benefit of the community of users in Cricklewood through educational and cultural
advancement by ralsing awareness and fundraising to complete the buildlng of

organlsatlons and buslnesses that have supported FOCL
COMMUNITY NEED
The Frlends of Crlcklewood Library IFOCLI exists to support the community In the
London Borough of Brent. In north west London. The library is located In a much
visited area due to belng adjacent to Gladstone Park; a single bus route Is the only
transport within 15 minutes of the library. The area continues to grow. while the profile
of resldents Is one of the most diverse communltles In London. The nelghbourhood
Includes a hlgh number of people dependent on benefits and who also have Ilmlted
educational. leaming and cultural opportunities. Older people and young families in
particular are identified as needing a place to meet and learn, through data and from
recorded information from the user groups themselves.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The lease for the buildlng was signed on 11 July 2019. the culmination of an enormous
amount of work slnce the library was closed in 2011 and 90 years after a library flrst
opened on the same slte. FOCL grew out of the communty's wish to keep a Ilbrary in
the area and the process leading to the lease being signed also led to ongoing
dlscusslon about how the library could offer more of what the communtty wanted, as a
social hub. FOCL has now buift stronger links with the council library service. the other
Brent communlty Ilbraries and the Communlty Managed Libraries National Peer
Ne￿ork. of whlch the FOCL chair is a founding Trustee.
FOCL has overcome wide ranglng Issues with the structure of the building. to ensure
that the community got the m05t out of the resource. The process of managing the
problems, the buildlng work and legal matters. has been demandlng In terms of time
and learnSng, a really steep learnlng curve. There are also ongoing issues regarding
the constructlon and maintenance of the bulldlng and the provlslon of utllltles, whlch
we are worklng wlth our landlord to resolve.
Our actlvltles over the year were severely impacted by COVID19. and our actlvltSes
restricted to:
Onllne fundralsing
Recruiting volunteers and sendlng out newsletters
Soclally dlstanced volunteerlng on preparing the buildlng for opening
Participatlon In Brent 2020 London 8orough of Culture observing social
distanclng
Updating of pollcles end procedures In preparatlon for openlng
Sourcing and implementing a library management system appropriate for our
needs as a community Ilbrary
TRAINING AND CAPACITY BUILDING
FOCL Is aware of the necessty of building the capacty of the group in tenns of skills
for running a business. and takes opportunities to increase and share knowledge and
skills within the group. The chair is a member of the Community Managed Peer
Llbraries group. Much of our planned prograTnme was pushed into the next flnanclal
year due to Covid-19.

COVID-19 IMPACT STATEMENT
The pandemic put a halt to all of our activities for at least 14 months. as mentloned
elsewhere in thi5 document. Because we were not trading before the pandemic
struck, we had little in the way of financial commitments in terms of paying for utilities
and servlces. we were not financially impacted too severely. However. our income
generation projections were obviously affected and all of our plans for opening and
service provislon were cancelled. Because we were not trading at the tlme the
pandemic struck, we were also mostly Ineligible to receive any of the government
funding which was on offer at the time.
FUNDRAISING
Raising money was a key focus for the charlty, in order to complete the library building
and get the library open for the community. Fundraislng activity in the community
continued, although affected by delays in completing the bullding works followed by
the impact of COVID-19.
We beneflted from contributSons from LB Brent's NCIL funding stream of £40.025
towards finishing the building. Because of delays due to Covid 19 we were given
permission to carry this funding forward into the next financial year. We also benefited
from a donation of £5000 from Bernard Sunley Charitable Foundation to pay for the
acoustic screen between the activity room and meeting rooms. which will allow us to
hire the spaces out individually, thus maximising our income.
We also started systematlcally claiming Gift Aid on sm811 donations through KindLlnk,
and gained many regular small donations on the same platform.
We increased our number of regular small donations Lssing the Vlrgln Money Giving
platform.
FOCL appreciates the support of the community and funders to make the most of all
funding committed to the library.
COMMUNI￿ ACTIVITIES
Community actlvltles were severety curtailed by the advent of Covid 19 in March 2020
and the resulting regulations preventlng in person meetings.
We offered online training Zoom for members of the community who found using
technology challenging. Ten volunteers signed up to be online buddies in this
programme.

