Structure, Governance and Management

Organisation

Avonmouth Community Centre Association is an incorporated charity, set up to continue the work of Avonmouth Community Centre Association, an unincorporated charity. The charitable aims remain fundamentally unchanged. The activities, assets and liabilities of Avonmouth Community Centre Association were transferred to the incorporated charity on 16th April 2014.

The Trustees are appointed or reappointed annually at the AGM.

Objectives and activities

Objects of the Charity

The objects of the charity are:

a) To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Avonmouth without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political religious or other opinions, by associating together the said inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.

b) To establish or secure the establishment of a community centre, and to maintain and manage the same (whether alone or in co-operation with the local authority or other person or body) in furtherance of these objects.

Further to these, it is our mission…

That all residents living in the Bristol ward of Avonmouth enjoy a high quality of life, are able to achieve their economic, social and educational goals, and are part of a strong, prosperous and caring local community.

To manage a community building which provides high quality facilities and a range of activities, that is accessible to all sections of the local community.

To continuously develop and update the building, to meet the changing needs and expectations of the community, both now and in the future.

enhance local services for residents, particularly for those people who are disadvantaged, vulnerable or who face difficulties accessing provision appropriate to their particular needs and circumstances.

To develop activities that increase participation in civic life, including through providing local residents with opportunities for self-development, volunteering and involvement in local decision-making.

Public Benefit

In shaping the objectives for the year and planning activities, the trustees have considered the Charity commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

Review of activities

This year has seen an increase in the numbers of people attending the Centre on a weekly basis in our Warm Welcome Drop in Space as well as for a variety of activities.

Our staff team goes from strength to strength with a willingness to go the extra mile for others and supporting each other in what is often challenging work. We lost Karen, who finally retired after 30 plus years, and gained Cath White in January who has been a great addition to the team.

ACCA’s regular users experienced a number of health issues that the Centre staff were able to support. Our Chair of Trustees was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent surgery, chemo and radiology. It was a wonderful testament to the depth of relationships ACCA has built as a variety of people stepped up to help Judith with appointments and lifts to and from hospital. In October it was decided to support Wear it Pink with a coffee morning by way of supporting Judith. It raised approximately £500 with cake sale and raffle and was so well supported as well a being a very bright and colourful day at the Centre.

ACCA bookings continued to grow over the course of the year with new groups added to our staple diet of Kurling, Fab Café, knitting group, Goldies, Supertots, Ladies Club, Knitting and Crochet added a new group to teach knitting, St John’s ambulance, Yoga new, Art Group, Community Learning ESOL, Polish women’s drop in, Line Dancing, Knitting & crochet, Lunch Club, After school play club, Digital Drop in, young heart. RCCG continue to meet at the Centre celebrated 20 years meeting in Avonmouth.

Monday Munch, Tuesday toddler free lunch, Soup lunch, Lunch club, Let’s Cook with Mike, moved our weekly offering of lunch provision to 5 days a week. Then there were special family events with food and Afternoon teas enjoyed by up to 80 people in the Hall.

We began the year with a new pathway in the garden being supplied by Wainwrights, one of the local businesses. Eleven fine young workers arrived and by lunch time we had a brand new tarmacked path just in time for the spring and the opening up of the garden for use by residents.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Our SEN drop in Café support for parents ran every fortnight on Mondays until the autumn. Sonia Grognieuf, our Wellbeing Coordinator began the mapping tool for wellbeing activities around the area, and also began find new activities including a gardening club open to volunteers. Sonia began the transformation of the outside space enabling the space to be used by all ages through the spring, summer and autumn. She also established a good link with Bristol Dementia Alliance and we were glad to host a memory café at ACCA for a number of months until BDA withdrew from Avonmouth.

ACCA participated in a number of research proposals enabling engagement from creating a community archive of stories around the Port, to health and wellbeing and the local environmental impact on Avonmouth Village, to the impact of migration on communities like Avonmouth and Hartcliffe with the outcome helping to create a toolkit to aid building inclusive communities. All that flows was a project from the source of the river Avon to the mouth and invited local people to imagine a positive future with access to the river from which they created a presentation with music and people’s ideas. It was inspiring to hear the voices of those who attended reflected so creatively.

