## **Refresh Bristol’s activities in 2021-22** 

Refresh Bristol’s activities in our 11th year of operation include: 

- A community drop-in cafe (providing work experience and training to local unemployed individuals, many of whom have mental health support needs or are in recovery from addictions). A more structured management, cleaning and jobs plan has been introduced for the volunteers. The café was closed during the Covid-19 outbreak from March 2020 to 2021 at different periods – However throughout the Pandemic – the café remained open to serve free food parcels from our foodbank and also provided a free cookied hot meal for the homeless every Wednesday. 

- Free and subsidized hot meals for the homeless and marginalized continued to be served however every Wednesday throughout the Covid-19 period via serviing outside through the front door of the café – signposting the homeless to accommodation and to other services was also done where possible 

- The provision of emergency food parcels to those in poverty from our Foodbank also continued throughout the Covid-19 period every Wednesday 

- Fellowship and Support Group was moved to take place in our other building on a Wednesday evening at the South Bristol Christian Centre 

- Due to Covid-19 our training courses were largely stopped although we continued to train people in running the Foodbank and the free cooked meals for the homeless 

- Healing prayer in the South Bristol Christian by appointment only continued and sometimes in an outside space near the cafe 

- Prophetic Outreach/Healing/Music team weekly on was also stopped because of Covid19 although we did hold an outside Christmas music event and a large Christmas meal for street people and the foodbank users and the homesless people 

- Operation of the Charity shop called Revival Market which is a Vintage market shop enabling some unemployed people to rent stalls and run their own small businesses 

- Collaboration with the Healing Rooms which focus on ministering to the sick 

- Management of the South Bristol Christian Centre which is like a community centre and 

has community groups operating there – the current users consist of Brownies, Girls Brigade, Child contact Centre, AA, Memories of Bedminster, some.other sporadic community groups, the South Bristol Prayer House (SBHOP), Bristol Healing Rooms, SOZO Arts group – many of these activities were put on hold for a large part of the time due to Covid-19 

- Operation of a Sunday worship gathering at the South Bristol Christian Centre still happened but was less frequent due to Covid-19 

- Have a link with a farm where people can do voluntary or paid work with animals or construction

## **Activities planned by Refresh Bristol for 2021-2022** 

Future planned activities include: 

- Aim to run a monthly Spirit Café with a variety of outreach and spiritual activities 

- Aim to help set up more therapeutic activities at the farm using animals and the arts and growing vegetables and flowers and some spiritual activities in liaison with a local Anglican Church and relevant community organisations 

- We want to revamp and refurbish the drop in café, foodbank area, homeless bathroom and the prayer room as the current facilities are 6 years old 

- We are looking to apply for more grants and increase fundraising activities so that we can expand, improve what we do and take on more team leaders and managers and reopen the drop-in café and get some of our training courses back up and running 

## **Refresh Bristol’s Public benefits** 

Public benefits provided by Refresh include: 

- The community drop-in cafe provides a place of community and inclusion for the marginalized, lonely, elderly people with mental health support needs and for those in recovery from addictions. 

- We also provide work experience and some mentoring/training in a supportive environment. We then offer references to help volunteers find employment (so far several individuals who were homeless or long-term unemployed have found full-time work – section below). 

- The various training courses (such a job skills club for single parents) give local people useful skills and help them to find employment. 

- The weekly free hot meals for the homeless and marginalized, in addition individuals are provided with free food as need dictates. 

- The Foodbank provides free food parcels to a wide variety of individuals and families who have been referred to us from other agencies who have been made redundant or have issues with benefits sanctions or debts. 

- For those who require it, the prayer room is available as a peaceful sanctuary for people to reflect, receive prayer support and a listening ear. 

- We sign post individuals to a range of other services such as housing, accommodation, benefits, training and life-skills agencies. 

- Provision of help to individuals to find wholeness, spiritual fulfilment and to realize their potential and exercise their gifts. 

- We take on volunteers from new organizations to offer their clients work experience placements 

3 



- We plan to host a wet clinic for alcohics run in conjunction with the NHS and the Bristol Drugs Project 

Those in contact with our charity report greater social inclusion through motivation, encouragement and supportive relationships and community involvement as shown below. 

