Bardney Christian Community Trust
Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ending 5 April 2023
I am pleased to report that despite a backdrop of national economic challenges, The Trust has continued to develop & increase its community activities, particularly around the core base in Bardney.
The 'Open Door' coffee shop has continued to build community and be a social hub in the village, and is ably supported by the marked increase of volunteers, particularly from the younger element in the village which bodes well for sustainability going forward, as well as being an opportunity for the young volunteers to gain extra skills prior to their university experience.
The coffee shop premises continue to host community groups such as Bardney Babies, a drop-in support group for parents & babies, as well as Toddler Tales, which provides a space for those with young ones who are a little older.
The coffee shop also includes a space for locally made crafts to be displayed & purchased, particularly appreciated for those seeking gifts, especially on or around Christmas time. Not forgetting the wreath making which now stretches into 3 sessions.
Discussions began October/November as to how we may further help the relief of poverty in the locality. After robust debate it was agreed that we would progress with a feasibility study in starting a 'Rural Grocery'. This was done & the result is that we have begun a pilot project for an initial 6 months that will provide for sale, at a low cost, food, that has low food miles/ would otherwise be due for landfill. This will be concluded going into the next reporting year.
Bardney Christian Community Trust continues to support pioneers in various ways and further activity is in the development phase.
