The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Accounting and Reporting by The 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 2015)
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The governing document of our Charity is rooted in providing food, clothes, life necessities and muchneeded care and welfare support. As a charity, we consider it an opportunity to look after people in need, keeping their dignity intact.
We provide all the items on Friday and Wednesday on the streets of London for those in need.
Friday Food Distribution
Our weekly food distribution, an uninterrupted service since our inception, operates from 5 pm to 7 pm every Friday. Volunteers extend this aid to over 200 guests, focusing on treating them with the utmost respect. We offer a range of high-quality food items, empowering our guests to choose according to their preferences. This approach ensures efficient use of resources and heightens guest satisfaction. We provide enough food to every guest so they can easily survive for the next 24 hours.
Wednesday Food Run Project
Every Wednesday, our Charity partner, Flemmings Mayfair Hotel, provides us 50 hot meals donated by Fleming Mayfair Hotel to the streets of London. This unique partnership prioritizes top-notch food quality, reflecting our commitment to the well-being of London's homeless population. This project has been run successfully since 2020.
Mobile Food BANK
Through this project, we've reached families in need directly at their doorsteps, providing essential items during challenging times, especially amid the pandemic.
Smart Food Bank
Our innovative approach includes supermarket prepaid gift cards, preserving the pride and dignity of families receiving aid while bypassing traditional logistical challenges.
Corporate volunteering
Our corporate volunteering programmed is unique here, attracting corporations to send their staff to volunteer with us. This Year, we attracted many big companies, including Kering Group (Gucci), who partnered to send their staff to volunteer with us. We also drew AND Digital, Siemens, IPSOS, Element, We have a vision that sharing and caring is the only formula that can change our social fabric, where each of us will be looked after by others, and it's happening now as big companies and professionals are coming forward to participate.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE, AND MANAGEMENT
Controlled by its constituent documents, Charity Begins at Home operates under a Declaration of Trust dated August 6, 2005. Our operations span London, Essex, Bedford, Manchester, and Birmingham. An appointed chairman leads a team of dedicated volunteers overseeing the Charity's management.
Charity Begins At Home Chairman's Report Year Ended 31 December 2022.
The past Year posed significant challenges for the charity sector, Especially post-pandemic and also due to the massive increase in energy prices, which ultimately affected the cost of living for all of us. The number of homeless people increased, so it was a challenge for us to improve our charitable activities.
Over 50,000 hot meals, food and various essentials were distributed with our signature hospitality to those in need. Additionally, we raised substantial funds, enabling us to make a significant impact despite being a volunteer-based organization.
My heartfelt gratitude goes to our outstanding volunteers and trustees for their unwavering support. By improving our resources, we aim to improve the quality of our services. We have expanded our reach and impact through collaborations with prestigious organizations and corporate volunteering sessions. We aim to empower the less fortunate through employment opportunities, training, and support. Let us envision a brighter year where we continue to make a meaningful difference together.

Charity Begins at Home Notes to the Unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022
Accounting policies
Basis of preparaton
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 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 2015); Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland ' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of investments which are included at market value.
The financial statements are prepared in pounds sterling which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these statements are rounded to the nearest £.
Preparaton of the accounts on a going concern basis
At the time of approving the accounts the Trustees have considered that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
Grants are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year to which they relate. Generally, grants have conditions attached that create a service requirement that must be met by the Charity and accordingly are included as incoming resources from charitable activities.
Resources expended are recognised in the period in which they are incurred. Resources expended include attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.
Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost including staff salaries relates directly to that activity.
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset either over its expected useful life which is estimated to be at 5 years (3 years in respect of computers) or over the period covered by the grant. receivable which may be three years or less.
Unrestricted funds are other incoming resources receivable without specified purpose, budgetary conditions or contracts and are available as general funds.
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the grantor.
Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of management and support costs.
