TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT INCORPORATING THE DIRECTOR’S REPORT

INTRODUCTION

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011 and 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 published in October 2019.

OUR OBJECTIVES

Feed The Hungry, UK exists to relieve poverty and the distress caused by it, including, but not limited to, the collection and distribution of food, clothing and other relief items in local communities in areas around the world as the trustees may consider suitable.

To advance the Christian faith in such parts of the world as the Trustees may from time to time think fit and other such purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales and are connected with the charitable work of the Charity.

FULFILLING OUR AIMS

To assist the achievement of these objects, we aim to bring impact in these communities in five distinct but related strategic ways:

  1. We provide food to those communities in greatest need overseas and, more recently, in the UK (through our foodbank and Community Pantries)

  2. We help create projects which will ultimately become self sufficient

  3. We provide environments and facilities to care for and educate the young

  4. We provide clothing, relief pack and other humanitarian aid to those displaced by disaster or conflict

  5. We assist in supporting teams on the ground with ministry and pastoral support and care

We achieve these aims and objectives by :

  1. Receiving donations from individuals and organisations through appeals using radio, newsletters, website, social media and packing events.

  2. Creating partnerships with schools, churches and corporate entities to support the work of Feed The Hungry, UK. “NOUR:SH” food packing programmes are designed to encourage engagement with the projects of Feed The Hungry, UK by picking and packing the essential ingredients needed for the charity’s humanitarian aid programmes around the world.

  3. Developing partnerships with other charitable organisations to leverage expertise and synergy in the delivery of humanitarian aid.

  4. Providing financial assistance to Feed The Hungry, UK projects in Zambia, Nepal, Bolivia, Kenya and Zimbabwe as examples and supporting the development and build of community farms, orphanages, schools and other programmes intended to create sustainable programmes.

MAIN ACTIVITIES OF THE CHARITY DURING THE YEAR

Feed The Hungry, UK consolidated the growth achieved in the previous years whilst exploring new opportunities to fulfil its long term aspiration to work with communities and develop holistic solutions with the long-term aim of eliminating poverty.

The interventions required with each project varies but the diverse and creative talents of the Feed The Hungry, UK team enables the charity to respond to each situation in a timely and innovative fashion. The work of the charity has been consolidated into 5 project areas:

Each of these project areas, and examples of the work undertaken, is described in more detail in this report.

This includes his regular work in the school and also disaster relief, in response to an earthquake and severe flooding in the past 6 years. The food that is provided by Feed The Hungry and served at Innovative Academy is all sourced or grown locally through a farming programme established with Pastor Ruben. With support from Feed The Hungry, Ruben feeds the children from the farm and sells the extra food to support the school.

IMPACT REPORT

In May 2024, Gavin Kibble MBE walked over 200 miles from the West Coast to East Coast of England to raise money to build a new school block at The Lukkomano Christian Academy in Zambia. The walk took 13 days and during that time, Gavin was accompanied by staff, trustees and friends of Feed The Hungry UK for different legs of the journey.

HOW TO BUILD A a

Following his Coast-to-Coast Fundraising Walk 3 months ago for the Lukkomano Academy, Mazabuka, Gavin reflects on the walk and the building of the new school building.

The walls have been plastered and painted! This was the latest WhatsApp just received from our local Project Director, Hammes Kannodo. His daily update was accompanied by a flood of pictures of classrooms almost ready for use.

Back in February 2019, I was involved in a school build in Burkina Faso. Along with a small team of friends, my small contribution was to dig the foundations. The actual construction of the school buildings took many months from that point. I returned to see the finished structure in October that year. The sound of nearly 1,000 children singing and worshipping God in that space was deafening.

children being educated at desks outside in the hot sun. Could you imagine our children being educated like that in the UK?

Your generosity has made this happen - this is a project which will not only influence the life chances of the children at the Lukkomano Academy today, but for many years to come. £29,000 has got us a classroom built for 200 children but we still need to provide them with the equipment to ensure that these children become the world changers that Zambia so desperately needs.

In May this year, as I finished the Coast-to-Coast walk in Robin Hoods Bay, Gwyn was breaking ground for the new classrooms in Mazabuka. As I write this the building is structurally complete, it has electricity, the walls have been rendered with plaster, and school furniture is being constructed. Compared to Burkina Faso, the project’s progress has been nothing short of spectacular. But the impact will be no less extraordinary.

Looking back at pictures sent from Mazabuka before the build started, I was struck by one of

Each week, Isaac and Anali Butcher, who head up Mission Bolivia, take food to families and individuals living on the streets of Santa Cruz. Their motivation: to share the love of Christ with people who are hurting and in need.

"There's quite a lot of kids, teenagers, mums - there's no dads present - and they're surviving by trying to sell stuff and beg from cars on the junctions" , shares Isaac. "It was a beautiful moment we shared with them with food, and just getting to know them. It's all about relationships."

Feed The Hungry UK has been supporting the Butcher family since they relocated from the UK to Bolivia in 2021.

Isaac and Anali are deeply committed to relational ministry; giving people hope, and helping them move from only just surviving, to a place of significance.

This Harvest we’re collecting money to support the incredible work of Mission Bolivia, who have constructed a rehabilitation centre for young people, just outside Santa Cruz.

The money raised through the Harvest appeal will help towards the completion of this centre, as well as providing the much needed food for those they’re serving.

DISASTER RELIEF PROGRAMMES

UKRAINE

Feed The Hungry, UK has continued to support people living in Ukraine with food, working in partnership with Pastor Yan Hrosu in Izmail and Alin Panican of Bread of Life Ministries in Romania.

