In 2022123 significant funds were raised through a public crowdfunder campaign, wth match funding from Aviva Community Fund. toward5 the costs of opening Share Bristol Bedminster. This resuhed in higher Income In 2022r23. These funds were spent on the fil-oul of Bedminster durin9 2023124, alongside the salary costs for the new Bedminstei Library of Things Manager. However. due to the delay in receiving the lease on the Bedminster property. Share Bristol Bedminster did not open until 1st May 2024, resulting in very little membership income for the second site in 2023124. In addition, a significant grant from Bri5101 City Council towards the Bedmin5ter frt-out was paid in arrears, meaning the expenditure fell into 2023r24 and the income into the followng year. In 2023124, Share Bristol had main Sour of income.. Membership income %thich totalled £15,522 from 391 memberships. This is paid by individual members of the public who choose to pay an annual membership ol Share Bristol in orfjer to borrow Things for free.

Fundraising compliance Share Bristol doe5 not have any commercial parb"cipator arrangements and did not use any professional fundraising services. We did not receive any Complaints regarding lundraising aclivilies. We are not aware of any concerns regarding our compliance wth fundraising standards and regulations, and believe that Share Bristol has adhered to all guidance to the best of our ability. Share Bristol is not required lo register with the Fundraising Regulator as il doe5 not spend any fund5 on fundraising. bul follows the Code of Fundraising Practice where appropnate. During 2023124. Lindsay Turner. Trustee anLI a fundraising professional. oversaw fundraising aclivty, and Anna Perry. Trustee, held a fundraising qualification and was a member of the Chartered Insts'tute of Fundraising. Rèsorvo8 Share Bristol's unreslrided general TeseNe$ were £2,054 al 31st May 2024. Share Bristol's aspirats'on is to hold enough free cash reserves to do the followng. in priority order.. 1. Settle obligations in the event of winding up the organisation e.g. staff redundancy pay 2. Deal wrth unexpected expenses e.g. buildin9 maintenance 3. Provide a buffer in the event of a disruption lo income e.g. membership Income falling 4. Be able lo respond lo opportunities that help us meet our objectives e.g. Thing purchase, opening additional locations For 2023124, we eslimaled that the amount of free cash reserves needed to fulfil the first of these priorities was £6,000. This was therefore the largel minimum amovnl that we aimed t¢ hold in cash reserves. W)en Share Bristol Bedminster opened. this largel rose to £8.000. Share Bristol estimated that the amount of free cash reserves needed lo fvlfil priorrties 1. 2 and 3 with two siles open was £12,000. The target level of reserves was not achieved by year end due to the $ts ol setting up Share Bristol Bedminsler near the end of 20234 and the payment of a grant in arrears, bul has been met from June 2024 onwards. Restricted funds al year end lolalled £4.849. due lo $triCte¢Y grants being received before 31 st May 2024. These funds were used during the nex1 financial year in a¢¢ordan¢e wth the grant's restrictions. There were no designated funds. Rlsks During 2023124, Share Bristol undertook quarterly reviews of the Key Risks Register. The main risks and their management were.. Failure to generate sufficient income- addressed through promoting Share Bristol through press releases. blogs and social media, engaging wth lapsed members and those registering on Share 8ristol's system without initsalty purchasing memberships, grant applications, and opening a second 51te. Lack of capacity in the staff and Trustee team- undertook recrurtment activity for Trustees th expertise in finance and marketing and communicatK)ns. Employment of a second Library of Things Manager added resilience. Plans for the Future Our vision Is that everybody shares. To achieve that vision for Bristol and South Gloucestershire. need to make borrowng as convenient as buying, and create a culture where borrowing is the preferred option. DuMnt Refr.
