in relation to those purposes for
the public benefit, in particular,
the activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|We are one of three partners in the hugely successful
Bentswood Hub. This is now where the vast majority of the
activities are carried out and includes: a food larder using
supermarket waste to support struggling residents, weekly
drop-ins with supportive agencies such as CAB, youth
groups, Sunday roasts for isolated older people. In addition
the BCP supports community events| |Statement confirming whether

achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to the
circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a whole.|Para 1.20|A good part of the year was affected by tail end
of the Covid pandemic and its restrictions.
Nonetheless, as per the summary above, the
BCP has been successful in supporting the
delivery of its aims and objectives.
The joint working with two key partners to
support the Hub has been particularly exciting
and effective and we are very grateful to Clarion
Futures for their moral and financial support and
to Sussex Clubs for Young People for facilitating
things like the property lease and employment of
the Development Officer.
The residents appear to be hugely appreciative,
as demonstrated by the high level of usage and
volunteering, and meaningful support has been
given to vulnerable individuals that has made a
positive impact on their lives and welfare| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: Achievements against objectives set Para 1.41 Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set Para 1.41 Investment performance against objectives Para 1.41 Other ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s financial
position at the end of the period|Para 1.21|We are in a good financial position but it should
be noted that outstanding invoices to cover costs
incurred delivering projects amount to over £15k
and so our specific reserves are thus inflated| |Statement explaining the policy
for holding reserves stating why
they are held|Para 1.22|We keep fixed outgoings to an absolute minimum
and therefore have virtually no formal need for
reserves. However, bearing in mind the
comment above, we try to hold sufficient funds to
ensure key projects like youth support can be
maintained during the year| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|See CC16a| |Reasons for holding zero
