Activities during the year
Context
Broomhill Community Trusl IBCTI was established as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation ICIOI in
January 2018. Between January 2018 and September 2022 6CToperated to progress the development
of the library building and its gardens towards a future sustainable cornmunity hub.
The library service in Bri>omhill was co-delivered by agreement between Sheffield City Council ISCCI
and Broomhill CommLAnity Library IBCLI Limited from September 2014 until September 2022. when
Broomhill Community Trust IBCTI entered bnto agreement with Sheffield City Council to run the library.
The agreement with SCC Library Services operates in accordance with a Memorandurn of
Understanding IMOUI. The library continues to be staffed entirely by volunteers whilst the building
and its gardens are owned by the local authority. Volunteers maintain the garden5 around the
building.
Achievements and Current Operating Position
Until September 2022 BCT income came from grallts. donations and fundraising events such as the
Broomhill Festival. We also put on standalone events for the Queen's Platinum jubilee and Heritage
Open Days.
Since October. BCT income has included donations from book sales. printing charges and rental
income. BCT also benefitted from the assets transfer when BCL ceased trading.
BCT successfully applied for a SCC Ward Pot grant for a skip so that the rear garden could be cleared
of debris which remained after the garden wall was rebuilt.
8CT was awarded a LAC grant of £3(X) towards the costs of the Queens Jubilee celebrations. These
included a very successful Jubilee Tea party in the libiary garden.
BCT was also awarded a £4￿ grant from Waitrose to fund environmental activities in the garden.
M05t of the grant has been spent on two raised beds whTrch will be used to grow vegetable5. This grant
was received after 31 December 2022.
In April Age UK carried out a preliminary audit of the library as a dementia inclusive space. Two of our
volunteers visited Sandal Library in Wakefield. which is recognised as the leading dementia friendly
library in the locality. In December. following recommendations from the audit and the visit to
Wakefield we have rearranged part of the Adult library. upgraded the signage and Pvfchased new
noticeboards. We now have more spaces and locations for people to sit in the library and have recently
started to offer hot drinks as part of our provision as a designated wam) space in the city, thanks to a
successful application for a wam spaces grant.. We are working towards increasing our offer of
Reading Well books and we will shortly be making contact with socal doctors, surgeries to advertise
our provision.

Governance
Since September 2022 we have reviewed and revised all of the 8CT policies. We have also established
new Sub-groups for various aspects of the Trust. for example 3 Communications Group, Volunteer
Management Group and Events & Activities Group. These new Broup$ are working alongside the
existing Building Developmeni and Fundraising Groups. Day to day running of the library is now
overseen by rhe Library Management Group. whith is composed of the Session Coordinators and two
trustees. Three trustees took part in the Heritage Compass training programme. which was a 51X
module programme funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and delivered via Zoom. Its focus was on
Finance. Audience Development. Governance and Business Planning. The trustees will cascade the
training to the other trustees shortlv_
Building and Garden Oevelopment
Now that the Pocket Park has been completed we have had an interpretation board erected at the
side of the drNe in the Pocket Park. explaining the background to the development of the garden and
the species that have been chosen. in line with choices made by Percy Cane in other designs. The sign
advertising the Pocket Park was put back in place at the top of the drive. having been knocked off
when a van hit the pillar on which it was situated.
Very little has happened in terms of progressing the building plans this year. although all the trustees
met with the architects in December 2022. The meeting was helpful because it brought all the trustees
up to speed with the project and alternatTrve solutions were discussed to some of the i55ues raised bv
the council's planning department ènd concerns raised by some of the trustees.
A Project Enquiry was submitted to the National Lottery Heritage Fund in April, and we were invited
to have a conversation with one of the NLHF staff which took place in January 2022. This provided
useful pointers lor items and activitie5 that the NLHF will and will noi fund, and how to put together
a credible bid for funding. It is likely that we shall work on a bid for fundinE to make BCT more resilient
a5 a prectjrsor to bidding for funding to adapt and improve the building and the garden.
Towards the end of December railings and gates were installed at the side of the building to discourage
antisocial behaviour.
Events and activities
BCT took part in the Broomhill Festival, offering activities for children and a local history walk in June.
We also participated in the Heritage Open Days in September and also the Big Green week. Following
the huge expression of interest in craft activities for adults in the Heritage Open Days we have now
started to offer Crafternoons for adults on a monthly ba5i5_ We also have a regular weekly bridge club
and chess clL&b in the library_ Our weekly term time activities for children continue. with Babytime and
Tea, Talk and Tots which attracts speakers of other languages who come to socialise and meet other5
with small children_ Family Fun sessions on Friday afternoons are offered to families with older
children with craft5. gèmes ènd Lego on offer.
Funding
Following the closure of BCL the tompany's assets and liabilities were transferred to Bct under a
formal agreefflent. This included all of the equipment as well a5 the financial assets which have been
placed in a designated fund to pay for improvements to the library stock. display5 etc.
We have not yet received the final payment from the estate oi one of our volunteers who sadly passed
away in 2020.

The charity's poliry on reserves
As at 31 December 2022 8CT had free reserves (general fund cashl of £8.545. The minimurn reserve
was increased to £1.(￿. which is in line with the new level of annual commitments.
Looking to the future
Following on from the conversation with the Heritage Lottery Fund our next steps are to consider our
P051tion and to put together a bid for funding, most likely for resilience work for BCT initially prior to
working on a bid for funding the building and garden development.
Although there is no Bfoomhill Festival planned this year, BCT will organise some events for
community engagement and for fund raising. We plan to take part in the Sheffield Envirorbment Week
in lune afid the Heritage Open Days in September.
SCC funding arrangements for all Sheffield Libraries ore still undef review (the details are due to be
revealed shortly) and the outcome will inform futufe plans to develop the library building and Earden.
