Over the last year BHB has started charitable educational events and, along with our café kiosk have been gaining focus as a ‘hub’ for the local communities in Rottingdean and Ovingdean. We have also implemented provision for car park security allowing for parking at the centre which is the first stage of the building development. During the year BHB has also been developing policies, developing roles of management team and preparing educational objectives and support, commencing fundraising for build and educational events. The trustee team have been working hard on the fundraising strategy for the building work and are in the process of submitting funding requests to several trusts. |

The reserves are set at £1,000. Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves It is based on being able to continue operating for 3 months in terms of running the café and having enough funds for a major fundraising event. Any funds raised from these activities should be firstly used to maintain the reserves and following the replenishment of reserves additional surpluses may be used for good causes or used in order to pay for the renovations that have been planned.
