CHAIRS REPORT
What a year! 2024/25 brought change, challenges and curveballs—but in true BSCP spirit, our amazing staff, volunteers and trustees met them with energy and heart. It’s my first year as Chair, and stepping into Hilary Workman’s shoes has been no small task. Her legacy is inspiring, and I’m doing my best to keep pace!
The headline? The launch of Berries Community Café in April 2024—months of dreaming, planning and fundraising brought it to life. It’s been a huge step, full of learning and adapting. Now, we’re proud to offer a warm, welcoming space with home-cooked food, opportunities to socialise, learn, volunteer and connect. It’s quickly become a true community hub, with local partners also on site offering support and services.
We’re hugely grateful to the Reaching Communities Lottery Fund for their £228,000 grant over three years, and to NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly and Volunteer Cornwall for funding hub activities like the Pain Café, Stroke Support Group, Cuppa Companions and Craft & Wellbeing workshops. And to the Bude and Stratton community—thank you for embracing Berries with such warmth and enthusiasm. You’ve made all the difference
.
We said goodbye to David Mitchell, our long-serving caretaker, and Vika Bundy, our dynamic Volunteer & Events Coordinator. We wish them both well. We’ve also welcomed some brilliant new faces: Emma Edwards, our café chef, a previous volunteer brings warmth and creativity; Kate Stark joins as Volunteer Coordinator with fresh ideas; Angus de Lisle Bush, a long-time volunteer, now takes on the caretaker role; and Cleo Stanley has stepped up as our first-ever Marketing Officer—helping raise BSCP’s profile.
Neetside Community Centre remains a trusted, well-used space for over 50 charities, groups and hirers. Huge thanks to Debby and Amanda for keeping both sites running smoothly, and to Miranda, whose passion and local connections give BSCP a strong voice and real influence.
Our Trustees deserve a big shout-out too—for their hands-on support, event help and everyday involvement. Their commitment keeps BSCP grounded and growing.
All in all, I’m proud—and humbled—to be part of this vibrant, ever-evolving project. The future’s bright.
