Turnaround Bristol Trustees, Report Yearended 31 March 2025 Trustees, Annual Report Our work Turnaround Bristol journeys alongside and offers compassionate, practical support to people experiencing homelessness and those who are vulnerable, with a vision to.. See o city where people can live life to the full, in stable uccommodution, never to be homeless agoin. The charity came irbto being in February 2024 and took over the work of the former Bristol Methodist Centre in June 2024. The Bristol Methodist Centre had been in operation, in one form or another, for over 100 years at the time of the operation being taken over by the new charity. There is therefore a significant legacy of supporting people experiencing homelessness in the city. Turnaround Bristol operates from a spacious day-centre in the Lawrence Hill area of the city, where it offers guests the opportunity not only to receive hospitality and essential help like food and dry clothing, but also to engage with the support and advice that they need to develop their own pathways to independence and freedom from homelessness. Duringtheyearthe Centrewas open on Mondaysto Wednesdaysfrom 10.00am to 3.00pm, and on Thursdays from 1.15pm to 3.1X)pm. It welcomes all adults without need for referral or registration and offers.. Hot food and drinks Clothing Laundry Showers Computer access Charging stations and internet Lockers /0 Postal address Occasional health clinics Dog kennels Pastoral support Art room Games room Chapel / Chaplaincy Garden Signposting Every Euest is treated as an individual and offered support on a case-by-case basis. This often involves support with benefits, PIP claims and housing applications. One-stop-shop A key development this year was the establishment of the "One-stop-shop" on Tuesdays. Prior to this initiative taking shape, the team might advise a guest to seek help from an agency. They would make them an appointment and provide directions to Eet there but inevitably a signilicant number of appointments failed to take place. Since November 2024, representatives of partner agencies have come to the Centre and met with guests on a "no appointment needed" basis improving outcomes significantly.

After the day-centre closed for the day, the team set up a "pop-up hostel" with camp-beds. Turnaround volunteers greeted and settled guests and agency staff provided overnight wakin8 SUPPOrt. Turnaround participated in SWEP on 13 nights during the season, providing accommodation for between 7 and 11 guests on each occasion. Our people The Centre is run by a small team of employed staff12.8 FTEI and around 12 volunteers. As well as offering hospitality and helping guests to access the services outlined above, they spend time with guests, getting to know them and developing relationships of trust. Our team is diverse, including people of different ages and backgrounds, and individuals with lived experience. As a result, guests have confidence that their experiences and needs are met with understanding and empathy. Preparing to open longer hours A key part of the Turnaround strategy 15 to close gaps in service provision across the City. As a first Step towards more joined up provision, trustees and staff have put time and energy into preparing to open for 4 days each week from Easter 2025. After considering the needs of the work, and the financial implications of increasing staff hours, the charity went through a recruitment cycle in the months running up to the end of the financial year. Looking ahead Another major strand in the charity's vision is to improve the facilities at the centre. In November 2024 a planning application was submitted to Bristol City Council for the following works at the Centre.. Provision of 5 self-contained housing units to be used as'move-on, accommodation for clients Significant improvement5 to the kitchen ond for storage Provision of additional and improved office accommodation to allow for more flexible support services for clients
Turnaround Bristol Trustees, Report Yearended 31 March 2025 Planning permission for the works was granted in February 2025, and a project team has been put in place since then to progress the procurement of a building contractor to complete the work, and to secure the capital funds needed. We are expecting the work to commence onsite during the spring / summer of 2026, and hope that completion will be achieved by the end of 2026 1 early 2027. This is a major step forward for the charity and will both improve the services provided to clients, arbd significantly increase the contribution that the charity makes to supporhng homelessness across the city.

Support sessions addressed issues includin8 benefits, housing, health and signposting to additional sUPPOrt. Review of the charity's financial position at the end of the reporting period Turnaround Bristol, like most charities working in the homelessness sector, is largely dependent on voluntary funds. The charity has a historic latiOnship with the Methodist Church. When the charity was established, it took over the running of an existing project together with a healthy balance of funds designated for that project. The charity has been successful in maintaining a positive relationship with individual supporters and Methodist Churches in the Bristol region, so that a significant proporhon of our income comes from donations made by them. In addition, we have engaged the services of a fundraising consultant and received funds from grant making trusts. As a new charity, we have also benefited from the support of Bristol City Council who made a grant of £71,096 as part of their Rough Sleeping Initiative. These income sources have enabled the new charity to come through its first financial year in good financial shape. The charity's income for the period was £392,623 and expenditure was £169,540. Unrestricted funds at the end of the year were £150.563. and restricted funds £72.520. meaninE total reserves at the end of the period were £223,083. Since this is the first reporhng period for Turnaround Bristol, there are no previous financial statements with which to compare these figures. Reserves pollcy The trustees aim to keep a minimum of two months, forecast operational expenditure in reserves at all times based on the approved budget for each fiscal year, excluding gifts in kind. Reserves at the end of the year were £65,563 which represents approximately 3 months anticipated expenditure. As the charity is raising
Turnaround Bristol Trustees, Report Yearended 31 March 2025 funds towards a projected building redevelopment, funds in excess of healthy reserves may be considered towards this project. Overall, this is a healthy financial end to the first year operating as a charity.

Turnaround Bristol Trustees, Report Period ended 31 March 2025 A message from the Chair of Trustees It is a joy and privilege to be able to share a message with readers of this, our first Annual Report for Turnaround Bristol. We took over the operation in June 2024 following 18 months of very constructive discussion and negotiation with the Methodist Church at local (Circuit) and national level. It is remarkable to note that the Bristol Methodist Centre, as it had been before it was taken over by the new charity, had been in operation for over 100 years. What a remarkable legacy, and one that we are very proud to inherit and take forward. We are committed to retaining our strong links to the Methodist Church, and we seek to build a wider relationship with the wider church community, and other partners across the city and surrounding region. We are excited about the future of the charity as we seek to maintain and build financial stability and increase the impact of the work we do. We see this being most effectively achieved through partnership and collaboration, and over the first g months of the charity's involvement we have seen this grow significantly. We're parkncularly excited to be looking at major building works commencing in 2026 that will significantly increase the reach and impact of the work we do, in partnership with others. l also recognise that we long for a city where homelessness is not such a major issue as it currently is. Our stated vision is to 'See a city where people con live life to the full, in stable accommodation, rjever to be homeless again,. We want that not just for the client5 we directly, and indirectly work with, but for all those experiencing homelessness in the city. In addition to expressing my gratitude to the staff team and volunteers I'd also like to thank my fellow trustees for all they have given to governing the charity over this lirst 9 months. And lastly, I'd like to thank all those organisations, churches and people who have supported us so generously in linancial and other ways. Jknc4 Andy Street- Chair of Trustees 24 October 2025
