OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Slgnlflcant activitles
This f5nancial year has seen growth for 3SG, both in terms of finances, sustainability and staffing. Aifiya Khan
joined us in August as Project Manager and by January 2024 we had welcomed our second Projoct Manager
with a focus on Volunteering. Tonl Green, and Soclal Pres¢ribing Project Manager, Dav￿ Jenkins, by
mid-march 2024.
This growth was primarily due to new funding opportunities
the Social Economy Wesl programrne
fijnded via Business West & WECA for Ihe next 2.5 years, and the Social Prescribing role funded through the
Active Way until March 2026.
In the past year or so, il has become emdent that 3SG is moving into a new phase in its work, whlch includes
focus on advocacy and long term strategy for the Thlrd Seotor in B&NES. Thls became apparent from
Christmas 2023, when the Councll announced il would need to find £1.3m of savings from Community
Contracts and Earfy Help. Since then. the 3SG Director has been campaigning for an equal partnership
between Third Sector providers and the Local Authority wlh better transparency and cornmunication. This
work is Ilkely lo be ongoing for some time lo come.
Due lo the growth of the cha￿tY and ils ambition for the future. the team have benefitted from clavelopmenl
days and coaching for the Director, winning a place on tha Fuluie Talent programme in 2024.
The most significant event of this financial year was 3SG's first ever Volunteer Fair. which took place on 1st
September 2023. This saw over 40 charities exhlbS1ing al Ihe Apex Hotel In Bath, with talks and workshops
taking place on the subject of volunteering throughout the day. Over 200 loc81 rasidenls Mslted and the
feedback was so posllive Ihat we dacided lo host another event in 2024. The Fair was possible in 2023 due lo
a one-off Contain Outbreak Management Fund (Government pandemic funding). We hope this will become
an annu81 event for the local Third Sector and to help increase awareness of the essential 8UPPOrt provided
by 3SG members to local communities.
The other significant projects of the financi81 year, which will be ongoing, are Social Economy Wesl and
our strategic work on Social Prescribing. Social Economy West is offering 12 hours of fre& sustainability
support for growing social enterprises, using 3SG, consultsnts and mentors, with 3SG coordinating. This work
has been particularly important as we continue to work closely with Bath Spa University and the Bath Social
Impact Network. We have also teamed up with Cool Ventures who offer start up support, ensuTing that we
have a start up lo sustsinability niodel, with the NebNork as the umbrella peer support.
The Social Prescribing project is part of 3SG'8 ongoing work In health, with a strategic focus on how we better
connect the work of Third Sector partners and medlcal practice. Davtd Jenklns has been mapping the currnnl
providers and looking al a wider system change in futur8, given what is availabla and with the now prime
providef frofn April 25. We are really pleased that this work has been extended for another year as it Is a huge
place of strategic work Sn what has been a changing {and challenging) landscape.
Our slralegi¢ work continues with 3SG's close relationship with the Community Wellbeing Hub. Funding saw
3SG developing a new strategy and business plan for sustainable funding 8nd ¢ornmunity engagement at the
Hub. Includlng brSnging in new commlssioned partners Into this space and strengthening the Hub's offer.
With th8 growth of the team we have worked hard lo be more avallable to members and moro visible as we

SLJPPOrted the Hoallh Inequalities funding distributed by the B&NES. Swindon & Wiltshire IBSWI Integrated
Care System IICSI. Wa were honoured lo be invited lo Bath Abbey to celebrate the 850th Annwersary of the
Sl John's Foundation which was also attend8d by Her Majesty The Queen.
3SG is very aware that it supports mernbers outside of Bath and w8 worked hard this financial year to widen
the organisation's offer lo parts of North East Somersel. We are looking lo see how this offer can be
extended 8nd improved upon in future. Our events outside of Bath worked alongside community venues such

develops.

Summary
3SG's core rnission remalns- lo bring together local Third Sector organisations. give a voice to local charities.
communlty groups and social enterprises and use Connections lo influence decision making.
The organis8tion has a story to tell from hyper k)cal, srnall scale support lo Third Sector organisalions, lo
growng ils membership to much larger bodies, such as the National Trust. 11 coordinated the local pandemic
response with over 2,000 local volunteer8 and has now moved into a new phase of advocacy work with a
growing. dedicated team.
Moving forward, 3SG needs lo look at a new, three-year Strategy to en8bEe the growth and sustalnability of
the charity. Mor& work to come on thls In 2025 and which we hop8 wlll 888 an expansion of our offlce and
staff to help vAlh capacity and developm8nl.
We believe that Third Sector infrastructure support is cruci81, now more than ever. WSlh 8 mlx of local
aulhollty funding cuts, new procurement conlra¢ts, rising pressures in demand and sector wellbeing, 3SG is
the conduit for support and the voice of a Sector that often does not have the lime or resources lo be in those
spaces or champion ils work. We hope that as 3SG grows, we will be able lo raise the profile of the Third
Sector in B&NES and mak8 11 an equal partner al the tsble when strategic decisions are being made.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Flnanclal posltlon
The CIO'S income lotalled £129,892, in which £84.1(￿ came from restricted Grants. The maln grants were
from Sl John's Foundation. Contsin Outbreak Management Fund and the NHS. A large donallon from one
private philanthropist was recelved and income was generated vla partnershlp work. income generated via
advertising local charity jobs and membershlp Income.
In March 2022, 3SG was awarded £54,000 lo the BSW VCSE Infr8struclure Alliances paid over 3 years. The
funding agreement ends in March 202S and supports VCSE lime and activity in NHS spaces.
The CIO generated £14,552 Membership income over the perfod compared lo £15,830 in the previous year.
Merllbershlp income has decreased by 80A but the number of mernbers continues to grow from 179 10 209.
The decrease In membership income will be due lo 3 larger number of organisalions joining that fall into the
free membeiship category (under £10,000 pal.
The CIO gen8raled £3.965 in Advertl8ing income over the perfod compared to £5,790 in the previous year.
Jobs income on the website has decreased by 32°k and il was likely that this peaked post pandemic.
Addilionalty, cost of living prossures are now seeing either freezes in recruilmenl or 8 reluctance lo spend as
much on advertisin9.
3SG now receives very little in regular public donations as this was a kind response to the pandemic and the
charity 18 currèntly not public facing, apart from its work in hosting the Volunteer Fair. There is no doubt that
the financial environment it is operating in is ch811enging, bul longer term funding from the Council, NHS and
wid8r projects such as Social Economy Wesl, will help secure 3SG's future.
Unreslrfcled Teserves ara èqulva￿nI lo 12.5 months of runnlng costs.
In January 2024, 3SG re￿iVed funding of £50,000 lo cover the Social Prescribing Project Management post.
This funding was carried over into the Financial Year 2024125 in order lo o)ver the Costs incurred.
Staff costs were higher than usual In this financial year due lo the team growing from 3 to 5.
This financial year the CIO continued its ongoing work In seeking suslainabk Income lo protect 3SG's fijlure,