Our CEO continued to represent ACCA and the VCSE organisations on the BNSSG locality Partnership Board during the year, being invited to give a presentation on ACCA’s work in Avonmouth at the July meeting. Alongside this ACCA participated in community heath projects around COPD, Healthy Aging, which included a research project looking at how local shops can help to signpost local residents to activities that benefit their physical and mental health, vaccinations and health checks in the community. ACCA joined the VCSE Alliance as well as being validated by VCSE Brokerage framework in readiness for involvement in community health initiatives as they arise and as it is recognised the valuable work community centres are doing in supporting mental health and promoting physical activities.

ACCA continued to play its part in the wider Bristol network of the voluntary sector and was please to host two Community Development Team events for BCC, one with the CD Teams from Plymouth and Bristol, and the other an Asset Based Community Development Training Day by BCC attended by all the ACCA Staff team.

We continued to provide opportunities for local residents to engage in discussion about the life of the Centre and Avonmouth as a village through our 6 monthly user group meetings, residents and Ward meetings. ACCA continued to seek ways to ensure Avonmouth’s residents voices are heard. This was demonstrated when the number 3 bus was rerouted away from Avonmouth leaving the village without a direct bus to Lawrence Weston or Cribbs Causeway. The impact on the village was very negative and reinforced the idea that Avonmouth is a forgotten place. ACCA were able to instigate an approached to First Bus and then, through our local MP Darren Jones office, the support of partners in Avonmouth to work towards the establishment of a new route 40 with the Big Lemon Bus Company. Our partners in SevernNet helped to secure a WECA funding bid for the route and this was a great example of collaboration with SevernNet, St Andrews and Bristol Northwest Foodbank, schools, Pioneer GP, and ACCA.

ACCA maintained its presence at a number of SevernNet initiatives like the monthly business breakfasts and the development of the local industrial decarbonisation plan. The networking with the business community remains a real strength for ACCA and a source of support from Professional Hygiene’s help hanging notice boards and mending toilet door locks to Nisbets Christmas dinner and the surprise gift of a floor standing freezer, to offers of volunteering days in the garden at the Centre.

Volunteers are key to ACCA’s life and we were joined by a number of students who kept the cleaning of the Centre ticking over whilst we were without a cleaner. Daniel, a local Avonmouth resident, joined us for two or three mornings a week, helping with tidying bins and cleaning floors, and Evgeny arrived

and found a place helping with lunch Club on a Thursday whilst practising his English. Volunteers helped with toddlers, food preparation, making drinks and gardening, and of course, most groups would not run without volunteers making them happen. A team of teenage volunteers joined us from City of Bristol College for two weeks in June and redecorated the men’s and ladies bathrooms.

The other significant partnership was a collaboration with the Bristol Port, St Andrews Church and ACCA to create a welcome pack for new housing over the railway. The packs contained information on Avonmouth and the organisations, some freebies, key information about Avonmouth, like the meaning of the sirens, and were hand delivered to the houses once residents had moved in.

The Port continued to be very supportive of ACCA’s work sending round small work parties to help remove the metal grids over the windows ready for the new replacement installation, and repainting a wall in the main hall following some roof repairs with apprentices. We were grateful to receive a further grant of £5k for the We are Avonmouth Fund, the second of three that the Port had generously agreed towards ACCA core costs. As well as other donations.

ACCA continued to act as a polling station for elections and we continued to develop our links with the Library staff with new groups happening – like a Lego club, and singing and Storytimes as well as Gift a Book which Judith instigated and the ladies from knitting club and friends all contributed to enabling 40 pre school story books to be given to the Supertots group, St Andrews toddler group and St Peters’ toddler Group, The children were thrilled to get early Christmas presents.

Cost of living support was maintained with Citizens Advice Bureau attending every Wednesday during Soup lunch for drop in support for local residents. Food bank referrals increased substantially during the year and ACCA often received fresh bread to distribute from the food bank. The Secret Garden also provided a continuous supply of fresh food throughout the year to be given away or used in the soup. The relationship with the Secret Garden and Luke Murray grew from strength to strength culminating with the planning and execution of the first wonderful Avonmouth Harvest Food Festival in September 2024.