## **Our key achievements for the 2021 to 2022 year are:** 

## **Volunteers into employment:** 

Refresh volunteers going on to full-time employment or onto further training – our volunteer but unemployed administrator went into full-time employment. Some of these individuals were previously homeless, had criminal records, others have suffered from long-term depression. 

## **Provision of government work placements for the DWP :** 

The Job Centre sends us a few people who have been long-term unemployed for over 2 years who we train in catering, cleaning, health and safety, running the foodbank and administration skills. 

## **Supporting those in recovery and those with learning/physical disabilities and mental health issues:** 

We have interacted with countless addicts and regularly support many individuals who were long-term addicts who have either completely stopped using addictive substance or who have significantly reduced their consumption. We also supported other recovering addicts to attend ‘rehabs’ outside of Bristol. 

We have also supported many people with depression and mental health support needs or who are ex-servicemen or ex-offenders. Many have found fulfilment in their work experience in our café and in the relationships developed there. 

We have several volunteers with learning disabilities such as Aspergers Syndrome and other conditions which includes physical impairments. These volunteers have benefitted from our supportive environment, relationships with other volunteers café users and have developed new practical and social skills 

## **Foodbank Recipients:** 

Unlike other foodbanks who only did delivery we kept our shopfront open for the collection of foodbank parcels all through the Covid-19 lockdowns etc. Our average weekly distribution of food parcels to individuals and families is from between 20 to 30 per week. We have seen an increase in families with children coming to us. The majority of recipients were unemployed, many of whom had had their benefits stopped; some are homeless. A few of these recipients have since volunteered for Refresh. 

## **Clothes bank:** 

Many people have benefitted from our free clothes bank. We have also supplied homeless individuals moving into accommodation with free bedding. 

## **Homeless/marginalized free and subsidized hot meal recipients:** 

We provide free and subsidised hot meals to around 10 marginalized and 10+ homeless people each Wednesday.. At Christmas we were able to serve over 25 people free hot meals. 

4 



## **Fellowship / Support Group** 

This weekly group is attended by up to 12 people. This group offers support and friendship as well as Christian spiritual input. It’s usual format includes food and prayer, bible study, worship or different speakers and individual mentoring, if sought. 

## **Impartation of knowledge and practical skills via on the job training** 

The volunteers in the foodbank have received training in administration and have learnt skills in working with vulnerable people. In both of these areas people have been empowered to be more  self-motivated and confident and volunteers have been able to make a positive contribution to the community. 

## **Subsidized English lessons for speakers of other languages** 

Not currently running due to Covid-19 impact 

In summary, we have recorded the following measurements of our achievements: 

|**Number of people using services**|**Numbers**<br>**week/year**|
|---|---|
|Individuals who use Refresh café/services weekly.|Approx. 75 per week|
|Individuals/families using the foodbank|20-30 per week|

## **Previous Testimonials of changed lives** 

S. I came to volunteer at Refresh in the café, having led an isolated life in Knowle West and at first was not willing to communicate much but just to wash up and clean tables – after a while I was taught to cook and have now got my confidence back and feel part of a caring community and family of people who care and was offered a full time job in a large hotel chain. I was also helped practically with food parcels 

D. I am a Refresh customer and feel Refresh is very important to Bedminster and the community in days like this where life is getting more expensive and there are more homeless on the streets – it’s a valid cause and should be open 6 days a week 

J. I have been living on the streets since my marriage broke down due to my addiction and me losing my job. I have found Refresh to be a sanctuary for me and a place of peace. Its been very helpful for me to be able to use the Refresh washing machine to wash my clothes and also for me to take showers and baths at Refresh to keep clean. Refresh is a special place and gives me warmth, love and friendship – it has a great atmosphere and in talking and sharing with some of the staff there I have been able to stop drinking for several weeks. 

F. I became homeless after I went into depression following the death of my mother who died in Jamaica and I was unable to visit her or attend the funeral. Following my depression I started drinking and lost my job. I have been eating the free Refresh hot meals for the homeless and recently found faith in Christ. My life has subsequently got transformed. I have been reconciled to my brother and will be receiving an inheritance from my mother and I have also been offered a new job and my drinking has stopped and my depression lifted. 

