Horfield Common Community Interest Company is a social enterprise working to deliver activities and opportunities which benefit the community and in particular (without limitation) Horfield Common and the Ardagh. Horfield Common CIC is wholly owned by Ardagh Community Trust, charity number 1172556. Our charitable objectives, work and activities are targeted at improving the quality of life of individuals and our local communities by improving opportunities for participation, and providing space, facilities and amenities for community use. Our work delivers impactful, front-line services and accessible facilities to communities surrounding Horfield Common in North Bristol. The year 2020-21 was one of ongoing challenges and uncertainty. During this period and particularly in relation to the Covid19 global pandemic, Horfield Common CIC pivoted our work to respond to existing and emerging need in the local area – supporting local people experiencing an unprecedented global pandemic, which impacted significantly on community health – both mental and physical. In April 2020, the Ardagh site was closed in line with UK national lockdown restrictions, and HCCIC’s services moved online – providing opportunities for local people to connect, share experiences and reducing social isolation and anxiety at a time which was very stressful for many local people. This work developed through co-creation to provide a hyper-local telephone befriending service, coordinating local volunteers to deliver projects co-designed with local people in response to the pandemic – including dog walking for anyone needing to isolate, and volunteers collecting shopping and medicines for people shielding and isolating. Horfield Common CIC participated in Bristol’s Covid19 emergency response developing new collaborations and partnerships to ensure that services were not duplicated, and provided support – including provision of space for sorting donations, for example - to wider networks including mutual aid groups which emerged locally. Once the site was able to reopen our work also pivoted in response to the pandemic in that community demand increased use of our external public spaces – we created a new booking system, made spaces available to groups & proactively engaged with local networks to offer support where possible for other community groups – for people of all ages – to continue their activities in outdoor spaces at the Ardagh site while it was not possible for indoor spaces to be used. This developed a wide range of new opportunities for collaboration including with a range of local young people’s organisations who are using the site regularly and increasing our reach into the community.We are pleased to report that during the year HCCIC maintained our services – providing a takeaway cafe service throughout the pandemic – with the exception of the period of closure mandated by the UK government, and New Years Day 2021 to give our staff a chance to rest and enjoy the day with their families.Through 2020/2021 our staff team grew to a total of 22 employees working in a range of roles across the organisation, both part-time and full-time. Despite the challenges of this year, Horfield Common CIC has achieved significant growth in earned income, as planned. In parallel we have been developing internal systems and processes to support this growth in business and staffing. Considerable work has taken place throughout this accounting period to further develop our financial processes and procedures as well as our policies to ensure that these model best-practice. As we reimagine the site post Covid19, we are looking forwards to a period of further growth in activities and impact.
The company’s stakeholders include Directors, Trustees of ACT, local residents, customers, site users and a wide network of partners. The company has undertaken a range of consultation activities (these have been limited by the pandemic through this accounting period but include): Online Consultation – March/April/June 2020 “Pandemic Support.” This digital co-creation space (facilitated by HCCIC staff through online platforms) led to the co-creation of a range of responses to the pandemic and lockdown restrictions. These include the development, and implementation of a new booking system for the public spaces and sports courts at the Ardagh site to enable increased use by a wider range of local people, groups and organisations. Additionally, this also led to the development of a range of community services coordinated by HCCIC staff members and delivered by volunteers including a dog-walking service for people needing to shield and/or self-isolate, a collection and delivery service of medicines and shopping for local people and a peer-support telephone befriending service to provide ongoing support for local people experiencing loneliness and social isolation. Alongside this online activity, The Cafe on the Common remained open daily throughout the pandemic, trading as a takeaway service only, and providing an ongoing, informal opportunity for feedback from site users and local residents which was fed into planning and delivery of new projects and services once lockdown restrictions enabled this. These included the delivery of outdoor gardening sessions for local volunteers, and socially-distanced health and wellbeing activities (e.g Tai-Chi, Choir, Craft) delivered in the external spaces at the Ardagh
