ANNUAL REPORT 2023 (Jan 2023 to Dec 2023)
2023 – Maintaining BCCC’s Momentum
2022, BCCC’s first full year of operation due largely to the pandemic, showed how vital a service BCCC was providing. 2023 built on that momentum with increases in sessions, referral numbers and children who were supported. BCCC couldn’t support all referrals (some required a Supervised Contact Centre) but assisted in other ways.
Using current resources BCCC created a digital newspaper & bus marketing campaign plus advertising media designs. Whilst the newspaper campaign did not work so well, alternative campaigns will run in 2024. BCCC also took an opportunity to rebrand itself, changing logo’s, utilising colour, providing Sweatshirts with new logo and volunteer’s name, creating a sense of teamwork.
Our ICT Coordinator managed and supported the migration of data to cloud storage, migration from GSuite to Microsoft and assisted with plans for a new website due in 2024, amongst other valued tasks.
Joining our Management Team, two younger members (university students) brought alternative ways of thinking and a richness of ideas adding to BCCC’s tapestry of knowledge and expertise. Becoming session Team Leaders is part of their training.
Senior leadership, all volunteers, continue to perform outstandingly, including a successful bid to fully fund BCCC for the next three years.
