AS WE CELEBRATE OUR

25TH ANNIVERSARY, IT’S A

TIME FOR US TO REFLECT ON

PAST ACHIEVEMENTS AND

EXPERIENCES AND USE THEM AS

AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLAN FOR

FUTURE DYNAMIC GROWTH.04

CELEBRATING 25YEARS 1988|2013

I’m delighted to welcome you all to our Annual Report on this our milestone 25th Anniversary year. A year where we are both reflective of the past as we celebrate the last two and a half decades and look to a future of continued growth and progress.

Over the last 25 years the charity has seen some enormous changes – while a few things remain the same as they were back in 1988.

When we opened the doors of our portacabin in Burwell 25 years ago, our charity offered workplace training to just a few adults with learning disabilities. A quarter of a century later, we’re still on the same site but now offering 28 ‘Printers’1 workplace experience and training. Over the decades, and with a tremendous amount of help and support by very many people, especially the community of Burwell, the charity has grown into a dynamic Social Training Enterprise with the splendid facilities we have today.

In my previous report to you the year-end figures showed a budget deficit of £5k. And it can be easy to become discouraged when the figures on the balance sheet in no way reflect the tremendous amount of progress made by our Printers. Life skills such as confidence and independence to name just two of the many achievements gained through the excellent workplace training delivered by our staff. But over this last year, despite the rather gloomy economy, I’m delighted to report that we have pulled together and end the year with a small surplus to put in reserves for future planned growth. Let me explain.

During the last 12 months, we have made great strides in planning our future growth. As I write we’re close to completion of our Business Plan which will steer us over the next three-year period.

So as we celebrate 25 years of delivering quality workplace experience and training to adults with learning disabilities, it’s a time to be both reflective on the past as well as excited for the future. A future where we aim to support even more ‘Printers’ as well as produce more goods and services for our customers. We hope you will celebrate with us and support us in the coming years.

1 ‘Printers’ is the name given to the adults with learning disabilities who receive workplace experience and training at Burwell Print.

manager’sreport THIS YEAR HAS BEEN

ANOTHER SUCCESS STORY! IN

FACT, WHEN THINKING ABOUT

WRITING THIS REPORT SEVERAL

WORDS CAME TO MIND TO

DESCRIBE WHAT WE DO AND

HOW WE DO IT.

QUALITYTwenty eight people with learning disabilities have attended Burwell Print this year for work experience and training as part of their Adult Social Care provision. Some people have attended Burwell Print for many years, others have joined us quite recently, but all would confirm that they benefit enormously from coming to Burwell Print, their work-place for the day, and that they love to get on with all the different jobs we put in front of them. That’s what I call QUALITY Adult Social Care provision.

We now have over 220 print, print finishing and design customers who continue to bring us their jobs, and many customers expand the types of jobs they bring. Our customers are confident in knowing that • if we say we can do it, we can • we will meet the agreed deadline• they will be pleased with the end result.That’s what I call QUALITY printing, design and all related services.

TEAM WORKMost people who have come in to Burwell Print, whether they have been using us for years or they are just dropping in to see what we do, have commented that they can feel the buzz of the organisation. One of the reasons for this is our excellent team work - Printers, staff and volunteers working together to get the jobs done, showing respect to and for each other AND having a bit of fun. That’s what I call TEAM WORK.

VISIONThis year we are celebrating 25 years and this is due in part to the quality services we provide, the team work AND our consistent forward planning. Not only are we celebrating 25 years in existence, we are also celebrating the fact that we have earned the recognition as a model of excellence as a Social Training Enterprise in this region.That’s what I call VISION.

Many, many more words come to mind but space is limited but I’m sure you will have picked up on most of them as you read through all the reports.

As an organisation we continue to support and advocate on behalf of people with learning disabilities; our close working relationship with other Social Training Enterprise Group members makes our voice even louder. We will continue to strive to support our Printers to understand and achieve their citizenship rights and responsibilities.Here’s to the next 25 years.

firstimpressions

My husband and I together with our son James came to look around Burwell Print on a sunny April afternoon. Having already chatted on the phone with the lovely Sue we knew that there was currently “no room at the inn“ but nevertheless Sue warmly invited us.

