## **Structure Governance and Management** 

Good Food Matters is a charitable company limited by guarantee, governed by the Memorandum and Articles, incorporated  on  8 April  2005,  and  registered  as  Good  Food Matters  under  registration  number  1111235  and  company number 05418543. 

## **Liability of Members** 

The charitable company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable  company  and  is  governed  under  its  Articles  of Association.  In  the  event  of  the  company  being  wound  up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1. Trustees are directors for the purposes of the Companies Act and Trustees for the purposes of the Charities Act. They are also the members. 

## **Appointment of Directors (who are also Trustees)** 

Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association members of the Trustee Board are elected to serve from their  appointment  until  the next AGM. At each  annual general  meeting  one-third  of  the  Directors  or  the  nearest multiple  of  three  must  retire  from  office.  They  can  offer themselves for re-election at the next Annual General Meeting. 

The Memorandum  & Articles  of Association  allow  continuing trustees to appoint additional trustees. 

## **Trustee Recruitment, Induction and Training** 

Good Food Matters (GFM) have an open recruitment process. 

Those who apply are asked to complete an application form. Once received, the Chair will have an informal chat then invite **ANNUAL REPORTS AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 



them  to  meet  some  of  the  Board  and  the  CEO  to  access suitability. If agreed, they will then be appointed to the Board subject to references and checks according to our Memorandum and Articles of Association. 

Candidates are asked to consider and declare any existing or potential conflicts of interest (including with related parties). As GFM works with children, young people, and vulnerable people a DBS (Disclosure and Barring) check will be required for those who  meet  these  groups.  In  the  light  of  the  checks  and declarations being satisfactory, the proposed Trustees will go forward for appointment. 

All relevant parties such as funders, the charity's accountants are  notified  of  the  new  appointments.  There  is  no  formal training programme for newly appointed trustees. 

## **Board Meetings** 

The  Board  has  a  quarterly  meeting  format  with  additional meetings where necessary. Further support to the management team  is  provided  in  writing  and  through  meetings  with  the Chair. 

The challenge for the staff and Board is to keep the Centre up and running in accordance with GFM's aims and objectives. Our priority  in  the  New  Year  will  be  to  develop  a  strategy  and business plan to ensure sustainability. 

## **Responsibilities of the Board** 

The Trustees (who are also the Directors) are responsible for preparing  the  Trustees'  Annual  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  fiscal  year.  Under  company  law  the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of- 

**ANNUAL REPORTS AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 



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  these  financial  statements,  the  trustees  are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 

- Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and produce. 

- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

**ANNUAL REPORTS AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 



information and to establish that the Independent Examiner is aware of that information.

- Encourage the development of healthier lifestyles through the provision of practical training, education, info to be aware and support on nutrition, health, and wellbeing  to  ensure  said  people  develop  more  positive attitudes  to  health  and  are  equipped  to  make  more informed health and dietary choices leading to an improvement in their quality of life.

## **CHAIRS REPORT** 

I  cannot  thank  the  staff  and  volunteers  enough  who  have supported Good Food Matters during the past year. 

This year under Amandas direction the Charity is on a more secure footing and there are some exciting projects ahead such as the refugee work, elders cooking club and RHS Chealsea Flower show. 

I  want  to  record  my  thanks  to the  team  for  their  continue support  and  sheer  determination  ,  Angela  our  Community Kitchen Manager who keeps connected with all our volunteers and  learners  ,  whilst  managing  the  complexities  of  running multiple  programs,  always  being  positive  and  ensuring  a wonderful healthy meal is available  , Ben who is such a force of nature leading our MENSHED program, and being such a great ambassador for GFM and Ernesto who as always works exceptionally hard in the garden keeping everything growing and managing the site. 

We could not do it without our amazing volunteers such as Colin  who  manages  the  corporate  events  and  Donna  who supports the summer programs and many more! 

Somehow the charity, with its supporters, managed to keep turning, and we are proud that they served the local community, responding to need swiftly and with compassion. It has highlighted what a great asset Good Food Matters is to the local community and indeed the whole borough in these times of extreme need. 

We  look  ahead  to  the  coming  year  recognising  that  times continue to be incredibly challenging locally with the impact of Croydon Council's financial pressures but also nationally as we all compete for funding to keep going. 

**ANNUAL REPORTS AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 



Thanks also to my fellow trustees, for their continued support. **CAROLE SHORT, CHAIR** 


## **DIRECTORS REPORT** 

Hello again, 

There is an incredibly positive feel as I write this, firstly I am so grateful for my amazing staff team Angela, Ben Elliott Asur and Ernesto who we could not do with out and the core volunteers and  trustees  who  make  running  Good  Food  Matters  such  a privilege.  Colin  as  always  is  amazing  as  our  liaison  for Corporate Volunteering and manages our amazing connections to  incredible  companies  with  amazing  CSR  focus  which  is demonstrated  in  our  repeat  bookings.  This  generates  both unrestricted funds and much needed support on site managing the  grounds.  We  have  strong  connections  now  with  local property  company  SPRING  and  monthly  volunteering  and support from the very community focused COMMUNITY FIBRE. Thank you all. 

