Objeclive5, 51ralegie5 and aclivilie5
To provide a team of menthl health support ￿'OrkerS for individual support as required. Manage an effective
community resource cenire offering support for mental health in the communitv through a series of Mindset
groups and other wellbeing groups organised by outside organisations, e.g. Nottingham College, the Deinentia
Memory Cafe and slimming ￿'orld. Encourdge volunteers to help in various managed Lisks within the centre
Offer a Community Cafe for our regular users and the local inhabiLqnts.
Public benefit
BCR aims to support the beneficiaries and the local community by: _
*Reducing loneliness and social isolation;
*Building self-confidence:
*Lowering stress and anxiety;
*Providing volunteering opportunities for therdpeutic benefit and building skills and experience;
.Helping to reduce dependency on local statutory services such as GPS. crisis and locality mental health teams,
and A & E by providing a non-clinical alternative for those M'ith support needs before they reach a clinical
threshold-
.Providing a safe space in the community cafe-
.Providing rooms for hire to local groups and individuals.
.Providing and maintaining a community garden for tranquil reflection and appreciating nature.
The trustees confirni that they have complied M'ith the requirements of section 17 of the Charilies Act 201 I to
have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Achievements and performance
The support offered to people with lived mental health issues has developed and increased as the year
progressed, through a mixture of l- I meetings. group activities and volunteering opportunities. This has been a
challenge, as volume has increased during this period. with the loss of one Mental Health Support Worker. Our
staff have coped admirably well with this situation, though not without personal cost.
Also, after a concerted advertising and promotion campaign. our Operations Manager and Admin staff have
managed to significantly increase room hire and the revenue that comes from it.
Due to successful funding bid5 by our Funding and Finance Coordinator, we have been able to continue to
employ part time kitchen staff who were once paid from the COMF Fund, which ha5 enabled us to continue to
offer an extended cafe Service until 4 in the afteTnoon.
Our garden has been enriched by the addition ola summethouse and extensive work by our volunteer gardening
team, who have made the garden into a beautiful space. a comment often made by new visitors to the Centre.
Furthemore, our Mindset Program has been increased and enriched with the likes of TED talks, the philosophy
group and Music Appreciation. and has seen increased engatsement from referred people and members of the
wider public alike.
Financial review
We made an operational surplus of £60,865 in the year. This was primarily due to successffil funding bids but
also down to an improvement in both Room Hire and Cafe income. This was significantly better than budgeted
and has enabled us to fund additional Support Worker hours during the year and to ring-fence funds to maintain
these into 25126.

Beeston Community Resource CIO
Trustees, Report {continlled)
Policy on reserves
We hold a Reserve Fund of £ 100.000, this has been maintained from last year due to successful funding bids.
This should help us cover any staff remunerations and cover an>. debts, should we get iTJto severe difficulties.
The reserves are held over separate accounts to maximise Financial Services Compensation Scheme cover.
Major risks and management oflhose ri5As
Premise.s
The main risk we face is if we lose the tenancy of the building. which we lease from Nottinghamshire County
Council. There is an additional risk that ihe charges levied on us are increased significantly folloiving a review
of the charging mechanisms by the Council. If we losi the use of the premises, we would have to look for major
funding to find new premises. Other risks include a slowing down of Room Hire and the increasingly
challenging grant funding environment impacting our income to cover salary and operaiional costs.
Thanks
The Beeston Consolidated Charity and the National Lottery have given vital support by providing grants for our
core staifing costs.
Grants from Moorbridge Lane Social Centre. the Garfield Weston Foundation. the Contain Outbreak
Management Fund (COMF). the Edward G05tling Foundation. Nottinghamshire County Council Local
Communities Fund. and the Thomas Farr Charity have supported general costs and important initiative5.
The National Lottery 15 also supporting Mindset running costs.
We have had grants for IT equipment from the Broxtowe Borough Council Shared Prosperity Fund. the Mark
Benevolent Fund, and the East Midlands Airport Community Fund. Equipment was also donated by the
WaVe]en￿h charity.
Grants from the Finnis Scott Foundation, Boots Charitable Trust. Severn Trent Community Fund, J N
Derbyshire Trust, Nottinghamshire County Council Divisional Fund and Tesco Stronger SLgrts have enabled
garden developments and improvements. FOllo￿.ing us providing a venue for the Beeston and Chilwell Garden
Trail, we received a donation funded from the ticket sales.
We have also received a generous donalion, as a chosen local charity. from Oxjam Beeston. Plus, several
generous donations from members of the Middle Street Communlty and local Masonic Lodges.
We would like to give our wholehearted thanks to all of these funders, without whose generosity we would not
be able to operate, and our thanks go out also to Nottinghamshire County Council for continuing to lease us the
premises.

Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trnstees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material

continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date
of approval of the financial statements.

reliably measured.

period and lockdowms we have needed to "kickstart" the Mindset programme with support from staff members
and outside facilitators to continue eiisting groups such as Talk aTJd Support. Poetry and Guitar and set up new
Creative Writing and photography groups. The main purpose of the fund was to help build the provision up
again in a safe and positive way folloiying a traumatic period for most of our service users.
Also from The National Lottery Communitv Fund ￿'aS funding for a Supporting Mentsl Health project, this
funding helped towards the salary of the Menlal Health Support Worker roles.
Last year, The National Grid gave funding tom'ards a projecl to help create an outdoor community space. This
year further funding was received from Bools Charilable Trusl, Finnis Scott foundation, Groundwork UK and
individual donations, ￿'hICh with the exception of some of the Boots funding was all spent in this financial year
on the garden improvements. The remaining balance will be spent in the 2025126 year.

Last year, The Community Garden Volunteers Project was funded by The Green Hall Foundation and was all
spent and completed in this financial year. The project supported the community garden volunteers to grow their
gardening skills and appreciate the mental health benefits of working in the garden. This helped towards the
community garden activity, including training, support staff costs and equipment.
Beeston Consolidated Charity kindly provided restricted funding which contributed towards our management
and Mental Health Support Worker salaries throughout the year.
There were also the following restriaed funds which completed last year:
The Memorial garden was a fund sel up to enhance and develop an area of the communlty gardei) to be a place
of tranquillity and peace where people could remember lost ones. We have partitioned an area off with a
wooden structure and planted new plants and bushes as well as enhancing the seating area. This was started with
the funding from the Co-operative Community Fund last year and continued with further funding from Tesco.
The National Lottery Community Fund gave funding for a Cost of Living project, which covers the costs of
premises, staff time and volunteer costs.
The transfers from the Outdoor space fund and the Equipment fund to the General fund represents the net book
value of fixed assets, the use of which is not subject to any restriction.
