## 12 MONTHS AT BILTON 

We kicked off the year in style with a delightful late Easter Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) program in mid-April. This wonderful event set the stage for our annual fun day in June 2024, which was graciously supported by Jarrow Festival and Community@Bilton. We celebrated our community roots with over 200 attendees, witnessing countless joyful faces. A special thank you goes to C@B for successfully hosting and leading Taunton’s Bar over the past year. 

Furthermore, we organized wellbeing events facilitated by Williby Roc CIC. These targeted gatherings, coordinated through NGN, brought together men and women on two separate occasions, offering a range of holistic services while promoting CO and PSR registration for new clients and enhancing the wellbeing of all participants. 

After an incredible six weeks, our HAF project filled over 500 spaces, leading us into September, where we began the revitalization of Bilton and Porlock Gardens. 

Witnessing over 150 participants from the Sage Foundation across Bilton and Porlock was truly an incredible experience – so much was accomplished! It was inspiring to see how engaged all our volunteers were and how they facilitated the arrival of all these wonderful people taking part in our revamp which was funded by TNL. 

We organized a variety of events, including the new release by local artist Sarah Collins, fundraising efforts by boxing clubs for new transportation, and Dean James music nights to support the men's club. 

We take great joy in hosting seasonal events. This year, we celebrated Halloween in both Bilton and Porlock, taking full advantage of our new outdoor space. The festivities culminated in a disco at Bilton, following a fantastic afternoon of activities in Porlock, thanks to our volunteers' decorations. 

As the year wrapped up, we held Christmas meals and parties for all age groups, ensuring no one felt left out. We served a three-course meal to 60 people, complete with live entertainment, and the children concluded the week with a disco hosted by the youth club. 

The New Year kicked off with a successful services day, where we invited various organisations from the North East to connect with local residents about available services, supported and funded by NGN. 

Additionally, we established the Wonderful Dandelion Partnership, uniting five remarkable local organizations to create something unique and impactful for Jarrow and the surrounding area, fostering communication and sharing of knowledge and wisdom.

CR8 SPACE IMPROVEMENTS 

This two-year project is designed to enhance community engagement, mitigate social isolation, and raise awareness of carbon monoxide safety. A key objective is to facilitate registrations for the Priority Services Register. The funding has been instrumental in strengthening Bilton Hall's position as a community hub. In collaboration with Northern Gas Networks, we have been recognised as a "centre for warmth" and are committed to expanding our services over the next 12 months. Our accomplishments over the past year include the establishment of a weekly men's group, a foraging and walking group, and a parent-led cooking program for homeschooled families. Additionally, we successfully organised three significant information networking and well-being events. With over 100 people attending each of these events.

## PORLOCK GARDENS 

Porlock Thrives Year After Year Thanks to Dedicated Volunteers The remarkable growth of Porlock is due to the unwavering commitment of our dedicated volunteers, led by Lise, the garden coordinator. They work tirelessly, come rain or shine, to create a truly community-driven space for residents and the local community. With events planned to commemorate the first anniversary of our official opening, we eagerly anticipate the upcoming celebrations! 

## GREEN HUBS AT PORLOCK

There are 11 community plots maintained by residents, and she collaborates with organisations such as SAGE Foundation, Groundwork, Community Payback, and more to create an incredible space for everyone. 



## NORTHERN GAS NETOWRK CENTRE FOR WARMTH 

ANNUAL REVIEW 

## ACHIEVEMENTS 

As part of our initiative, we aimed to educate the community about Carbon Monoxide, its associated risks, and to enroll members in the Priority Register. The goal of being a ‘centre for warmth’ was to foster an environment that supported individuals by organizing community-driven events and activities to combat social isolation, while also creating new sessions across our locations. 

Here are some of the key milestones we reached: 

- **Direct Beneficiaries:** 2,010 

- **PSR Referrals:** 35 

- **PSR Awareness (Social Media):** 3,951 

- **CO Alarms Distributed:** 61 

- **Garden Activities Attendees:** 138 

- **Reduced Isolation Activities:** 189 

- **Energy Advice Sessions:** 95 

- **Income Maximization Support:** 88 

- **Kitchen Volunteers:** 10 

In addition to these goals, we also provided one-on-one support to the community through our drop-in sessions. From April to March 2025, we successfully submitted 88 applications to the Greggs Foundation for personal support, amounting to £18,249 in assistance.  with 49 people referred to WISE and Green Doctor - other support  via food banks and sim card allocation. 

Over the past year, our centre faced significant challenges without the backing of Northern Gas Network, and the future looked uncertain. However, their support enabled us to address a major water leak, secure funding for solar energy, and increase our reserves by covering utility costs. The monumental impact of this assistance has been profound, continuing to providing our volunteers with a sense of belonging and purpose. This kind of support translates to approximately £115,395 in community contributions annually. Our volunteers are truly invaluable. 

Throughout the year, we hosted three information-sharing networking events, four music fundraising events, and two fun days, in addition to numerous smaller weekly activities we trailed. Looking ahead, we plan to expand our offerings based on community requests. 

## FUTURE TARGETS 

To focus on Carbon Monoxide awareness of PSR referral this year - and to repeat as above with a lot more social media presence and lots more FREE FOOD on the menu. AS we found that food attracts people and we can offer more support. 

Line Dancing - Yoga - Drawing and more wellbeing events are what have been requested in general and implementing this from April 2025.

**BILTON HALL COMMUNITY TRUST CIO INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES** 

For the year ended 31 March 2025 

I report on the financial statements of Bilton Hall Community Trust CIO for the year ended 

31 March 2025, which are set on the below pages. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.  The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2022 and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 

- To follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity 

- Commission (under S145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and 

- To state whether particular matters have come to my attention 

## **Basis of Independents examiner’s statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- The accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- The accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- The accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and 

- content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an inde examination 

Have not been met; or 

- To which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper 

   - understanding of the accounts to be reached
