ofthe charity
during the year|||Offered and delivered
successful
Consultancy,
Coaching, and
Training to churches
and church members
who are connecting|| ||||with their local schools (and their associated
wider communities)|| ||||and heading
up different school/community
projects.|| ||||These included
Christmas
and Easter workshops;prayer/reflective|| ||||spaces (both indoors and outdoors);
social action projects;|| ||||supporting
RE and collective worship
provision.|| ||||We have connected
with people and churches
all over the Bristol|| ||||area, often with one off consultancy
advice. We have also|| ||||worked for longer periods oftime with churches
in Easton,|| ||||Avonmouth,
Bedminster,
Stockwood, Shirehampton,
Cromhall,|| ||||Wick, Lockleaze, and Clifton.|| ||||We have run various
City-wide
training
events for churches to|| ||||better enable them to connect with their local schools, and also|| ||||smaller bespoke training
sessions e.g.fora particular|| ||||church/group
ofchurches.
This included
an event in September|| ||||2019which was well attended —we focused on people sharing|| ||||their stories of how they have been connecting
with their local|| ||||schools, and we invited representatives
from other organisations|| ||||to present as well.
We also ran some 'Prayers Spaces in School'|| ||||training
sessions —both in person and online
(all were well|| ||||attended).|| ||||We have continued
to facilitate a project called Children Just Like|| ||||Me which
links schools from very different areas to each other|| ||||and helps to develop relations
between the children so that a|| ||||meaningful
dialogue can happen.
The project involves
writing|| ||||letters, hosting trips to each other's schools/local|| ||||community/places
ofworship.
We have started to work with|| ||||Bridges for communities
charity on this project, with the aim of|| ||||them taking ownership
ofthis project and developing
itfurther.|| ||||BSChas continued
to support the team delivering
The Space—|| ||||which is a permanent
reflective space in a Secondary school
in|| ||||Shireham pton.|| ||||We supported
St.Francis church,
Bedminster as they hosted their|| ||||second Christmas
workshop,
and as they prepared
to deliver|| ||||Easter Space.|| ||||We have continued
to have a regular online presence on|| ||||Facebook and have started a Youtube channel.|| ||||During
lockdown —all of our support went online. We continued|to| ||||encourage
and support churches to connect with their local|| ||||schools during
lock down.
This included

videos, and Assembly
video examples.|| ||||During
lockdown we worked
in partnership
with 'Prayer Spaces|in| ||||School' to produce a resource called 'Transition
space' for year|6| ||||leavers.
We encouraged
churches to offer this resource to their|| ||||local schools.
This was used across Bristol and beyond.|| ||||Networking,
connecting
and signposting,
and promoting
other|| ||||organisations/opportunities/resources
to enable an increase
in|| ||||good Chdistian
engagement/support
with schools.|| ||||We facilitated churches
offering Faraday institute workshops
to|| ||||their local schools for Janua
2020.|| ||||~
We have continued
to deepen our strategic connections
with| |---|---|---|---| ||||various organisations/networks
including:
Bristol Diocese; Muller| ||||Foundation;
Together4Bristol;
Christ Church
Clifton; Alma| ||||Church;
BBAchurch; TLG/Make
Lunch; Prayer Spaces in| ||||Schools; Youth Workers
Forum, God and the big bang, and the| ||||Faraday
Institute.
We have been able to work in partnership
with| ||||these organisations/networks
when appropriate
and helpful.
We| ||||have also made good connections
with Trinity college and Bristol| ||||Baptist college and we had training sessions booked
in the diary| ||||for summer 2020. These were unfortunately
cancelled due to| ||||Covid-19.| ||||~
We had several meetings
with key people
in the City about how to| ||||get churches
in the Bristol area to connect more with Secondary| ||||schools.
We have been involved
with forming ajoint initiative
with| ||||the Bristol Youth Workers Forum.| ||||~
We have continued
to take an active part in the Diocese| ||||mentoring/coaching
scheme —for churches
who want to receive| ||||coaching about how to connect with their local school —Liz and| ||||Jane are named coaches for churches
in 2deaneries
in Bristol.| |Brief statement||ofthe|BSCwas fortunate
to receive initial seed funding
from a number oftrusts| |charity's|policy|on reserves|and individuals
when
itwas formed
in 2015.| ||||However, BSCremains
reliant each year on financial
gifts from| ||||individuals,
trusts and churches
within
Bristol which can be one-off,| ||||ongoing or fora limited period oftime. Given this dependency,
the| ||||trustees
believe
it appropriate
to target reserves at approximately
six| ||||months ofongoing
expenditure
plus the budgeted
deficit forthe next year| ||||before new fundraising.
The reserves at31"August 2020 were f23,900The projected| ||||expenditure
and deficit for 2020/21 before new fundraising
were F29,000| ||||and F11,000 respectively
giving a reserves target off25,500. Reserves| ||||therefore
represented
94'/o oftarget.| ||||The trustees consider this level ofreserves reasonable
but are actively| ||||seeking
new sources of income
in order to reduce the 2020/21 budgeted| ||||deficit.| ||||BSCstarted the year with projected expenditure
exceeding
pledged
income byf9,300. We are very grateful to God for the E7,300of| ||||additional
gifts received from individuals
following the appeal
in autumn| ||||2019and for the ongoing support
from supporters
and the PCC ofChrist| ||||Church Clifton.
Total cash receipts were up 25'lo on 2018/19. We did| ||||not receive any trust grants.| |Financial|performance||Together with a small reduction
in budgeted
activity during the COVID
crisis, we were able to break even
in the year on a management| ||||accounts accruals basis.
The attached accounts, prepared
on a cash| ||||basis, show a deficit ofE2,900as last year there were accruals ofE3,300| ||||which have not repeated
this year.| ||||BSChas been able to engage Jane Gillis and Liz Ogborne,
our
development
workers,
on an 'as needed' basis as they continue the work| ||||ofBSC. Total expenditure,
on an accruals basis, was up 10'/o compared| ||||with 2018/19.| |TAR|||| |~ - ..
