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 2026 twenty 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 financial year with a surplus of £2,946.
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 running costs ( eg; energy costs ) and the possibility that the support we receive from Oxford City Council 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
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.

A description of the principal risks facing the charity	Para 1.46	As noted above – cuts in the support provided the City Council is the principal risk.