B. "I was a drinker & drug taker, a compulsive armed robber. I took more drugs than anybody I knew. I had nearly 20 years of living hell, spending over 10 of them in prison, a circle which nearly drove me insane. I came out of prison after several sentences at 41 years old and felt my life had stopped as prison was so soul destroying. I had a friend from childhood who was a Christian. He took me to the group and one night I accepted Jesus into my life and I have not been the same since. I feel joy in my Spirit and I'mm helping others cursed with addiction and know Gods plan is happening for me now. I'm excited about the future and am not looking back thanks to my new found faith in Jesus and the change I have experienced. Please call me if you want to meet me and I will happily share with you and pray for you if you want." – B. 

Mi. "Before I was involved in Refresh, I had just come out of a difficult relationship, which ended on bad terms. I was left without anything, I was sofa surfing staying with a different mate every night and drank as much alcohol as I could afford. When my vicar brought me along to Refresh I had nothing. I started to volunteer in the cafe and God has really blessed me. Refresh has helped me to obtain a stable roof over my head and has given me purpose. I had literally hit rock bottom, but thanks to the support of Refresh came back stronger than ever and have now become spiritually mature and I'm closer to God than ever."

N. -"I feel I have benefited from being involved in _Refresh_ since I have gained confidence in being of use for a charitable cause. I found people welcoming and was given sincere attention, which meant I was able to open up and share. I have felt included through the Fellowship and Support group." 

There are many many more people and volunteers who have experienced positive transformation. 

## **Contribution from Volunteers** 

Volunteers are our most important asset and have become a key focus in our work. We have had over 550 volunteers since the Charity started – currently we receive applications for volunteering weekly. These volunteers primarily work in the with the homeless, child contact centre, foodbank, vintage shop or office and gain work experience, develop essential life and work skills and are welcomed into the Refresh community. Many comment that they benefit from increasing confidence and are able to avoid social isolation. 

Around 20% of our volunteers and staff have known mental health support needs or are recovering from addiction, the majority are unemployed and of working age. 

## **Employment of disabled persons** 

We do not currently employ any disabled people but have several volunteers with learning difficulties. When we appoint staff or volunteers, we use our standard application form which enables us to undertake the short listing process without knowing the personal details of the candidates. We also offer a trial day for applicants to try us out. For one physically disabled volunteer we make regular adjustments and allowances to provide for her needs so that she can operate safely and get fulfilment. The vacancies are promoted through local networks and on our website. We are confident that the procedure enables us to recruit fairly, and also to avoid any suspicion of bias against disabled people or members of other marginalized groups. 

## **Membership of wider network** 

We link and work with a number of networks, charities, groups and churches. These include: the Bristol 5K (citywide foodbanks network), BS3 churches together, Bristol Prayer Wall/Network, Arise Bristol, FareShare, Elim E5 church, Supermarket chains like Asda, Tesco and LIDL, Voscur courses, Bristol Methodist Centre, Bristol Soup Run, Addiction Network, Crisis Centre Ministries, Bedminster Neighbourhood Partnership, Bedminster Traders, South Bristol Christian Centre, Healing Rooms Bristol, BS3 Connect, St Mary Redcliffe, and the Bristol Citizens Advice Bureau, Local Crisis support team of Bristol city council; Adult Learning of Bristol city council; BID Bedminster independent traders 

## **The major risks to which the charity is exposed & reviews & systems to mitigate risks** 

Funding for the longer term and particularly for the payment of skilled staff is our biggest challenge. We hope to recruit two part-time experienced funders in the near future. In the meantime we hope to provide training to some of our volunteer administrators to assist with funding bids and events etc. We currently rely almost exclusively on volunteers, some of whom are skilled. There is a risk of them not being available but so far we have always been able to meet our 

7 



commitments, 

We review the insurance cover once a year against all the risks involved with our activities. 

We have one paid staff member ie. Our Office Manager. The stocks in our foodbank sometimes are very low and we need to keep finding new supplies to keep our stock levels up. 

## **Structure, governance and management of the charity** 

The Charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and therefore has no share capital. It is governed by a memorandum and articles of association. There are no restrictions in the governing document on the operation of the Charity or on its investment powers, other than those imposed by general charity law. Every Member undertakes to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the company in the event of the winding up of the company. 

## **Trustees/Directors** 

The Charity/Company is overseen by a 4 member trustee group. The trustees are also company Directors. 

