The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Governing Document
The charity is controlled by its goveming document and constitutes a Charitable Incorporated
Organisation.
The constitution was adopted on 2nd May 2014. It is cuffently being reviewed by trustees, with a view
to any changes being proposed at the 2026 AGM. The Charity Commission will be informed if any major
changes are being considered during the review.
Organisational Structure, Governance and Management
The charity is administered by an elected board of trustees, made up of between three and twelve
members. The trustees are elected by the general membership at the Annual General Meeting.
Additional trustees can be appointed by the members or the incumbent trustees throughout the year.
The trustees meet several times a year to administer the charity. this is currently at least quarterly.
Decisions may also be made by a majority of trustees responding via electronic means.
Trustee sub-committees are formed as required to deal with safeguarding, disciplinary, staffing, and
other issues.
Annually, the trustee board reviews the pay structure and agrees on any changes to this. The charity is
a Real Living Wage Employer. and therefore, the rise in the structure often reflects the rise in the RLW.
This year's review was done in January 2025, with pay increases across the staff team from April 2025.
There is a trustee resource pack for new or prospective trustees, and all trustees are supported to
attend training as required. There have been no new trustees in this finanaal year.
Day-to-day operations are managed by the Charity Director and leadership team, which meets every 6
weeks, and comprises Managers. Development Workers and operational Officers within the charity.
There is a whole team training day annually (staff and trustees) which biennially includes a half-day
training on each of: Safeguarding. Equalities & Diversity. Health & Safety and Visioning I Charity

The organisation is non-party in politics, and non-sectarian in religion.
Significant Activities
In pursuance of the objectives of the organisation. the activities fall into seven main areas of operation
as follows..
1. The organisation was created from an existing youth centre, and the main HQ premises are
licensed from the adjacent Methodist Church. The organisation continues to support this work
by providing a venue for youth clubs and activities. FACE has also now taken on a second lease
for a Youth Centre previously owned by South Gloucestershire Council.
2. The organisation provides youth and community work contracted by South Glouceslershire and
Bristol City Councils. as well as Town and Parish Councils. The councils dosely monitor this
work to ensure that they deliver the required services.
3. The organisation provides work contracted from Short Breaks for Disabled Children funding.
commissioned by South Gloucestershire and Bristol City Councils. The councils closely monitor
this work to ensure that they deliver the required services.
4. The organisation provides community well-being activities targeted at older or isolated people,
as well as intergenerational projects to promote community cohesion.
5. The organisation applies to grant-making trusts and foundations for project-based funding to
support wider aims and activities to develop FACE'S mission and vision.
6. The organisation works in partnership with other youth and community providers to enhance
and complement the offer in the wider communities in which FACE operates and works closely
with other voluntary or educational organisations providing 'added value, to contracts and funded
work. This is through the use of employees and volunteers of the organisation working. for
example, at local schools.
7. The organisation works with a wider range of members of the local community, providing social
support, learning. or employment skills. This is through a number of drfferent sessions provided
at the ￿ntreS and in other venues. Community volunteers are also recruited and engaged in
community initiatives. furthering the aims of FACE.

