| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | The objects of Be[er Connected Beaconsfeld (BCB), which are for the beneft of the residents of Beaconsfeld and the surrounding area, are: (1) To promote social inclusion for the public beneft by prevenDng people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded, and assisDng them to integrate into society. (2) To relieve sickness and to preserve health among people residing permanently or temporarily in the area of beneft. (3) To provide transport faciliDes in the area of beneft for people who have special need of such faciliDes because they are elderly, poor or disabled, people with young children, or those living in the local area where there are no adequate public transport faciliDes. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
The COVID 19 pandemic has had a major impact on the urgency and nature of acDviDes undertaken during this frst reporDng period, and demanded an agile and immediate response in order to deliver services in the Dmeframes required and consistent with the above purposes for the public beneft. Our main acDviDes, and how they have delivered public beneft, are set out below and in the achievements and performance secDon of this report. The Buddy network- Our role at Be[er Connected Beaconsfeld to help support the community, is more important than ever. This is why at the start of COVID we set up a network of more than 300 volunteers for Beaconsfeld residents to provide support to the isolated, elderly and families who are self- isolaDng. Known as Buddies and supported by Co-ordinators this team of local people provides support and help to those in need within their community. Beaconsfeld Pop-Up Larder- At this difcult Dme as an emergency response we established a Pop-Up Larder of food and other necessiDes to help support people with essenDals, in the short term, as part of our COVID support. We have been working closely with the One Can Trust throughout this Dme. Since August 20, we have slowly been migraDng to a more permanent support system managed by One Can out of their Wycombe premises. Be[er Connected Beaconsfeld is sDll helping One Can Trust, and is able to refer people for support. A Listening Ear –Started as a response to the stresses and increased isolaDon that COVID has brought. The Listening Ear service enables anyone to have a chat in confdence, with one of our trained volunteer listeners, this free service is sDll conDnuing. While living in these unprecedented Dmes some extra support to air your feelings, concerns and frustraDons or just have someone to listen, can be a real beneft. PrescripHon service- Together with the Beaconsfeld Rugby Club, BCB provide a free prescripDon delivery service from Pyramid Pharmacy for all prescripDons in the Beaconsfeld area for all residents. Our websitewww.be[erconnectedbeaconsfeld.org.uk,phone and contacts helped people refer themselves or others for help. Tech Buddies Project– This project started in Jun20 helping people who do not have access to video calling apps to keep in touch with friends and family, and therefore are at increased risk of social isolaDon & loneliness, compared to those that have the relevant technology. During COVID, when meeDng people in person is further restricted, the potenDal negaDve health impacts are even more likely. Those with increased health risks or needs will also be more vulnerable. The project was set up to provide people with access to technology and know-how that they would otherwise not have access to at home. The benefts will be their ability to stay socially connected with family, social groups and support services etc. The aim is to reduce the risk of social isolaDon and loneliness and therefore reduce risk of premature negaDve health outcomes. To also build resilience and a sense of belonging. Roll out of service took place from 2 October 2020 with a total of 6 benefciaries, providing on loan Lenovo tablets and SIMS & support. Trusted sources were ~~referrers to the pilot such as GPs & faith groups.~~ |

Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21, | Overall, we are able to report a very posiDve fnancial outcome for this period, despite the usual uncertainDes facing any new charity, and the added complicaDons and constraints on planning, acDviDes and expenditure arising from the COVID 19 pandemic. The a[ached Receipts and Payments Accounts, together with their accompanying notes, provide an overview of fnancial acDvity during our frst accounDng period, and show higher than anDcipated cash balances at the end of that period in all Restricted and Unrestricted funds. We would expect to see these cash balances reduce considerably over the coming period as we build on experience to date, and gain greater clarity on the implicaDons of COVID 19 on our work. Areas of parDcular note are as follow: COVID 19 Restricted Fund Specifc fundraising to help alleviate the impact of COVID 19 on the Beaconsfeld community exceeded both expectaDons and requirements idenDfed to date, and we are consequently now considering how best to uDlize the signifcant cash balance of £6959 remaining in the COVID 19 Restricted Fund. As such, we are seeking to idenDfy any new areas of COVID-related support, which might be an appropriate use of these funds, whilst also invesDgaDng possible transfer to the BCB Unrestricted Fund. Any such transfer will be fully compliant with Charity Commission rules and guidance on the ma[er. UDlising a combinaDon of these measures we would expect to see cash balances in this area reduce signifcantly during the next few years as the COVID pandemic allows us to increase our outreach acDviDes. Community Bus Restricted Fund £6000 received from Bucks County Council was specifed for expenditure on a Community Bus in the next reporDng period, in partnership with Beaconsfeld Town Council. Due to COVID 19 this project was put on hold, and we await confrmaDon from the Town Council as to when they are in a posiDon to restart this project. Should Bucks County Council not carry this grant forward for another year it will be repaid in full, reducing cash balances by £6000. Whilst disappoinDng, the return of these funds would have no impact on other BCB acDviDes and presents no risk to our overall fnancial posiDon. Tech Buddies Project Fund A strong donor response to this project has provided a healthy cash balance from which future procurement of Tablets and associated equipment will be made, as benefciaries are idenDfed in consultaDon with trusted referrers. Procurement of equipment is geared around idenDfed requirements, rather than large up-front purchases and stock-holdings, and we therefore anDcipate a gradual reducDon of the £6085 cash balance in this fund as new equipment is procured to meet idenDfed requirements. |
|---|---|---|
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | The Reserves policy is to retain £310 to cover running costs for six months in the event of fnancial difculty, plus £140 to iniDate fund-raising (leafeDng, rafes etc.) to address any such difculty. Reserves are held as unrestricted funds, and the policy will be reviewed regularly as part of the risk-management process. |
|---|---|---|
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | At the end of the period reserves were £3995, held within unrestricted funds. This level of reserves resulted from higher than anDcipated donaDons. Also with reduced acDviDes as a consequence of the COVID 19 pandemic, this reducDon of acDviDes reduced our expenditure. As we emerge from the pandemic and expand our acDviDes, we expect our reserves to reduce. |