The Trustees meet every month to consider the progress of the charity with regard to its aims and objectives, the financial position, fundraising and to provide general oversight. The meetings are structured with written agendas and full minutes are taken and agreed. Our Trustee group all serve in a voluntary capacity and provide a wide range of skills and expertise including Child Protection, Employment support, Business advice, Research and funding applications and Prayer Support. 

The day to day running of the charity is overseen by the voluntary Projects Director. Staff of the charity have been delegated authority to carry out day-to-day activities within policies agreed by the Trustees. 

## **New Trustees** 

We are in the process of recruiting and appointing new trustees who need to attend our trustee meetings for 3 months before they can officially take up the post. All potential trustees would be given a copy of the Volunteer Application Pack and the Trustee Application Pack. The Trustee Application Pack is currently in development and includes: 

- the memorandum and articles of association, 

- our Trustee Handbook, 

- the various Trustee annual reports made available 

- the current set of management financial statements, 

- and several documents produced by the Charity Commission 

- describing the role and responsibilities of charity trustees. 

The Volunteer Application Pack contains information about: 

- the work we undertake, 

- the needs we seek to address, 

- the principles we follow, and 

- the expectations we have of all our volunteers, whether they serve as trustees or in any other role. 

- values 

8 



It also contains an application form and a form on which a reference can be given. 

We have approached individuals, churches and other organisations we are in contact with, as part of our strategy for identifying suitable new trustees. Potential new trustees would be invited to meet the Project Director, other members of trustee group, staff and volunteers, to talk about what they do and any aspect of the work and would be expected to attend three Trustee meetings before being enrolled. 

Trustees can be elected at the AGM, or appointed on a provisional basis by the Trustee Group until the next AGM. When someone who has not been elected at the AGM comes forward as a potential new trustee and it seems that they will be able to contribute to the work, they will be invited to the trustees’ meeting on a trial basis for three months, after which they would be interviewed by two of the existing trustees. 

## **Financial Review for the year ended April 2021** 

The company was formed in February 2012 but remained dormant until the charity opened on 1[st] May 2012. 

At the start of the Charity, the trustees took over the building, the assets and reserves of a community group called Refresh. 

## **Policies on reserves and investments** 

Our policy will be to maintain reserves at a level necessary to sustain planned activities for the charity – 

Restricted funds, if any, are spent as soon as possible in line with the donor's wishes. 

The balance sheet shows the funds being operated. The General fund free accumulated surplus is intended to be between at least 3 months of income, to provide bridging finance in the event that funding sources become inadequate. 

## **Transactions and financial position** 

The trustees consider the financial performance by the charity during the year to have been satisfactory. We have received and earned what we have needed to operate, but not much more. 

We have set up a regular donations scheme via Stewardship for private donors and have some regular givers. We also have a Paypal and HSBC account which is accessible from our bank account and website. 

## **We are very grateful to all volunteers, staff and those who have made grants and donations to Refresh Bristol and wish to express our sincere thanks.** 

## **Signed on behalf of the Board of Trustees**

The charitls trustees are responsible for the preparation of accounts. The charity's
members consider that an audit is not required ft)r this year under section 144 of the
Charit*s Act 2011 (the Charrt￿S Act) and that an independent examinath)n is needed.
It is our responsibilty to-.
. examine the accounts under section 145 of the Chartties Ac(

Cornmission {under sect*)n 145151{bl of the Charthes Act), and

Basis of illdependeDt ¢yamin¢r's report
Our examination was carrred out in acwrdance with the General Directions given by the
Charty Commission. An examination includes a review of the accountsng reC￿rdS kept by
the charity and a comparison of the aecounts presented wrth those re￿rds. 11 also
includes consideration of any unusual items or disck)sures in the accounts, and seeking
explanations from trustees c4)nceming such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be reqLEired in an audr( . and consequently no opinion
is given as to whether the accounts present a Irlte and fairf view and the report is limited
lo those matters set out in the statement below.
This report is made to you in aC0)rdan￿ ￿th the tern￿ of our engagement and for ￿ other
purpose. To the fullest extent perrn￿ by law, we do not accept or assume resp)nsibilty to
anyone other than the trustees. for our work or for this reporL
Inde￿ndent examin•rf8 statement
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention"
1. which gNes us rgasonable cause to believe that in. any material respect, the