In the run up to Christmas ACCA launched the Little Donkey Trail with 16 beautiful donkeys made by members of the knitting groups hidden around the village in shop windows and notice boards. Local businesses were only too glad to join in and on 18[th] December Santa visited the Centre to pick out the winning number for the Christmas Hamper prize. Around 60 adults and children gathered to have Christmas snacks and drinks and see Santa.

The creativity did not end with donkeys and the Brick Project joined us at ACCA to create a beautiful giant mandala made up of small disks painted by people from all ages and places in Avonmouth from

the Port to the Primary school. The final product now sits proudly in the garden, a testament to community creativity.

We continued to be successful in our fund raising with grants from Wessex Water for the after school club, as well as UKSPF funding from WECA given to engage new people with our work as a Hub for BCC with a target of 12 new people a quarter which we exceeded every time. We received a further grant to extend the work through until September 25. Our food costs were covered by a generous grant from Feeding Bristol and this enabled us to keep our costs low or free during the year supporting those who were struggling with the increasing food costs and utility rises. We received a Community Asset Management grant (£21k) from Bristol City Council to help ACCA move forward in the retrofit of the premises. Having completed the heating system, replacement windows were ordered at both ends of the premises and by November this was complete and made a significant difference to the heating of the Centre and our gas bills. We began to look for further funding to complete windows and with the appointment of Theresa Flannagan as Buildings Consultant further work was identified so that we could begin to look at funding for completing windows and moving on to roof insulation. With a Megawatt grant of £4k we started to plan for new doors in the Hub and Art room to improve efficiency as well as improving the front Café entrance with insulation round the doors. Both doors had steps removed and ramp access installed/improved to give more accessibility to the garden and exits in case of fire.

The big funding moment arrived in September with the successful bid for a fantastic 4 year grant of £310,462 from the National Lottery Communities Fund for ACCA’s core costs. This grant gave ACCA some breathing space and an opportunity to implement a sustainable financial future including bringing down bills without the pressure of seeking core costs for Staff as well as to support our organisational development. ACCA enjoyed amazing support from our accountants during the year and this relationship continues to grow as ACCA establishes a strong base for all the relationship building and impact on the local community during the year.

We were all very sorry when Sonia had to end her employment and return to France in March 25. Her lasting legacy is the garden development which next year’s report will demonstrate how from one disappointment new possibilities emerge.

In amongst all of the activity there remains the priority of people and the wellbeing of Avonmouth as a good place to live. This report demonstrates the way that this is being lived out by the growing numbers engaging with ACCA of all ages and diversity, as well as the recognition and support for our work from beyond for which we are truly thankful.

AVONMOUTH COMMUNITY CENTRE ASSOCIATION

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Reserves policy and risk management

The trustees have previously identified one of the risks associated with the Community Asset Transfer (C.A.T) is that the Association may not, in future years, have sufficient funds to continue to service the Community Centre, employ staff and subsidise projects. The trustees are very aware of the importance of grant funding for staff and project costs and the necessity to build resilience so that we are able to meet our commitments if such funding should no longer be available.

The Trustees are aware that it is prudent to have unrestricted funds available to cover basic running costs and this reserve is to safeguard a continuation of activity whilst further funding is sought for core or project costs. The charity aims to hold general funds as a reserve equal to at least 6 months of basic operational costs. Based on expenditure during the financial year this level should be at least £21,000. Currently, the charity’s general reserves, excluding those funds held as designated reserves are £23,060, slightly above the desired level.

The Trustees have examined the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. These procedures will be periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

The trustees (who are also directors of Avonmouth Community Centre Association for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees confirm that to the best of their knowledge there is no information relevant to the independent examination of which the examiners are unaware. The trustees also confirm that they

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1 Basis of Preparation

At 31 March 2025, the charity had total funds of £446,928 (2024: £409,476 ). Restricted fund amounted to £121,585 (2024: £70,063). The free reserves of the charity, being unrestricted general reserves less designated funds held in general reserves, totalled £20,600 (2024: £27,530). The target for free reserves is to hold 6 months of running costs, which currently equates to around £21,000.

Based on the charity's current financial situation, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity remains a going concern. The accounts have therefore been prepared on the going concern basis.

2 Accounting Policies

i) When donors specify that donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods.

ii) When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until the pre-condition has been met.
