|---|---|---|
|Policy on grant making|Para 1.38|**The BCA does not make grant awards.**<br>**We have reduced letting charges for**<br>**groups which are based in our area of**<br>**benefit and make no charge for some**<br>**groups which cannot afford to hire space**<br>**or which are run directly by the BCA.**<br>**During 2023-24 we estimate that these**|

## **Achievements and Performance** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|**During 2021 – 2022 the old community**<br>**centre was demolished and replaced by a**<br>**new community centre on the same site.**<br>**A combination of the redevelopment and**<br>**the COVID lockdowns resulted in the**<br>**community centre being closed for over**<br>**two years.**<br>**The new centre opened in early 2023 and**<br>**the main objective of the trustees was to**<br>**bring back groups which had previously**<br>**used the centre and attract new groups**<br>**and services. By March 2024 twenty**<br>**groups were using the new centre on a**<br>**regular basis, which has twice the**<br>**number of groups which used the**<br>**community centre prior to the**<br>**redevelopment. Local residents and**<br>**users of the community centre have**<br>**provided very positive feedback on the**<br>**design and appearance of the new centre**<br>**In addition, we have been able to attract**<br>**new services to the centre- including**<br>**Citizens Advice and NHS Health Checks.**|

The awards were mainly**<br>**for new furniture and equipment for the**<br>**community centre.**|

## **Financial Review** 

|**Financial Review**|||
|---|---|---|
|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|**The BCA ended the year with a surplus of**<br>**£6106. This was a positive result given**<br>**that this was first year of the new centre**<br>**being open and that we had to build up**<br>**lets and incur costs for new furniture and**<br>**equipment.**|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|**There are two major reasons for holding**<br>**reserves – the possibility of increased**<br>**costs of energy and the possibility that**<br>**support from Oxford City could be**<br>**reduced because of cuts in the local**<br>**authority budget. Currently the City**<br>**Council does not charge a rent for the**<br>**use of the building and covers the cost of**<br>**major repairs.**|
|Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|**£30,000**|
|Reasons for holding zero<br>reserves|Para 1.22||
|Details of fund materially in<br>deficit|Para 1.24||
