Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:


SORP reference
Policy on grant making Para 1.38 The BCA does not make grant awards. We
have reduced letting charges for groups
which are based in our area of benefit and
make no charge for some groups which
cannot afford to hire space or which are run
directly by the BCA. During 2024-25 we
estimate that these free lets had a monetary
value of £5636.
Policy on social investment
including program related
investment
Para 1.38 Not relevant
Contribution made by
volunteers
Para 1.38 The Community Centre would not run
without volunteers. Including Trustees we
currently have 29 regular volunteers, who
are involved in managing the community
centre and supporting groups which are
directly run by the BCA.

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.
Para 1.20 During 2021 – 2022 the old community
centre was demolished and replaced by a
new community centre on the same site.
The new centre opened in early 2023 and
the main objective of the trustees was to
bring back groups which had previously
used the centre and attract new groups and
services. By March 2025 twenty-three
groups were using the new centre on a
regular basis, which is over twice the
number of groups which used the community
centre prior to the redevelopment.
We estimate that between 300 – 350 people
visit and use the facilities of the community
centre on a weekly basis. Bullingdon is now
the only community centre serving the Lye
Valley and Churchill wards of Oxford.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period
Para 1.21 The BCA ended the year with a deficit of
£1,002. This was due to the BCA increasing
the hours of our self-employed Building
Manager, because of the increased use of
the community centre.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held
Para 1.22 There are two major reasons for holding
reserves – the possibility of increases in the
costs of energy and the possibility that the
support we receive from Oxford City could
be reduced, because of cuts in the local
authority budget. Currently the City Council
does not charge a rent for the use of the
building and covers the cost of major repairs.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 £30,000
Reasons for holding zero
reserves
Para 1.22
Details of fund materially in
deficit
Para 1.24 See above for explanation of the deficit
regarding income and expenditure.
Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern
Para 1.23 Providing the support from the City Council
is maintained we are confident about the
BCA continuing as a going concern.
Additional information (optional)
You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:
The charity’s principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraising)
Para 1.47 The major source of funding is income from
letting out space at the community centre.
This is supplemented by grant awards.
Investment policy and
objectives including any
social investment policy
adopted

A description of the principal
risks facing the charity
