Message from CEO
I am deeply proud of the way St Andrew’s Community Network has continued to serve our communities during another challenging year. In a context of sustained financial pressure, rising poverty and increasing demand, our staff, volunteers and partners have responded with compassion, professionalism and an unwavering commitment to dignity and hope.
Alongside responding to immediate need, we have stayed focused on change. By strengthening advice capacity, reshaping food support and developing Angels Connect, we are tackling root causes and influencing the systems that drive poverty, with confidence in our ability to deliver lasting impact.
Rich Jones
CEO of St Andrew’s Community Network

A note from our Chair
During the reporting period, the Trustees undertook a strategic review of the organisation in order to ensure that it continues to operate in a sustainable, resilient and responsible manner, consistent with its charitable purposes and in the best interests of current and future beneficiaries. This review was informed by changing patterns of demand, funding volatility, and the financial pressures associated with the continued cost-of-living crisis.
As a result of this review, the Trustees implemented a restructure during the year, with a particular focus on aligning expenditure with sustainable income levels. This has included a reduction in staff costs and the difficult but necessary decision to discontinue the resourcing of community pantries. These decisions were not taken lightly; however, the Trustees concluded that continuing to fund pantries at the existing scale would place an unacceptable level of financial risk on the charity and undermine its long-term viability.
- Andy Pollard, Chair of Trustees

St Andrew’s Community Network
Our Mission & Vision
We have been supporting people in North Liverpool and surrounding areas for over 20 years. The Network is led by people who are passionate about locally rooted change.
We are driven by our principles to support the most vulnerable, to serve local communities and to bring life in all its fullness, supporting people of all faiths, and none.
Our Mission
Our Vision
To resource churches and community groups to design out poverty in the areas they serve.
To see our communities, cities and region set free from the life-changing consequences of poverty.
Our Values
Underpinning everything that we are involved in as a charity are our three, simple values: Compassion
Justice
Unity
We work hand in hand with We listen first and respond our communities, building with care, walking strength through shared alongside individuals - purpose and standing regardless of need - with together to demand better empathy, respect and for those impacted by understanding. poverty.
We believe everyone deserves fair and dignified access to support when they need it most, and we advocate on behalf of each individual as well as for systemic change to challenge the structures that drive inequality and hardship.
St Andrew’s Community Network
What We Do
We work in a context where our neighbourhoods, city, and wider region face financial strain, marked by entrenched poverty, an unstable labour market, complex welfare systems that are hard to navigate, and a prolonged era of organisational constraint and austerity.
In our development as a charity, since 2003, we have learned to shape a distinctive model of care that sets our provision apart within the region. We ensure that every person we encounter is able to access both immediate and longer-term opportunities that support stability, recovery, and progression.
Build Financial Resilience Build Food Security Belong To A Sustainable & Caring Community
By remaining focused on these three shared priorities, we provide more than relief from debt, more than access to food, and more than help navigating rising living costs. We are intentionally creating networks and communities in which the structural challenges of poverty and deprivation can be confronted, reduced, and ultimately overcome together locally.
Our community partners continue to build trust and nurture hope, especially where effective signposting has enabled people to connect with other organisations that can support them at each stage of journey.

St Andrew’s Community Network
What We Do
Continued...
Despite a clear and demonstrable record of impact, we remain committed to our vision of building a strong and resilient network of communities. This includes equipping people with the skills to deliver debt and welfare benefits advice, operate community food spaces, and establish local networks where a broad range of support can be offered by and for each community.
Our remarkable team of volunteers once again made a significant contribution to almost every aspect of our work. Numbering almost 300 , these committed individuals serve their communities in many different ways - from providing debt advice, running foodbank and pantry spaces, maintaining high standards within our warehouse, to driving, loading, and supporting conversations with creditors. We simply could not operate without their dedication.
The value of volunteer support extends far beyond any financial measure. Volunteers regularly listen to deeply challenging stories, offer compassion to those in crisis, and provide reassurance and dignity. Without them, both our organisation and the communities we serve would be profoundly diminished.
The trustees have given due consideration to Charity Commission guidance when determining the activities undertaken by the charity.

Our 2024 - 25 Achievements & Performance
We continued to serve our communities through the approach that defines our work — strengthening financial resilience and food security while fostering sustainable communities that enable lasting change. In response to rising demand, the Network evolved further, extending our reach and introducing new programmes to support people across the communities we serve.
As in previous years, 2024–25 proved equally demanding for the Network, as ongoing cost-of-living pressures continued to affect our communities, resulting in heightened financial strain and a sustained increase in demand for support services.
The most significant development during this period has been the continued advancement of our Angels Connect initiative.
The Angels Connect model draws on more than 20 years of experience in delivering communitybased money advice to people facing financial difficulty. The platform enables anyone, anywhere, to connect individuals experiencing debt or challenges navigating the welfare system with timely, accessible, and potentially life-changing advice.

St Andrew’s Community Network
Income Maximisation
During 2024/25, our income maximisation team continued to deliver welfare benefits advice across the communities we support. They assisted more than 899 people , including individuals finding the benefits system difficult to navigate, those needing help with applications, and those unsure of their entitlement. This work strengthened financial resilience within households and communities, helping to reduce the risk of future financial crisis.