When we walked through the door the atmosphere was bright and welcoming and we were greeted at reception by a very polite Printer (apologies for not recalling your name).

Everyone was hard at work as Sue showed us around and introduced us to both Printers and staff. It felt a very supportive and family-like environment and we immediately felt comfortable and at ease.

Having explored other avenues and experienced the “gnawing knot” in the stomach knowing they weren’t quite right for James I must admit to feeling relieved at finding such a treasure where mutual respect was tangible and personal achievement was celebrated. We felt that James would be supported but have room to grow and develop skills and forge relationships. The only problem of course was the lack of a place.

After looking around we had chat with Sue who like the rest of the staff is obviously passionate and enthusiastic about her work. She advised us to keep in touch and also emailed me useful bits and pieces she thought may be of interest.

So, imagine our delight when we received “the call”! Sue possibly suffered temporary deafness after enduring my lengthy squeals.

James began his printing career a few weeks later and absolutely loves coming to work. We watch on proudly at his blossoming confidence as he shows us the machines he uses and explains what he has done.

A huge thanks goes to Sue and her team (sorry, still don’t know everyone’s names) and of course those fab people who volunteer at the Burwell Print. Here’s to the next 25 years!!

training& WORK EXPERIENCE

10

Training and development continue to be a key focus for the services we provide at Burwell Print.

We all constantly strive to develop, maintain and challenge the skill levels of our Printers, through person-centred training, for both accredited and non-accredited Printers. In some instances, we work to develop our own skill base if we feel it will help us to support a Printer in achieving a key interest or target.

We continue to be forward thinking, and always work as a team to identify new projects. This allows us to develop and train Printers alongside our existing printing services, and to ensure that we can always offer new, varied and stimulating opportunities.

The coming academic year is going to bring our biggest challenges, as we will be very limited on the number of students we can register for accredited training. This constraint is driven by the funding restrictions handed down from government policy, via Cambridge Regional College, to us on the front line. Another new constraint is that students are required to be under the age of 24 in order to be eligible for registration this academic year.

As we immerse ourselves in this new academic year, we are busy holding Printers’ reviews. These allow us to monitor and evaluate everyone’s progress from last year, and to identify any key areas for continued development. A large part of our work also involves developing the variety of new targets needed to support Printers’ involvement in the daily management of the Print Centre; this also means that we must take care of any associated paperwork.

We are all very much looking forward to introducing the new programme, and feel it will enable us to continue to plan and deliver the training in a targeted, individual and progressive way. We are very proud of our training programme, and our Printers can always be assured of a structured, caring environment in which to develop their personal skills, and achieve their goals and aspirations.

12 IT HAS BEEN A VERY BUSY

YEAR AGAIN AND IN ADDITION TO

OUR PRINTING WORK WE HAVE

RUN A NUMBER OF PROJECTS.

CELEBRATING 25YEARS 1988|2013

We have been preparing for our 25th Anniversary throughout the year and introduced a Facebook page. It enables us to advertise new products, use as a blog and is a timeline with details of our history. We are also in the planning stage for setting up a Facebook selling page so that we can promote and sell many of our products, including our ‘Second String’ jewellery items.

We have also developed Baking Packs with recipe cards and various cooking utensils and holiday journals with themed pages for children to record activities they have done during the summer.

Vaughan and I began discussions about replacing our black Xerox printer which we use to print all our parish magazines and the majority of our general photocopying. It was nearly four years old and we started to look around at what was being offered. We came up with a wish list of functions we would like in an ideal world and a Konica Minolta Bizhub pro 951 stood out amongst the competition. We eventually chose the Konica Minolta and it offers us many advantages and it also talks!!

Foresters continue to keep us busy with their mailouts which need stuffing in envelopes, labelling stamping and posting. Addenbrookes Hospital continue to support us with large orders for training documents, and we have added two new parish magazines to our customer list – Within Reach and Moulton News.

