting and help them to transfer their learning into real-life situations.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020: BIDGLEY POWER FOUNDATION

The programme comprises of a classroom, scenario-based delivery which is then incorporated within a practical setting using sport and physical activities. Importantly, M.A.D is young person-lead, meaning that activities are informed by the young people and based on their needs and interests.

INCOME: 2019 AND 2020

Thanks to our generous partners, funders, and the local community, we have raised £30,900 during 2020 as highlighted in Table 1 and Figure 1 to implement our planned projects. However, the table shows that the income has decreased by 42% when compared to 2019. The reduction of the income has been occurred due to the Covid 19 pandemic and limited funding sources.

Table 1: Income and Expenditure, 2019 & 2020

EXPENSES

The data suggests that 42% of the expenses have been spent on rent and rates as shown in the Figure 2. 36% of the income has been spent on volunteer expenses and salaries. Volunteers play a leading role in organising events and implementing our projects. They are a valuable resource and focussing on developing their skills is a key priority in the future.

Figure 2: Expenses 2020

ANNUAL REPORT 2020: BIDGLEY POWER FOUNDATION

In the next year, we will devote our resources to three main subject areas.

i. Facilitate disadvantaged children to continue their education and
ii. Encourage adults and young people to be active through engaging in physical activities
iii. Enhance the community relations in Aston

Therefore, BPF will promote apprenticeship programmes in collaboration with local entrepreneurs and voluntary organisations. Job fairs designed for registering and matching apprenticeship services to local unemployed and school leavers will be a key planned activity during the next year provided the current Covid 19 situation improves.

‘Homework club’ for children

We hope to achieve the above objectives through the implementation of the following proposals.

Refurbishment of Aston Pavilion

One of our key priorities this year is to secure and refurbish the Pavilion. This centre will be converted to a more user-friendly manner. Under the refurbishment programme, three new office spaces for hire out on a short-term basis will be formed. This office space will be used as a training room, seminar rooms mainly for newstart-ups small scale businesses.

Children are a major asset to the growth of Birmingham city because they are the future leaders. However, child poverty in the city is too high. In Birmingham, about 37% of all the children are living in poverty (about 100,000 children). This is the highest rate of child poverty across the UK’s core cities. Ladywood Constituency where our charity is working has the third-highest level of child poverty in the UK among parliamentary constituencies with 47% of children living in poverty after housing costs (Birmingham Child Poverty Commission, 2015).

The current communication system of the Pavilion will also be upgraded including the establishment of a free WiFi network.

Support young people to enter the labour market

Tackling child poverty is a major challenge and children in poverty have lower educational outcomes than their peers, leading to disadvantaged in their latter life. Therefore, we will embark on a programme to teach children English and Mathematics by establishing a ‘ homework club’ in Aston.

Unemployment is one of the major issues in Ladywood constituency (where Aston falls). According to the data published by the Birmingham City Council in 2020, the Ladywood constituency has the highest claimant unemployment rate (23.2%) in June 2020. The Sutton Coldfield constituency has the lowest unemployment rate (3.8%). This comparison indicates the magnitude of the unemployment issue in Ladywood.

Sports and physical activities

One of the key issues in the Aston areas is inactivity and health issues such as obesity, and diabetes. It has been estimated that around 80 percent of people in Aston are inactive. Therefore we will promote football in collaboration with Aston Villa Foundation.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020: BIDGLEY POWER FOUNDATION

Set-up a ‘youth-club’ and leisure facility for young people and the local community

Birmingham city councils stated aim is to facilitate the transfer of assets of community interest to community groups who can further the use of the buildings.

Lack of local leisure facilities and skilled young people are some of the key issues in Aston. These issues are mainly related with the deprivation. According to index of deprivation in 2010, Aston is ranked fourth worst deprived ward in Birmingham. This situation has created lack of leisure opportunities for young people. In order to assist in tackling this issue, a ‘youth club’ in the Mansfield Green Park, Witton Road in Aston will be established in collaboration West Midlands Police, Aston, Aston Sports and Community Club CIC and Sacred Heart Catholic church.

Counselling services for youth , disadvantaged and disabled adults

According to 2001 census of population, 35 percent of households in Aston are comprised of lone parents. Further, young people have faced a variety of problems due to lack of personalised counselling services. Therefore, it is planned to offer personalised counselling services for young people and lone parents who need assistance, proper guidance and mentoring in personal issues.

The proposed project will:

Provide a venue for young people and adults to spend their spare time fruitfully

Develop community volunteering schemes and recognise local volunteers

Offer a sports training facility for sports such as football and cricket through local partner

Volunteering is at the heart of the Bidgley Power Foundation and we aim to spread this ethos. Levels of volunteering are very low in Birmingham with as little as 12% of adults and 7% of young people doing any volunteering for the community. The Charity aims to reverse this trend by developing programs to recruit, use and retain volunteers from all walks of life in local schemes.

Promote volunteering opportunities and improve skills, experience, leadership qualities, confidence and organisational skills of young people

Develop a community venue for learning and skills development

Currently there a little or no facilities where the local community can access vocational learning . The Aston area has a very high number of NEET young people as well as adults with no formal education. Initiatives have been made by the local council to bring skilled jobs to the area but nearly 80% of the residents have no recognised qualifications.

Recognising volunteers and groups by hosting community awards Known as the “Aston Oscars” with the emphasis on promoting giving back to the community as a virtue.

Establishments of Aston resident community forum

The Charity seek to address this inequality and help local people access vocational education by developing a centre for learning based in a local building. The Charity has identified a venue in the local park which can hold up to 80 people which is owned by the council.

Currently (by the end of 2021) there is no resident association in Aston. BPF, therefore, is in the process of establishing a resident community association. This will provide an opportunity for the community to involvement and help to shape local services, monitor performance, agree on actions for service improvement and discuss the issues in the area.