Our MENSHED received continuation funding through the CCG, and we are seeing a thriving member led group develop. We were delighted to run a pilot program supporting newly arrived asylum-seeking families and funded through Reedham Children’s Trust and we look forward to working more closely with Reedham Charity and are excited that our Refugee work has  been  recognised  by  CHOOSE  LOVE  charity  and  we  are developing a more focused provision. Most exciting of all is a Chelsea flower show garden in development with the awardwinning Jane Porter and the incredible CHOOSE LOVE charity and sponsored by PROJECT GIVING BACK which will enhance our  program  for  Croydon  Borough  o  culture  that  we  are planning as food and nature are at the heart of all our shared culture and create a beautiful permanent garden of sanctuary here in New Addington. 

**ANNUAL REPORTS AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 



The local organisations in New Addington work so well together. In a hyper competitive 3rd sector New Addington is an Oasis of harmony where we just all get on with it but can pick up the phone to share or ask for help agilely responding to local need. Croydon Council continues to face financial challenges so we will we continue to look out of borough for funding, support and partnership working across our themes of work. Our core costs, utilities,  transport,  and  staples  continue  to  rise  so  we  will remain prudent, build resilience, and look forwards.

## **RISK AND MANAGEMENT** 

The Board monitors risk regularly to ensure that action is taken, or systems are in place to manage identified areas of risk. GFM continues to review its procedures and policies to ensure that they are consistent with best practices. 

The charity focuses on the following major areas of risk: 

Future Funding: financial sustainability is the most significant risk, and much management and trustee time is devoted to developing a pipeline of future funding. 

Financial Control: Management produce regular and detailed financial statements. 

**ANNUAL REPORTS AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 



Fire Risk: We have a fire alarm system; a fire system contacts in place to check alarms and extinguishers bi-annually in line with  guidance  and  a  Fire  Risk Assessment  that  is  reviewed annually or sooner as required. 

Health and Safety: The premises have the required standard of level of hygiene needed to sustain the current usage of the premises. Health and Safety is on each Board agenda to ensure that all aspects are considered (including work in the garden and with machinery). Our Health and Safety policy including COSHH is reviewed annually. 

Disclosure  and  Barring  Checks:  volunteers,  staff  and  those trustees who are in contact with service users are subject to periodic enhanced DBS checks. 

Staff  and  Volunteer  Training:  All  staff  and  volunteers  are professionally trained, and a new appraisal system is in place. Staff are all first aid and MH first aid trained. New polices for Modern Slavery and Menopause were approved by the board. 

Safeguarding: Proper procedures and controls are in place to be able to identify and action instances of alleged or suspected abuse that comes to the attention of Good Food Matters. A key element of the procedures of the on-going annual training of all Trustees, Staff, and Volunteers in the Safeguarding and Protection of Young People. 

COVID safety is a priority and Good Food Matters manage a Covid  safe  working  practice  partly  due  to  our  strong  food hygiene and outdoor hygiene management.

## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31 March 2023. 

## Responsibilities and basis of report 

As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions  given  by  the  Charity  Commission  under  section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## Independent examiner's statement 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters  have  come  to  my  attention  in  connection  with  the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; 

## or 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations  2008  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. 

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 to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## 1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF ACCOUNTS 

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities, Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities  preparing  their  accounts  in  accordance  with  the Financial  Reporting  Standard  for  Smaller  Entities  (FRSSE) (effective  January  2015)  and  with  the  requirements  of  the Charities act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006. 

## 1.2 FUND ACCOUNTING 

Unrestricted Funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. 

Restricted Funds are subject to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of a grant. 

## 1.3 INCOME 

Income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to categories of income. Voluntary Income by way of donations and grants are included in the statement of  financial  activities  on  a  receivable  basis  when  evidence exists to confirm the certainty of receipt. 

## 1.4 EXPENDITURE 

Expenditure is included on an accruals basis and includes VAT because the charity is not registered for VAT. It also includes depreciation on the tangible assets of the charity. Resources expended  are  recognised  in  the  period  in  which  they  are incurred. They are allocated to the activity where the costs relate directly to that activity. Governance costs comprise costs involving  the  public  accountability  of  the  charity  and  its 

**ANNUAL REPORTS AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 



compliance  with  regulation  and  good  practice.  These  costs include costs related to statutory audit and legal fees. 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 (Cont’d)** 

## 1.6 TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS 

All fixed assets are depreciated over the 10-year lease of the land  on  a  straight-line  basis.  The  rate  of  depreciation  is calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life. 

## 1.7 TRANSFERS BETWEEN FUNDS 

Trustees  have  the  authority  to  transfer  amounts  out  of  the unrestricted fund into the restricted fund when required. 

## 1.8 RESERVES 

The  charity's  accounting  policy  is  to  develop  an  operating surplus to maintain three months running costs in unrestricted reserves.