2024-25 Development of Objectives and Activities
FACE has created a five-year Development Plan 2023-2028 in order to plan and measure its progress
on key aspects of the charity. The three main headings within the plan are 'People', 'Connections' and
'Sustainability', and a RAG rating has been applied to map progress and plan actions. This is reviewed
by the trustees and the leadership team quarterly.
A team training day in August 2024 reviewed the Development Plan with staff and trustees having input
to shape this for the coming year. The main foci for the coming year are enhancing recruitment. training
and development, and the charity s online presen￿. The Arley Trust funding, mentioned later in this
report, has enabled FACE to focus its efforts more on enhancing sustainability through key measurable
activities and aligning the Arley roadmap with the Development Plan.
FACE has a few key volunteers who assist in running some of its activities. This includes supporting
older people by making tealcoffee and providing IT support, helping to keep FACE'S community garden
plot up together. running stalls at the Christmas Fayre. helping with games. tuck shop and crafts
activities at youth clubs, fundraising and sponsored events, and an administrative volunteer who helps
with tasks such as shredding, laminating, etc.
Paid staff are encouraged to volunteer some time to support FACE in fundraising during the year, such
as the Christmas Fayre. pub quiz nights supporting FACE and sponsored events.
Our main volunteers fall into three main areas.
1. young people who have developed through our youth work and wish to take on more
responsibility and volunteer alongside their peers to gain new skills or develop leadership skills,
adult volunteers who cannot work in paid employment due to ill-health, anxiety, or poor mental
health and who are looking for a stepping-stone to gain new skills and Confiden￿ to look to re-
enter the workforce,
adult volunteers who have retired or do not need supplementary paid employment, or who are
wanting to gain new experience alongside studies or looking to change career path, and choose
to 'give back, and gain different experiences by volunteering their time or fundraising support to
further the work of our charity.
FACE'S Workforce Engagement OffI￿r and Partnerships and Communities Officer work together to
identify areas of work and encourage and match up adult volunteers through these two pathways to find
a meaningful position within FACE. whilst our Youth Work Managers support the youth volunteers to
gain new skills through volunteering and to then gain accredited awards for their efforts.
We estimate that atx)ut 800 hours have been volunteered to FACE during this year.
A further development this year has been the volunteering through social investment from businesses
supporting our charity. with their staff teams coming into the FACE premises to undertake tasks such
as painting, tiling, gardening, clearing, and building furniture. This has equated to around 200 hours
donated by employees from those businesses. including some donations of paint, and equipment such
as brushes, rollers and dust sheets.

Achievements and Perfomiance
Charitable activities
FACE'S work is based at two main leased youth ￿ntreS in Filton and Patchway and then at hired sites
in other communities, which are delivered weekly in Southmead. Easton. Kingswood, Stoke Gifford,
Winterbourne, and Frampton Cotterell.
We also deliver work in schools and other community and public venues and run a holiday programme
across Bristol for autistic children and their families.
Much of the work is commissioned by local authorities and town and parish councils with specific targets
and outcomes. and some of our work is community-led and self-financing or supported through small
grants and donations.
During the financial year 2024-2025. we engaged with 1.887 named individuals on at least one
occasion, which is an increase from 1,744 individuals in the previous year.
These people attended a total of 1.163 sessions across all age groups and locations.
This does not include 'drop-in' visitors and those without names recorded, such as those taking part in
events and activities where registration was not required (e.g. school dropin sessions, coffee mornings.
community events, and detached youth work where names are unknown).
This is a further 493 events with an estimated 8,410 people captured on headcounts for these events.
The tolal annual attendance across FACE'S work for 2024-25 is estimated to be 23,085, an increase of
over 24 % from 18,600 in the previous year.
Children's & Youth Work: (CYW)
FACE continues to be successftjl in its youth work provision. The main focus of the work, as always, is
on open-access youth work. with some more targeted support where needed {e.g. an LGBTQ group.
school project groups, youth violence work, and limited 1-2-1 activities where we have capacity)-
As the 'West' Lot Lead for Youth Activities Offer (YAO) Youth Work within the South Gloucestershire
Youth Work Partnership (Lot 1), we have successfully run the youth work across Patchway, Charlton
Hayes, and Filton. This year, we have also taken on the running of the youth provision in Stoke Gifford,
which was previously subcontracted out last year. We also manage subcontracts for other providers in
Lot 1, with two in Thornbury and one in Bradley Stoke.
We remain a subcontractor within Lots 2 and 3 to the East and South. facilitating youth work in Frampton
Cotterell and Kingswood. We have also maintained an active role in the wider partnership activities. We
are also a Specialist in youth work with neurodivergent young people and young people with additional
needs and learning disabilities within the partnership.
We continue as an active partner within the South GIOu￿sterShIre Youth Work Partnership, following
the successful YAO contract tendering for April 2024 - March 2029. as well as the successful National
Lottery Community Fund partnership bid awarded this year for a further three years. These give
continued stability to our youth work offer in South Gloucestershire and underpins our wider charity.

