(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.

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

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.| |Reasons for holding zero
