Objectives and Activities

Public Benefit

To develop the capacity and skills of the members of the socially and economically disadvantaged communities of Brierley Hill and neighbouring areas, in such a way that they are better able to identify and help meet their needs, and to participate more fully into society. To promote for the benefot of the public, the urban regeneration being undertaken in areas of social and economic deprivation in Brierley Hill and the neighbouring areas.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Achievements and Performance

Main Achievements

It is my pleasure to present the Chairman’s Report for the Brierley Hill Community Forum for the year ending December 2025.

This has been a year of significant progress, with the Forum continuing to evolve from a coordinating body into a confident and effective delivery organisation. Across the year we have delivered a wide-ranging programme of heritage, cultural, environmental and community activity, alongside an increasingly active role in shaping the future of Brierley Hill.

Programme Delivery and Community Engagement

During the year, the Forum delivered an extensive programme of events and activities, engaging directly with over 3,500 people across the town.

Heritage and cultural activity has remained a cornerstone of our work. Heritage Open Days in September saw strong participation across multiple venues, supported by exhibitions, performances and community-led events. The continued development of heritage interpretation, including publications, educational resources and guided walks such as the Graves Walks, has helped deepen understanding of the town’s history and identity.

Our cultural programme has expanded significantly through the Cultural Consortium and Community Loom initiatives. These have enabled a diverse range of creative activity, from performances and film screenings to workshops and public art, helping to bring new audiences into the town and support local creative talent.

A particularly strong example of this integrated approach is the Marsh Park History and Volunteer Project, supported through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. Building on the discovery of a Second World War Royal Observer Corps lookout post, the Forum worked in partnership with Dudley Council, Wolverhampton Archaeology Group and local volunteers to deliver a multi-layered programme of activity.

This included archaeological interpretation, public talks, community history collection, guided walks, volunteer days and a specialist detectorist survey. The project successfully combined heritage, wellbeing and community engagement, attracting over 3,000 people through publicity and delivering a series of well-attended events. It also introduced new volunteers to the park and laid the groundwork for future digital interpretation, including 3D modelling and potential augmented reality experiences. Importantly, the project has created a lasting body of local historical material that will inform future education and heritage work.

Alongside this, the Forum has continued to organise and support key civic events, including Remembrance Sunday and the Poppy Appeal, both of which were delivered successfully with strong volunteer support and community participation.

Trustees' Report (continued)

For The Year Ended 31 December 2025

Main Achievements - continued

Environmental and Public Realm Improvements

The Forum has maintained a strong focus on improving the town’s environment and public spaces.

Brierley Hill in Bloom once again delivered high-quality planting schemes across the High Street and town centre, attracting positive public feedback. Despite challenges such as vandalism and plant disease, the programme has continued to improve year on year, supported by volunteers and external funding.

Additional initiatives, including wildflower planting and local greening projects, have further contributed to enhancing biodiversity and the quality of the local environment.

Regeneration and Strategic Influence

A key development during the year has been the Forum’s growing role in regeneration and strategic advocacy.

We have been actively engaged in discussions relating to the future of the town, including proposals linked to the Levelling Up / Local Regeneration Fund, the future of the former Police Station, and improvements to the Moor Centre and wider town centre.

The Forum has also played a consistent role in advocating for the extension of the Metro to Brierley Hill and has contributed to consultations on the Dudley Local Plan, ensuring that the interests of the town are represented.

These activities demonstrate the Forum’s increasing influence as a recognised voice for Brierley Hill in discussions with local, regional and national stakeholders.

Funding and Resources

The Forum has continued to secure and manage a significant level of external funding, enabling the delivery of an ambitious programme of activity.

During the year, we have successfully secured funding through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and other sources, supporting initiatives such as Community Loom, Digital Cornerstone and Empowering Brierley Hill. These programmes have allowed us to extend our work into business support, skills development and town centre promotion.

The Marsh Park project provides a clear example of how this funding is translated into tangible outcomes—leveraging relatively modest resources into high-impact, multi-partner delivery with lasting community benefit.

Business Engagement and Communications

This year has also seen progress in supporting the local business community.

Through the Business Sub-Group and related initiatives, work has begun on developing a stronger digital presence for the town, including branding, a business database and training opportunities for local traders.

The Community Newsletter has become an important communication tool, with a growing circulation and increasing engagement. Alongside social media and targeted outreach—such as that used successfully in the Marsh Park project—this has strengthened the Forum’s ability to communicate with residents, businesses and partners.

Governance and Organisation

The Forum has continued to strengthen its governance and organisational capacity.

Trustees' Report (continued)

For The Year Ended 31 December 2025

Main Achievements - continued

New directors have been appointed, bringing additional skills and experience to the organisation. A suite of key policies, including GDPR, Equality and Diversity, Health and Safety, and Safeguarding, has been formally adopted, ensuring that the Forum operates to appropriate standards.

We have also ensured compliance with statutory requirements, including the preparation and filing of annual accounts and updates to Companies House.

Partnerships

Partnership working remains central to our success.

We have continued to work closely with Dudley Council, Dudley College, Dudley CVS, WMCA, Arts Council England and a wide range of local organisations and volunteers. The Marsh Park project in particular demonstrates the strength of this approach, bringing together public bodies, specialist groups and the local community to deliver a shared outcome.

Looking Ahead

While much has been achieved, the year has also highlighted the scale of the opportunity ahead.

The Forum is now well positioned to play a leading role in the town’s future, particularly in relation to regeneration, cultural development and community engagement. Projects such as Marsh Park point towards a model of delivery that combines heritage, digital innovation, environmental improvement and community participation.

We will focus on building sustainable funding streams, strengthening partnerships, and ensuring that the benefits of regeneration are felt across the whole community.

Thanks

Finally, I would like to place on record my sincere thanks to all those who have contributed to the Forum’s work over the past year.

This includes our directors, volunteers, partners and funders, whose commitment, expertise and generosity make everything we do possible. It continues to be a privilege to work with such a dedicated and passionate community in Brierley Hill.

The budgeted income and expendituure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

Trustees' Report (continued)

For The Year Ended 31 December 2025

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees (who are also the directors of Brierley Hill Community Forum for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statement unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at anytime the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Small Company Rules

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

The trustees' report was approved by the board of trustees and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Brierley Hill Community Forum

For The Year Ended 31 December 2025

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Brierley Hill Community Forum

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the charity trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
