The Bentswood Community Partnership Working for a better future
Trustees Annual Report to August 31st 2020 – This being our 4[th] year of operations
Officers:-
Chairman: Councillor Stephen Hillier Treasurer: Michael McNally Secretary: Mrs Joyce Sharma
We are a local community based charity which acts as an ‘umbrella’ and resource body for local activities in the Bentswood area of Haywards Heath, an area with pockets of high deprivation. This notwithstanding that Haywards Heath is among the most prosperous towns in the UK.
The period being reported here, has seen us having to heavily curtail our activities due simply to the Covid19 pandemic. This was especially so as we had to cancel our local Fun Day event which has become one of the mainstays of our annual activities.
This said we have been able to continue and expand oud our youth provision– with the required safeguards in place.
Activities
In the time that BCP has been a registered charity, we have continued to build upon the groundwork and links formed previously.
We have in the period which this report and accounts cover been actively engaged in community development, notwithstanding C19 restrictions. Our continued desire is still to concentrate on fewer activities in order to better steward the resources which we have. The following is a brief summary of our activities for the period:
-
Mental Health of all residents. This has become of increasing importance, especially in the latter half of this years’ range of activities. Sufficiently so, that Mental Health provision has required additional funding to meet the increasing need for what we are providing.
-
We have recently been involved in the acquisition of a local Community Café, formerly run by a local church. This now serves as a ‘fully fledged’ Community Hub. We have great future plans for the uses of this facility.
-
Youth Events – including outreach work with ‘challenging’ young people. Youth Dance classes; Friday Night clubs, which have had a number of issues requiring additional resources. This being a ‘face to face’ activity has required additional resources,
Achievements
BCP have managed to raise its profile by all of the above activities. The mental health courses as well as some of the other work undertaken in conjunction with us, has helped to start to address issues such as social isolation, single parent family struggles. Additionally we are increasingly becoming the ‘go to’ body to move or resolve situations on the estate.

Financial Review
As at the end of this report period, we as a charity held of £29.7k in our bank. This is a significant increase over last years’ end of year funds in hand. This is explained by the curtailment of some of our activities for which we had received prior funding grants. The allocation of all funds received, is as per financial statement attached herewith. As you will see the entire aforementioned sum is accounted for within the various projects and activities outlined above. We did not at the time of this report have any outstanding debts to cover. For and on behalf of the trustees