All youth groups are well attended and the work in Patchway in particular continues to be successful,
building up good relationships with young people and their families and also with the police, councillors.
schools. and other community groups. This has now been extended with our work in the Stoke Gifford
area, and parish councillors are now meeting with us and working together bi-monthly as a coordinated
youth work meeting overseeing the contracts. Filton Town Council has also now tendered a three-year
contract for its junior youth work to us for 2025- 2028. which will further enhance the youth work across
the geographical area.
The weekly football outreach session in Patchway continues to go well, with in-kind support from
Patchway Town Council allowing the use of the 3g sports pitch. as reported last year. The success of
this project has resulted in additional relationships being built with Stoke Gifford Parish Council and
exploring the use of their 3G pitch to start a similar project in the neighbouring town. These pieces of
work have led to building positive relationships with residents and young people who do not currently
attend the centre-based sessions.
FACE'S consultation work in Winterbourne over the past six months led to a successful contract with
Winterbourne Parish Council to deliver a fortnightly youth club provision from spring 2025. This
complements the youth contract we have with Frampton Cotterell and Coalpit Heath & Westerleigh
Parish Councils to provide a c¢)ordinated weekly youth Servi￿ across these rural communities.
SNG (Sovereign) and Clarion housing asscciations have both funded FACE for youth work in areas
where they have housing stock, which has been much valued in these communities. and we hope will
lead to ongoing support for youth work.
We continue to work well with the violen￿ Reduction Partnership (VRP), police, and other local youth
centres to ensure intelligence is coordinated. This project was initially a 2-year funded scheme, which
has just been extended for a further year, with possible exlension to additional workshops and
engagement events in schools. A knife-crime project. a graffiti project, and a music event with 'lncrease
the Peace, have taken place this year with additional funding from the VRP, as well as some training
sessions for staff, supporting young people across the area who are at risk of exploitation and
involvement in youth violence. and those who work with them.
Our Inclusive Duke of Edinburgh's Gold group of six participants were presented with their awards at
the 2025 South Gloucestershire Youth Awards night, along with a further 36 young people who received
their South Gloucestershire Youth Achievement Awards and Volunteering Awards. The awards night
was a fantastic celebration shared with over 120 young people and youth workers from across the local
authority and was co-hosted by young people. with local dignitaries in attendance.
We were again successful in gaining South GIoU￿sterShIre Council support to run Holiday Activities &
Food programmes {HAF) for young people aged 12-16 across our centres, and these were run at
Patchway Youth Centre and off-site trips. These projects during school holidays at Christmas, Easter
and the summer are targeted at those in receipt of free school meals. Every day included cooking and
eating their lunch together, as well as physical activities and group work. and in the summer also
included a residential experience in the Black Mountains.
The monthly youth club for adopted young people at Cathedral School, which FACE co-delivered with
Adoption West, came to an end in August 2024. however feedback was positive and this has led to both
organisations committing to working together to seek funding for a weekly provision for this cohort in
the next financial year. Funding is being sought to hopefully start this group weekly at our Filton site in
September 2025.