We printed school yearbooks, unibound with pre-printed hardback covers, for Bottisham Village College again this year after a successful first run last year. Unibind Hardback books look really professional and showcase what we can do here at the Print Centre.

In January Vaughan and I, with some much needed guidance from Keith Sangster, began work to convert our outside shed into an internal storeroom to house our ever expanding paper and custom print stock. After a couple of days of demolition work we started to rebuild internal walls and affix plasterboard, and then Keith plastered and painted it all. It looks great and doing the work ourselves saved us money and it was good fun to have a change from our day-to-day work too.

Looking back over the last year, and with the 25th Anniversary celebrations taking place, this has reminded me just how far the Print Centre has come. We can be proud of the continued improvements in quality and service we offer our customers and excited at the feedback we are getting from our customers too.

The design team has produced some major pieces of work this year. We were fortunate enough to be accepted as the preferred designers for local charity Headway Cambridgeshire. Our brief was to re-brand their organisation and to follow that through with marketing materials, information packs, fundraising events and charity newsletter. They are very pleased with the result and are continuing to promote us to their contacts. It’s always satisfying to make new business relationships with like-minded organisations.

We have had this kind of synergy with Rowan Humberstone in Cambridge over many, many years and continue to help them with their design and print requirements.

Our current equipment continues to serve us well. With the vinyl cutter we have produced a number of signs and some very large site boards for another long term social enterprise partner Darwin Nurseries. The large format printer gives excellent results up to A1 size and this year we editioned some prints for local artist Sally Hunter.

We had to replace our sublimation printer this year (the process we use for printing marketing goods). However we continue to print significant quantities of mugs, coasters etc.

Sarah has worked with Jane and Mel to produce some children’s activity packs for Burwell Print this year. There are two types, a recipe pack and a holiday pack. You can buy them from the Print Centre and we will be selling them at craft events next year.

As Chris mentioned in his report, it has been great to have the extension to the storage area in the design room and this has meant we don’t have large boxes of paper all over the floor area. I just need to adopt this kind of strategy for my own desk!

14CELEBRATING 25YEARS 1988|2013

Over the years Burwell Print has been involved in numerous community events and the past year has been no exception.

Darwin Nurseries Craft Fair was the result of two social enterprises working together, Darwin Nurseries and Burwell Print, to sell our products and promote our services. Held in June at Darwin, we invited small businesses to have stalls and used the opportunity to try out our new products.

This wasn’t our first experience of this type of event. In December 2012 we had stalls at two Christmas craft fairs, and as we received such positive feedback we were inspired to organise our own.

Burwell Carnival, also in June, was a great day and brought the whole community together. The theme for the carnival this year was West End musicals and theatre. We chose The Phantom of the Opera for our float, not only because many of our Printers are familiar with the musical but because the show is also celebrating 25 years. The Printers with Sarah, Vaughan, Elliott and Geoff did an amazing job of decorating the float.

The judges were also very impressed as we won Best Adult Float for the second year running. Mark said, “I had a lovely day. I enjoyed dressing up and waving at everyone.”

Mother’s Day mug workshop came about from an idea discussed at our Business Development Group. We invited dads and grandads to bring their children in to our Saturday morning workshop to design a mug and have it printed. The morning was a great success: not only did the children take home a unique Mother’s Day gift, they were able to observe the whole mug-making process and it was also another opportunity for us to promote Burwell Print and what we do. The Ceilidh we organised as part of our 25th celebrations earlier this year, brought together local people, our customers, supporters, volunteers, trustees, staff and of course, the stars of the show, our Printers. It was a wonderful evening, with over 140 of us kicking off our celebrations to mark our 25th anniversary with all the people who make it possible. Thank you.

from our customers

Revd John Hardy, Rector, St Mary’s

Newmarket with St Agnes’ Exning

The service we receive from Burwell Community Print is second to none, both in technical terms and humanly speaking. Our monthly print-run of parish newsletters (plus the occasional extra order of something a bit different, like a new service booklet) is very well done, and done on time. The welcoming faces at reception make each visit to BCP a real pleasure. Thank you for all your help.