Over the summer of 2020 the library opened for the public to see the slte-specific
installation created by artist Brian Griffiths , and part of Brent 2020 London Borough
of Culture. COVID measures were observed.
We were forced to cancel our annual Carol Singing in December, and were unable to
run most activitles we had planned. Two notable exceptions were Cricklereaders
Book Group and Cricklewood's Got Talent online talent show.
Cricklereaders started in February 2021 and was online initially before moving to in
person rneetings later In the year. SIX local book enthusiasts read a donated book,
Hope Nlcely's Lessons for Life by Caroline Day and met on Zoom to discuss IL The
group has since grown to 10 members.
In January 2021. we staged an online talent show for local people. which again ran on
Zoom. Several volunteers were involved in the planning and organisation of this
event. and 5 local children performed In a varlety of ways - singing. dancing. playing
an instrument. We raised some money for the library through this activity too.
Our volunteer base grew over the period from 122 to 167. Volunteer training was put
on hold due to the impossibility of meeting face to face, but fortunately the funding
from Edward HaNist for this purpose was allowed to be carried over for another year.
COMMUNICATIONS AND FUNDRAISING
The communications team was strengthened by the arrlval of a new volunteer-
Princess Francis - who took on responsibility for management of our Facebook and
nstagram accounts. She has increased our following and engagement on both
platforms.
We started using Three Rings to manage our volunteers onllne and the painting of the
library and assembly of the shelves and other practical work was achieved using this
timetabling device.
We also started systernatically claiming Gift Aid on small donations through KindLink.
and gained many regular small donations on the same plarform.
The pop up librarles at Wlllesden Green station and Cricklewood station were closed
by TFL due to infection concerns. FOCL has continued to provide books to the
community through the local Mutual Aid group and work with other charities.

BUILDING AND LEGAL
The contractors finished most of the work on the building In January 2020. With the
support of Hub Architects works were completed by the summer 2020. The group
Let'g Palnt the Library events we had planned for the spring of 2020 could not take
place. Instead, work to finish the cosmetic work (installing sills and painting walls etc)
didn't start until January 2021, when a small team of three volunteers painted the
building in 3 daily shifts over several months. Each volunteer worked alone and the
building was ventilated between shifts.
In parallel with this, our volunteer librarian worked tirelessly on the catalogulng and
sorting of our book stock on a weekly basis.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
There were no premises or staff during the financial year 2020- 21 and thus no need
to set aside reserves formally. Going forward, the policy is to ensure we have
sufficient funds in the bank to cover all commitments prlor to contracts belng signed
and renovation work commencing. In addttion, we aim to keep a contingency fund of
£10,000 in case of any cost overruns and unforeseen expenses prior to the library
opening, as well as three months general running costs, Includlng staff costs as
required. We wlll revlew thls when the Covid-19 situation looks to be resolved and our
operational situation will be clearer.
In light of this situation, we have received just over £5,000 in sm811 donations from our
various donation channels. Alongside the donations from NCIL and Bernard Sunley to
finish the building & have an acoustic screen. we were able to pay for most of the
running and administrative costs for the library whlle keeping reasonable control of
our cash balance of £20,942 by the end of the year but with liabilities due in the next
financial year. We had a positive net income of £44,2351 mostly NCIL income) which
we carried forward to spend next financial year in finishing the building.
As mentioned previously, COVID-19 restrictions have severely hampered our ability to
open and operate the library and thus hirelaccrue staff and volunteers this year. As
such thls has put our finances in a perilous position due to the need to ensure running
costs such as utilities could be paid for despite not being able to open the library and
generate Income.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
In the year 2021- 2022 the focus is on planning to offer as full a range of seNices as
posslble, wlthln the constralnts of the contlnulng pandemlc. A programme of events

and activities is in development and funds are being sought to cover costs of
activities which benefit specific sections of the community targeting groups at rlsk of
exclusion. FOCL will continue to consult the local community and work in partnership
with other community groups to provide the servlces needed by the community.
Priorities will include.. increasing opportunities for families with young children.
reducing social isolationlstrategies for wellbeing; promoting healthy lrfestyies through
physlcal activity and diet; building communlty cohesion through shared actlvities. We
continue to develop relationships with community groups, residents associations, art
organisations, Brent Council and public health organisations.
The charity continues to aim to generate income for the operational costs of the
Ilbrary, continuously reviewing sources of Income and expenditure and buildlng
sustainability. In addition to hiring out the premises to groups and individuals
providing services which benefit the community. the library will generate income
through room hire. We have 5evera5 interested potential hirers and are awaiting the
lifting of Covid regulations In order to commence.
The charlty will continue to develop Trustee skills and engage with a wider age range
and increase diversity to be representstive of the community.