We ran a busy 'Youth Zone. marquee at the Filton Festival and attended Charlton Hayes, Patchway
and Stoke Gifford community festivals and events with youth activities. often with 'DORIS' the new
South Gloucestershire Council Youth Vehicle.
Our 10-year anniversary of charity registration took place this year and so we ￿lebrated through a
range of initiatives, part-funded thanks to a grant from the Quartet Community Foundation, with a series
of workshops and activities across our groups during the year, including a Fun Day at Patchway in
August and an AGM and awards night in September. Awards were presented to staff, volunteers.
trustees and young people who had been nominated under our Core Values themes. Nominations for
81 individuals were received. Everyone re￿iVed a ￿rtifIcate, and seven glass awards were also chosen
by a judging panel and presented to worthy winners by the Mayor of Patchway.
Work with those with learning. social and physical disabilities:
The Pathways to Short Breaks project commissioned by Bristol City Council ended in March 2025. The
work with partners at Bristol City Council. Neon Daisy and Exar Wellbeing provided targeted work with
young people not attending school or social groups. We successfully transitioned some of the young
people from these targeted groups into our weekly open-access youth clubs in Bristol.
As a result of this project coming to an end. FACE took the opportunity to reflect on its provision. and
restructured to consolidate our work across two local authorities to transform our Youth Work. This
better aligns our work and our staff teams across the areas.
A new Targeted Youth Work Manager overseeing our youth clubs for neurodiverse and l or disabled
young people, working together with our universal Youth Work Manager has led to a more joined-up
approach and is enhancing skills and practice across our teams.
We continue to successfully deliver the youth groups at Felix Road and Southmead Adventure
Playgrounds as part of the Out & About Servi￿ commissioned to us by WECIL in Bristol. These groups
are now consistently well-attended and have waiting lists. We also continue to recruit more volunteers
including through universities and colleges to support these groups, in order to reduce waiting lists.
Programmes include a range of games, sports, social issues. cooking. quizzes and crafts activities.
Our monthly "Social Club"_ the South Gloucestershire Council-funded project commissioned as part of
their 'Short Breaks for Disabled Children, offer- continues to run for 8 - 13 year olds at our Filton sile.
This small group has built good friendships and has enjoyed monthly activities at the youth centre,
including games, cooking, sports, and a trip to Air Hop.
A tender process was undertaken to continue to deliver the Bristol Autism Project, commissioned by
Bristol City Council, which we heard in February 2025 that we were successful in maintaining,. however.
the funding for this has been markedly reduced. despite the demand for the Servi￿ increasing. The
funding has had a 12 % reduction in the last Iwo years. The new membership scheme (a voluntary
contribution from families of £39 per year), has not had the tak&up which was expected which was
disappointing and we are continuing to review with the Council and with our new BAP manager when
they are appointed, as our previous project worker left in De￿mber 2024 and we have been advertising
for a replacement following a review of Ihe Servi￿ whilst tendering for the new contract.

Our Illuminators disabled adults, group in Filton. has continued throughout the year, building
independence skills, friendships, employment skills, financial awareness and social and community
networks outside the centre. They continue to enjoy a varied programme including accessible trips out,
including meals, shopping trips. a pottery class, theatre visits. and a boat trip with the Willow Trust.
Community Work:
Our weekly groups for older adults continue to run and build attendance in our Filton building.
These include tai chi. low-impact fitness, two weekly coffee mornings. creative writing, and a "Talk &
Tech" session focused on supporting people with technology. Our community groups are enjoyed by
those who attend. and numbers fluctuate as the majority of the members are in their 70s 90s, and
some are in ill health.
Sadly, we have lost two members this year, and three more are on palliative care, which is inevitable
when supporting these older members of the community. FACE provides a space for friendship.
laughter. support and signposting, and an opportunity for inter-generational activities to enhance lives.
The South Gloucestershire Council Community Learning team continues to use our building weekly to
run courses and events for learners, and we also host regular community meetings for other groups,
such as the Filton Community Garden AGM, Filton Twinning Associalion committee meetings and their
AGM.
A new project this year has been the Kingswood Park regeneration scheme, in partnership with Creative
Youth Network, Kingswood Town Council and South Gloucestershire Council. As part of the two-year
Lottery and National Heritage funded project, FACE is providing fortnightly intergenerational workshops
and sessions in the park to bring together older people, disabled people, and teenagers who are the
missing demographics from the park area.