Andy’s* Story
We first met Andy after he was referred into both our debt and income maximisation teams by a Money Angel in one of our foodbank centres. He was on long-term sick from work and found himself struggling.
He had nearly £4,500 worth of debt and was in financial crisis. Our debt advisor worked with him, and Andy attended an initial appointment with our team to discuss the situation and how we can help moving forward. We are currently working with Andy to help him manage his debt and move towards a more financially secure future.
To provide further support and help avoid future crises, our benefits advisor completed a Council Tax Support application to help ease his financial issues.

Training
Our web-based training comprises of a 30-minute training video The training has been developed for anyone who wishes to increase their knowledge so that they can give specified guidance to those going through a tough time with their finances.
Resources
The resources portal is regularly updated with fact-sheets and third party resources. As a Money Angel you will be encouraged via our social networking platform "Angels Connect' to check the portal each time a new resource is published.
Referral
All Money Angels are given access to a simple referral form bespoke to the community and money advice service that they are working with. We work with advice services to ensure that locality relevant data is collected at the point a referral is made by a Money Angel.
The progression of the Angels Connect initiative has been our most notable development this year, with the unique model training community members to provide specified guidance and direct referrals into specialist debt and welfare benefits advisors to those going through a tough time with their finances.
In Liverpool, through this initiative:
183 referrals were made to our debt and income maximisation teams 160 of these referrals came via a Money Angel placed in a foodbank, while 23 came through our community food spaces 24 Money Angels were trained and equipped to provide guidance and direct referrals to expert advice in their local community setting

This period also marked a point of reflection for the Network, as we reviewed how effectively our pantry provision was supporting people to move beyond crisis and towards longer-term stability.
After careful review, 18 months of work to stabilise the organisation, the trustees made the difficult decision to discontinue direct resourcing of pantries during this reporting period. This decision was not taken lightly. It was driven by the need to protect the long-term viability of the Network and to refocus our limited resources on approaches that more directly address the root causes of poverty – particularly access to debt and welfare benefits advice.

Financial Review
Total income received for unrestricted funds was £515,705 (2024: £658,720) as detailed in the financial statements. This represents a decrease of 22% compared with the previous year. This was due primarily to decreased food donations.
Total income received for Restricted Funds was £203,551 (2024: £326,333) which consisted entirely of donations & grants.
Costs of running the Charity were £916,214 (2024: £1,188,963). The main reason for the decrease compared to the previous year was decreased staffing costs as various employees left the team and there were also role changes. Pantry costs also decreased and various other direct costs had decreased in the year.
A total of £ Nil (2024: £3,530) was expended in the year on various capital items.
Total Unrestricted Income
£515,705
Total Restricted Income
£203,551
Cost of Running the Charity

Overall, there was a net deficit for the year of £195,726 (2024: £158,540) arising from unrestricted funds, and a deficit of £1,232 (2024: deficit of £45,370) from restricted funds, which accumulated to a total deficit of £196,958 (2024: deficit £203,910).
When the deficit for the year was subtracted from the total funds brought forward of £583,403 this resulted in funds carried forward of £386,445 of which £50,200 is represented by fixed assets.

Financial Review Continued...
Bank and cash balances in at the end of the year amounted to £342,568 (2024: £533,888).
Total Unrestricted Income
£515,705
The available free reserves amount to £97,227. These are unrestricted reserves that are not designated and are excluding the fixed assets.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

Plans for the Future 2025/ 26
Building Financial Resilience
Building Food Security
We recognise that effective support for people facing financial crisis relies on advice being accessible within local communities and embedded in places people trust. Over the coming year, we will further develop locally rooted people supporting others from their own communities as a feature. This work will continue to be known as Angels Connect and Money Angels.
We continue to acknowledge that Foodbanks will remain a necessary part of the food aid system for the foreseeable future. Like an Accident and Emergency department within a hospital, there will always be demand for immediate crisis response. Looking ahead, we are committed to ensuring that everyone accessing our Foodbanks is supported to progress swiftly from initial triage towards recovery, stability, and independence.
==> picture [106 x 105] intentionally omitted <==
Influencing Systemic Change
In the same way, we recognise that the welfare and advice system itself requires reform if it is to support lasting recovery rather than prolonged instability. St Andrew’s Community Network is committed not only to providing frontline advice and advocacy, but to influencing the wider system so that it becomes more accessible, preventative and humane. This includes strengthening advice capacity, improving pathways into support, and working collaboratively with partners and policymakers to address the structural drivers that push individuals into crisis in the first place.
Sustained Support
==> picture [105 x 106] intentionally omitted <==
We remain committed to working at governance level to ensure sustained, coordinated and compassionate support for the most vulnerable individuals and families in our communities.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of St Andrew's Community Network (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2025.

In carrying out my examination
I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.

-
2) the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3 the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4) the financial statements 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 financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

1) Accounting policies
Charity information
St Andrew's Community Network is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 16 Larkhill Lane, Clubmoor, Liverpool, Merseyside, L13 9BR.
1.1) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2) Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3) Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued...) For the Year Ended 31 March 2025
1) Accounting policies (Continued)
1.5) Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
1.6) Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures and fittings 25% on cost Computers 25% on cost Motor vehicles 25% on reducing balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued...) For the Year Ended 31 March 2025
1) Accounting policies (Continued)
1.7) Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8) Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
1.9) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.10) Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued...) For the Year Ended 31 March 2025
1) Accounting policies (Continued)
1.10) Financial instruments (continued) Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1) Accounting policies (Continued)
1.11) Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.12) Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
.
2) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