Best wishes,John

Lou Shackleton

I just want to say what a great job you do. We were so happy with the printing you did for our wedding invites, tickets and thank you postcards. Keep up all the great work – here’s to another 25 years!

Christine Rawlinson

Newmarket Lions Club

Newmarket Lions have helped Burwell Print Centre for many years and first got involved with them back in 2003. We aim to help locally based groups to help themselves and encourage young people and adults with varying disabilities to have a better quality of life. The Print Centre offers the same high level of service and products of a commercial company but with the added bonus of making a real difference to disadvantaged people and their life and involvement in the community. It provides a vitally important opportunity to the Printers and helps them to be independent in a stimulating normal working environment.

Newmarket Lions, as a voluntary organisation, like to help disadvantaged people where and when possible and we know we have helped in building the confidence of the group as we have seen them develop. By funding the production of their DVD we hope it helps to demonstrate why the group is so important and encourage new business for them providing a stable future. We know we have made a difference to them and we encourage anyone or any local businesses in the area to help them too by giving them support with printing orders which will allow them to carry on in business and exist as a training venue for many years to come.

BUSINESSdevelopment& MARKETING IN A MARKETPLACE THAT

IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING,

THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY

BRINGS US EVER FASTER AND

MORE EFFICIENT MACHINERY

AND SYSTEMS.

The focus for the Business Development and Marketing group continued to be on consolidating and expanding the business, whilst continuing to incorporate the learning requirements and needs of the Printers. A complex balancing act is required to ensure practicality, vision and profitability all reside under one roof in harmony!

At the beginning of the year the group created a Terms of Reference document which set out its vision, objectives, scope and deliverables. This had to deliver a sustainable ‘action plan’ for creating and delivering new business opportunities to grow the business in a controlled and structured manner – in a marketplace that is constantly changing, the latest technology brings us ever faster and more efficient machinery and systems.

The idea was to identify Printer strengths and work on projects that would be high in Printer involvement and enjoyment, would generate additional income for the centre, and would fit into the current workload schedule. The whole centre was involved in identifying what would best fit these needs and it has been a huge challenge but one that we hope will bring benefits in the coming year. Objectives have been set for each quarter, with a ‘special offer’ designed to tempt new and old customers to try something different. These were such diverse concepts as ‘design a mug for Mother’s Day’ to ‘my summer holiday journal’, but the main thrust of breaking down the year into quarters was to ensure the team had sufficient time to design and implement ideas ahead of target dates and to streamline the processes from design to completion.

Marketing continued via displays at the Sports Centre and in Tina’s window, and staff also set out a stall at some local craft fairs including ones at Mandeville Hall, The Fox and of course, Burwell Carnival.

Overall it has been a challenging year and we expect the same for 2013/14, but with the combined dedication of staff, Printers and trustees, and the goodwill of customers, the Print Centre will continue to flourish.

17FINANCIALREVIEWFOR THE YEAR TO 31/03/2013STREETS CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS

The year to 31 March 2013 has been another good year for Burwell Community Print Centre. The total income for the year has increased to £238,067 compared to £216,556 in 2012. Total expenditure has increased again from £232,426 in 2012 to £243,650 in 2013. This produces an overall deficit of £5,583 compared to £15,870 in 2012. These figures include depreciation of £11,507 in 2013 and £10,797 in 2012. Removing the depreciation from expenditure shows that the charity made an overall surplus in 2013 of £5,924 compared to a deficit of £5,073 in 2012 before depreciation.

The level of grant income is £2,552 (2012 £2,522) and reflects the sustained income now being generated from charitable activities.

The income from Adult Social Care and Training this year is £103,574 (compared to £111,501 in 2012) and represents 44% of the total income (2012 51%). This income is derived from CRC Training Courses amounting to £9,741 (2012 £20,831) and income from Local Authority placements amounting to £93,833 (2012 £90,670).

Other fundraising activities carried out raised £2,057 compared to £1,321 in 2012.

The amount received from print work income has increased from £95,744 in 2012 to £124,187 in 2013, which represents 52% of total income in 2013 and 44% in 2012.