The Wonderful Windows Arts Trail returned to Filton in November 2024 and saw 41 houses and
businesses decorated, with two local businesses sponsoring the trail costs. The refreshment stalls
around the trail again collected donations for the South Gloucestershire and North Bristol Foodbank,
and a payment of £296 was made to the Foodbank following the trail.
Across the communities in which we work, FACE engaged young people in community initiatives to
encourage participation and active citizenship. This included the community Scarecrow Trail in
Patchway, Windows Arts Trail in Frampton Cotterell, Charlton Hayes community fun day. Filton
Festival, Filton Community Garden Fete and Patchway Festival.
We worked with the Filton Community Garden again to facilitate a community Christmas Sing-a-long
in December 2024 which over 100 people of all ages enjoyed. The Filton Town Council generously
donated funds again for mince pies and hot chocolate. which were well appreciated after an hour of
singing Christmas songs and carols in the garden!
We raised £460 at Filton Festival through a community tombola stall, and our popular annual
Christmas Fayre was a great success. raising over £800.
We were Dunelm's charity of the year and gratefully received over 120 gfft bags from customers as
part of their 'Delivering Joy, campaign. which were distributed across our groups.
We were honoured to be invited to apply for funding through two Resilience Funds; UK Youth and
Charities Aid Foundation, Arley Trust.
We were SUC￿$sful in our application to the Arley Trust and started a ￿c￿year funded project to
explore and enhance our Resilience, supported by CAF Advisors.
The project began with a survey across our whole team in January - February 2025 and a workshop
day for key staff and trustees in March to start to create a roadmap forthe next two years. This funding
is 50 % Restricted for'Resilience Building,. and 50 % Unrestricted.
Our plans for this funding include investing in our 'People' _ through rolling out Team Wellbeing and
Staff Progression and Professional Development initiatives. our'Connections'_ enhancing our online
presence, IT infrastructure. and marketing. plus our 'Sustainability' through enhanced support and
recruitment of trustees and key staff. building improvements. business Continuity plan. and renewing

Youth Workers also attended the annual South Gloucestershire Youth Workers conference. taking
part in a series of workshops and activities with other youth workers from across South
Gloucestershire.
Trustees have continued to support staff interview panels. staff meetings and events.
Trustee Claire Hazelgrove was suc￿SsfUllY elected as the local area MP and has had to stand down
as a trustee due to increased workload. She has kindly accepted the position of Patron of FACE and
continues to take an interest in our work and support events.
The Arley Trust Resilience Survey was circulated to all staff and trustees in February, and 36 people
from the team completed it, giving us a great overview of where we are at, and enabling us to build
plans for the coming two years. development opportunities.
Challenges 2024-25:
Our main challenge this year has been in maintaining and developing our youth work provision whilst
carrying vacancies and stsffing shortages. We experienced a sudden loss of seven staff, either leaving
completely or dramatically cutting their hours due to changes in personal circumstances over 6
months, October - March, leaving the charity director and youth work managers covering gaps and
part-time assistants being asked to move locations to balance our teams and ensure sessions could
run safely.
Through the first quarter of 2025. a new breath of life was brought into the charity with the Arley
Resilience Fund. The leadership team restructured and emerged anew, bringing fresh ideas,
developments, and initiatives planned for the summer of 2025. New ideas and initiatives have been
welcotned, but also, at a time when many members of the team are feeling exhausted and stretched.
it has been a challenge to enable staff to reflect and reinvigorate action.
With the excitement of new recruitment has come the time commitment and challenge of interviewing
and inducting new staff, and ensuring the team builds with new relationships and personalities. Being
a diverse team across a wider geographical area has meant more online and hybrid options to facilitate
team meetings and more frequent face-t(Fface meetings to build new relationships and plans.
Reflection and space lo be strategic have been overtaken by operational tasks to ensure delivery of
the work takes place.
The challenges of leasing two 1960s youth ￿ntre buildings have been felt again this year, with the
ongoing maintenance to the roof at Palchway, replacing doors and alarm points at Patchway, and
upgrading fire alarm panels, lights, and other equipment at both our sites, which means more financial
investment. We were fortunate to have social value investment from businesses at Patchway, through
SNG'S 'Match My Project, to replace the front doors, and the business F P Hurley replacing the
accessible toilet.
We are also fortunate to have two Youth Centre buildings where we have paid only a limited rental
(Filton) and a 'peppercorn' rental (Patchway), and we continue lo communicate and work well with the
premises owners (the Methodist Church and South Gloucestershire Council) to look at any possible
grants for improvements or building concerns as they arise. We are still working with the Methodist
Church to agree on a 5-year lease forthe Filton site, as we currently have an annual licence agreement
with them. The building has had its Quinquennial inspection and a new photographic schedule, and a
new lease is expected by autumn 2025. The ongoing Maintenan￿ and upgrades to both these sites

