Brinkburn CIO

Where we came from

Brinkburn’s precursor until 1977 operated as a six night a week youth club at Prince Edward Road in an old school. Offering activities like weight training, judo, table tennis, boxing, and a motorcycle club. Facilities included a snooker room, coffee bar, lounge, TV lounge, gym / dance hall and 2 table tennis rooms. The membership came mainly from Cleadon Park, Harton Moor and Horsley Hill Estates. Following a fire in 1977 Mollie and Fred Robson successfully lobbied the Headmaster allowing the club to move to the main hall of Brinkburn School with the use of the gym one night a week.

This was a temporary measure until the new Community Centre was built. Opened by the actor Bill Maynard in 1979 as Brinkburn Community Association. Brinkburn operated as a shared use facility with Brinkburn Comprehensive School which in turn became South Shields Community School until the school moved to new premises in 2011. The Community Association was run by an independent Management Committee supported by the Local Authority.

New beginnings

In 2017 the three founding Trustees, Colin Bourdiec, Jim Foreman and Penney Wilkinson established Brinkburn CIO as a Charity. They then began the process of asset transfer which would result in Brinkburn CIO achieving independence from the Local Authority and sole responsibility for all the running costs.

Today the expanded Community Centre building houses a Committee Room, a Community Hall, Activities Room, Coffee Bar, Swimming Pool, Sports Gym, Easi-line Gym, Theatre Hall and Stage, Boxing Gym, Large Kitchen, Conference Room, Training / Meeting / Multi Use Rooms, Smaller Offices and Changing Rooms. The Organisation is managed by Jean Copp an experienced Community Facilities Manager.

A bright future

Brinkburn CIO looks forward to a bright future and we will embrace the challenges ahead as we look to develop our position In the Heart of Our Community providing Public Benefit for the residents of South Tyneside and beyond.

Brinkburn plays a critical role in our community, and we are all determined to see the organisation thrive and go from strength to strength. Today our Charity is the culmination of many years of efforts, hopes and dreams of countless members, volunteers, and staff.

Achievements and performance

Brinkburn CIO’s sixth year of operations began in continuing uncertainty on 1[st] April 2022 as we navigate the aftermath of the Coronavirus Pandemic. The operating environment continues to be extremely challenging with the Charity adjusting to the loss of groups and the genuine hardship our members are facing and our finances have been adversely affected by the difficult circumstances.

Our Management, Trustees & Volunteers continue to perform admirably in delivering our services.

Brinkburn’s significant expenditure remains due to Staffing costs and Pool Operations & Maintenance. Sadly, the fabric of our building has further deteriorated since the previous report, The extensive damage caused by Storm Arwen has not been repaired by our landlords, and we have seen increasing problems with aging plant equipment over the last several years.

We were pleased to welcome Hindu Nari Sangh Classical Dance Group, Stanhope Primary and Ridgeway Junior to our family.

Once again, the Trustees would like to present our thanks to our Staff who have worked admirably throughout a very disjointed year and have offered much appreciated flexibility. The Board would also like to offer their continuing grateful thanks to those who on a voluntary basis continue to go above and beyond to look after our Community Centre. Ian Foord has and continues to provide extensive voluntary services which the Charity is extremely grateful for.

Similarly, we express our appreciation to our Councillors, - Cllrs Foreman, Hay, Bell & Dixon, for their active work to highlight the needs of the Charity and our place in the Heart of our Community with the Local Authority.

Thanks to donations received we have continued to refurbish and improve facilities. Our Training & Development Centre refurbishment is complete, and we have also refurbished our changing facilities. The Committee Room near the main entrance has been completely refurbished bringing in in line with our modern aesthetic in our new and improved areas.

Financial review

The Charities financial position is outlined in the following financial statements. Based on actual incurred expenditure the Trustees have determined that Brinkburn CIO will have sufficient reserves to cover our next years running costs providing the Financial Recovery Plan remains on track.

Brinkburn is continuing on its improvement journey, progress is not always as rapid as we would prefer but our financial situation is steadily improving.

Comprehensive financial information is made available to the Trustees monthly allowing them to discharge their duties more effectively, this is enabled by our comprehensive digital accounting platform which continues to perform well, meeting the needs of the organisation. Reviewing income for this period shows pleasing progress compared to previous years.

Our Financial Recovery Plan continues despite numerous disruptions over the last several years.

Pleasingly cash reserves have increased. Energy & Utility accruals remain a source of concern, and the Trustees look forward to working with the local authority to resolve the underlying issues to ascertain the true running cost of the building & swimming pool when repaired and operating efficiently.

Brinkburn has reported income of £193,020 and expenditure of £198,069 during 2022/23 resulting in an operating loss of £4,958 which will be covered from our reserves. These figures represent a marked improvement on previous periods, especially considering the difficult environment, as we have received no support from either the government or via grant income in this period.

As the Financial Recovery Plan progresses, we expect next year’s performance to be poorer, before seeing improvements as fundamental operating changes are embedded and financial targets met.

Having made efficiency changes regarding building opening hours we will continue to build volume as a key priority for the next financial year, whilst minimising expenditure on staffing.

Trading during the next financial year will see if the robust measures implemented by the Trustees and the delayed Financial Recovery Plan continue to perform as anticipated.

The Trustees and Management recognise that there is still significant work yet to be done, and difficult times ahead but believe that careful management and oversight will bring about the results needed to ensure sustainability.

Plans for the future

The Trustees are pleased to report that there continues to be considerable interest in our facilities from new users. Visitors continue to be impressed by our ethos and atmosphere and the standard of our refurbished facilities.

Maintaining and improving our public areas will continue to be the focus of our refurbishment works as we strive to offer the best possible facilities to our local community within our resources.

The Trustees will consider the merits of adopting an online booking system for the management of our facilities. Brinkburn will continue to develop and expand its marketing plan, focusing on developing and expanding core business and seeking to attract new users.

Our long overdue Annual General Meeting will be held as soon as we have the capacity to do so, we have several documents requiring approval by the membership and look forward to welcoming our members to share and review our progress to date.

We have reached out to South Tyneside Council to seek resolution over outstanding works and accruals, which after extended delays, we hope to see progressed in the next financial period. This remains an area of significant concern to the organisation.

Management and Trustees will continue to analyse financial reports and monitor progress against the Financial Recovery Plan. We are determined to address all financial issues previously raised and will conduct regular reviews to ensure that business targets are being met. We anticipate that the next few financial years will be difficult, with normal operations remaining some way off. Brinkburn as ever will adapt and survive to operate and thrive in the changing environment around us.

The Trustees would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate our Board Adviser Cllr Pat Hay on her ongoing appointment as Mayor of South Tyneside and to express our pride in our Centre Manager Jean Copp who continues with her appointment as Mayoress of South Tyneside.

Your Trustees will endeavour to meet any challenges as they arise as we continue our work to ensure Brinkburn remains a sustainable and viable resource firmly embedded In the Heart of Our Community.