Wages and salaries are the largest proportion of expenditure, with only an increase from £145,885 in 2012 to £150,869 in 2013, and represents a decrease from 63% to 62% of total expenditure.

Printing costs have increased from £40,395 in 2012 to £42,792 in 2013 and as a result of the increased print work income, the gross profit percentage associated with the printing work has increased from 58% in 2012 to 66% in 2013.

At 31 March 2013 Burwell Community Print Centre had total accumulated funds of £235,149 with £94,186 being held as assets in the form of the building and equipment. The remaining £140,963 was made up of printing stock, amounts due from customers net of amounts due to suppliers and cash at bank.

The Trustees consider that this level of funding is sufficient to support the needs of Burwell Community Print Centre. They are, however, aware that the charity continues to be supported by grant aid and donations and appreciate the support of the local community when using the printing services on offer.

18TREASURER’S

REPORTFOR THE YEAR TO 31/03/2013

CELEBRATING 25YEARS 1988|2013

As we all know we have endured a difficult economic climate over the last few years, and last year was no exception. With this as the continuing background the financial performance of Burwell Print in 2012/13 has been outstanding. As reported in the Financial Review there are several significant achievements, in particular an increase of 30% in sales from Printing to £124,187. When combined with diligent management control of costs this has led to an increase in gross profit from Printing Work from 58% to 66% thereby reversing the trading loss of the previous year to a surplus of £5,924. This has enabled the business to strengthen the reserves to £140,963: a tremendous effort by the whole team.

Looking to the future, it is widely predicted that the UK economy is unlikely to show any significant recovery over the next 2-3 years. The challenges for Burwell Print are to continue to operate with positive trading surplus thereby protecting our reserves position, while at the same time accommodating on-going inflation in costs and endeavouring to maintain the Income from Training and Social Care programmes. Over the last six months a focus group with representatives from the Management Team and the Trustees, guided with the assistance of an independent consultant, have been developing a three year business plan for the Centre. In order to achieve the financial stability of continued annual trading surplus in the economic environment as envisaged over the next three years, one of the key targets is to increase Sales Income from Printing Work by 10% per annum. In May we held a brain-storming session involving staff and Trustees to initiate ideas and identify actions to address this challenge. I look forward to be able to report next year on the fruits of these labours.

Overall in 2012/13 the results have been excellent in difficult operational conditions, due to the continuing efforts and dedication of the staff.

As planned mid-year Tony Estall ended his tenure as Treasurer after 12 years. Tony has played a major role in helping Burwell Print reach the strong financial position we see today. Tony remains as ever an enthusiastic and dedicated trustee and invaluable member of the team.

21WHAT I LIKE ABOUT BURWELL PRINT

I have been coming to Burwell Print for three years now. I like the work. I like using the booklet maker and I like to work hard. My favourite jobs at Burwell Print are Foresters mail-outs. I like to put the labels and stamps on the envelopes and accurately keep a count of how many I have done. I also like collating and can put pages in order if they are wrong.

My favourite target is paying the Printers’ wages, as I like being responsible, and I can do this job independently.

Nick Griggs

HELLO TO NEW PRINTERS

Edward lives in Fulbourn with his mum. He is a very keen supporter of Cambridge United Football Club so we have lots of football chatter at break times on Mondays. Luke was attending Huntingdon Regional College last summer, when he tried out Burwell Print, for several “work taster” days. Luke then decided to become a permanent Printer and now works on Wednesdays.

Dan who lives in Fordham works two days a week and started in December last year.

James has joined us recently after finishing a course at Suffolk Regional College. James lives in Mildenhall and works with us two days a week.

GOODBYE

This year we said goodbye to one of our long serving Printers, Frances, who decided to retire from Burwell Print. Frances has been a Printer with us for 12 years and a dedicated, hard-working member of the team who rarely missed a working day. Thank you Frances, we wish you a long and happy retirement.

Josh, who attends Castle School, has been coming to us for work experience, one day a week, for several years. Josh left school this summer to go to Cambridge Regional College. Good Luck Josh and thank you for all your hard work.