continue to present us with challenges (including the oil heating system at Patchway and the sports
hall floor, which will need sanding and resealing at some point next year).
The rising costs of utility bills, waste collection. IT support, and propety management tasks continue
to require an increasing financial investment to budget each year. and we continue to seek local
business sponsorship and support to reduce these ￿StS where we can. Looking ahead to next year,
we are also mindful of the impact of the rise in employer national Insuran￿ contributions and how this
will affect our budgeting and sustainability.
Sadly, two trustees have stepped down at the end of this financial year, with one staying involved as
a Patron. The charity is now actively seeking more trustees to support the ongoing work and
development. The main focus is to find a new Treasurer as the current Treasurer is stepping down
after the finalisation of the end-of-year accounts. We have a highly efficient and effective Finance
Officer working with the Charity Director to maintain the accounts in the interim period, and have been
supported with advice from Arley Trust Advisors on where and how to seek a suitable Treasurer.
Financial Review
Financial and HR Processes
The following financial and HR Pro￿sseS are implemented at FACE:
Intemet Banking ServI￿S lo allow bank balan￿ analysis and bank transfers in real-time and to
make electronic payments for staff payroll and to suppliers. FACE holds both a current and
savings account with Cooperative Bank. as well as a reserves account with Dudley Building
Society.

Payroll is conducted through the use of an agent. Butler-crowe Payroll.
BreatheHR - a cloud-based HR syslem which holds all personnel records, leave, expenses,
sickness. etc in one pla￿ and meets GDPR and infomation retention policies.
Charge cards this year were obtained for four key staff to make authorised purchases. to set
monthly limits to prevent the use of personal cards for work transactions, and to reduce
expenses claims.
Monthly Finance meetings between the Charity Director and Finance Officer have ensured
better communication and information flow for budgeting and allocation of funds correctly, as
well as budgetary oversight to ensure projects are within budget and spot concerns early.
Reserves Policy

to £147,500. We have managed to build our free reserves back up lo £97,780 by the end of March
2025 (2024: £30,801).

TRUSTEES. ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The free reserves are under the policy amount due to a large period of growth, and the trustees intend
to continue to build them to the policy level of reserves during the next 18 months. We plan to continue
to build this up by at least £500 each month. with additional funds when possible from unrestricted
fundraising.
The reserves policy will be reviewed and implemented by our new treasurer.
Results for the year
Income for the year increased to £727.894 {2024= £451.570). as a result of obtaining more grants and
contracts for specific projects, and growing relationships with Town & Parish Councils.
Expenditure also increased to £597.680 (2024: £452,293) due to growing demands for these activities
and increased staffing hours and responsibilities to run the projects.

Charities Aid Foundation. Arley Trust" the first of a two-year funded Resilience Programme grant,
whereby 500/0 is restricted and 500/0 is unrestricted funding. The whole income is recognised within this
year's accounts but will be spent over the next years. This is why this statement of accounts
includes such a large surplus figure for this year.
Plans for future periods
FACE continues to provide youth and community work across South GIoU￿sterShIre and Bristol,
enhancing its aims and objectives in those areas where it has provisions. Service Level Agreements
and contracts have been negotiated and signed with the two Local Authorities, town and parish councils,
and other funders (such as the Violence Reduction Partnership and SNG). and these will continue to
be frequently monitored and reported as per the agreements.
FACE continues to provide other youth and community work as requested within its capacity; however,
due to recruitment being a main focus at the start of the financial year 202&26, it is not expected that
there will be any significant change to its programme of delivery, with more time being invested in
existing provisions.
Resilience and Sustainability are key factors for us next year. alongside protecting and nurturing our
team and youth centre sites. Our investment in managing operations staff and enhancing our online
presence, by way of new roles, will also underpin the objective for our leadership team's focus to be
more on the resilience roadmap initiatives supported by the Arfey Trust.
Alongside this, significant investment will be made in our Youth Work delivery staff by way of a new
Level 6 Youth Work Apprenticeship that begins in October 2025. and supporting three members of our
youth work team to complete their Level 3 qualification in Youth Work in summer 2025, one member to
complete her Level 4 qualification in Managing Youth Work. and a further four to begin their Level 3
qualification in September 2025 as well as a further person to start her Level 4 qualification.
