The
Bentswood Community Partnership Working for a better future
Trustees Annual Report to August 31st 2021 This being our 5th 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
All trustees live locally within the Bentswood area, with the recruitment of any new trustee based upon (a) expertise and (b) their involvement within the local community.
It should though be noted that our activities have this year been greatly reduced due to the pandemic and concomitant lockdowns.
Activities & Achievements As mentioned above we been severely restricted in what we have been able to provide this financial year.
We have though, as far as possible, in the period covered, been actively engaged in community development. The following is a brief summary of our achievements in 2020 -2021:
-
The running and development of the old Saltworx Café previously run by a local church and is now run by SCYP under “The Hub” banner which best describes its function. BCP is one of three key partners, the others being SCYP (Sussex Clubs for Young People) who provide the management expertise, and Clarion Futures who have provided considerable funding. This was also with the aid of various grants and now offers a whole range of services, most notably a food waste avoidance project called “The Larder”, but also sessions for young people, new parents, digital awareness amongst others.
-
Mental Health awareness - as with so much, this was impacted by Covid but the key volunteers continued to provide support to local people and work on post-pandemic plans
-
Youth Events – including outreach work with ‘challenging’ young people and delivered by SCYP. Whilst out of lockdown this would include football sessions and the Friday Night clubs. During lockdown, SCYP provided virtual clubs and as restrictions eased, small socially distances onsite sessions.
Summary: BCP has retained its profile by all of the above activities despite Covid-19. The acquisition of The Hub has taken the support being provided to the community to a new level and hopefully the post-pandemic world will see even more activity to support the residents in this relatively deprived estate.
Financial Review As at the end of this report period, we as a charity held of £36.7k in our bank. The allocation of this money 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.