The regular supply of food coming from Feed The Hungry has amounted to over 2,500 tonnes of aid – over 156 artic lorry-loads – from all of our centres in Europe and USA; quite a staggering amount of food.

SURVIVING THE NEXT STAGE

As the war enters a new destructive phase, Gwyn wanted to capture how and what the people in Ukraine were going through. As with many disasters and wars, it’s the young children, the old, the poor, the isolated and broken families that are suffering the most.

Pastor Yan and his family have opened up their home for food distribution, and the church as a home to 40 families. Many of them volunteer to help with food distribution to isolated old people in remote villages; people who do not have financial support and families struggling with the loss of fathers on the frontline.

While Gwyn was in Ukraine, the announcement of 40 to 50 year olds being called to enlist sent shockwaves across the country. This was very apparent as food was unloaded off the trucks; the main participants in helping were women and retired older men, lifting boxes of rice meals, bread rolls, crisps and tinned food of the trucks into the store room.

The food distribution to nearby villages is given out from a hot soup van, so there is the sense of community and connectivity with those who have received the food. There is also a presentation of the Gospel and opportunity to take away Bibles and New Testaments for Children.

It’s through these opportunities where the team can connect with families who are struggling.

EMERGENCY INTERVENTIONS

A local school teacher came up to the team to ask for an intervention for an expectant mother and three children who had no financial support and were in danger of being split up. Pastor Yan was happy to give not only food but also clothing and hygiene packs to help in the situation.

Feed The Hungry would like to express heartfelt gratitude to the supporters and donors who have shown love to those being served and upheld in Ukraine.

UK EMERGENCY COMMUNITY FOOD PANTRIES

Community Pantries provide access to food based on a membership fee of £5 per visit. This dignified shopping experience is backed up by incommunity support from agencies such as Citizens Advice, Helping Hands and Family Information Services as example.

COVENTRY FOODBANK

The cost-of-living crisis has continued to impact both donations to Coventry Foodbank and the demand for emergency food in Coventry. This has, for a second year, resulted in limits being imposed on the number of times that a foodbank can be accessed within a 6 month window.

A Mobile Pantry van travels to small rural communities where, for users, travelling to a large supermarket is difficult and expensive.

A large grant at the beginning of the year enabled food to be purchased, reducing the reliance on public food donations. However, this grant is time-limited and not a long-term solution.

Due to funding coming to an end, several Mobile Community Pantry locations run by Feed The Hungry were closed in 2024. Community Pantries operate in Lillington, New Arley, Wembrook, Burbage, Camphill and Earl Shilton. Further funding is being sought to continue this important work across Warwickshire and Leicestershire.

As a result of the limits imposed, and because of the excellent work of Pathfinder, the number of people receiving food support dropped from 23,000 in 2023 to 21,000 in 2024.

PATHFINDER

NOUR:SH

Pathfinder is a support service that sits within Coventry foodbank, and works with users to identify the root causes that have led them to need to use the foodbank. From them, Pathfinder helps users to find additional support for their specific situation. This includes signposting using the application, STEP, providing a volunteer run callback service, and for the first time in 2024, an employability coach has helped to support people back into work.

NOUR:SH is a project that covers a range of highnutrition food products, and the programmes from which those products are made or packaged. This includes NOUR:SH rice meal packs, which are packed by volunteers across the UK, and also food created in the commercial kitchen based at The Halo Centre in Coventry.

At the beginning of 2024, a trial was run where soups were prepared several times each week in the NOUR:SH kitchen. The soups were made using end-of-life donated food or vegetables grown in the gardens at the back of The Halo Centre. Orders for these soups could be placed online, as a way of generating income for other Feed The Hungry, UK projects. Although only running for a few weeks, the trial demonstrated that it would be possible to develop this concept into an small business or social enterprise.

The new project, entitled “My Pathway” , helps people to develop their CVs, find voluntary work experience, and in come cases, enter into paid employment. Although in it’s early stages, My Pathway is another service that will ultimately help to reduce the demand on the foodbank.

All together, it has been estimated that by the end of 2024, Pathfinder had signposted clients to agencies and support with a client benefit of around £1.4M since 2022.

IMPACT REPORT

THE GREAT COVENTRY y y=: ra a . FOODBANKATHON 2.0 : y AT ai -

Over the next two years, Feed The Hungry will engage UK schools in food packing events, lessons and assemblies, aiming to teach about international social justice as well as taking practical steps to tackle world hunger.

Feed The Hungry UK’s CEO, Gwyn Williams explained, “Every day, millions of children living in poverty face the stark reality of having to provide food for their families and themselves. Feed The Hungry’s school feeding programme enables this cycle of poverty to be broken; children are educated and their future is transformed through the opportunities this affords them. That’s the miracle of these million meals; thousands of lives transformed through a simple intervention.”

Businesses and community groups are also invited to help support the school food packing events by contributing financially for a local school to be able to take part.

“Running a food packing event carries a cost to it” , explains Chris Edwards, Operations Director for Feed The Hungry UK. “This is a powerful way for

local businesses to support their schools and communities; by paying for a Million Meal Miracle day to take place. As a former Headteacher, I’ve seen the impact that these educational experiences have on students. This sort of practical learning goes deep, building compassionate qualities in pupils; caring character-building that goes beyond academia.”

Additionally, each school taking part in the Million Meal Miracle will be offered the opportunity to have the Schools Team from Feed The Hungry come to them and deliver lessons and assemblies, aimed at Key Stage 2 and 3 students, which teach about injustice and social responsibility.

“In this increasingly connected and interdependent world, it’s never been more important for students in the UK to be internationally engaged” , shares Chris. “We need the next generation to understand how their actions and decisions can help to impact the lives of others for the better. What greater way to do that than having something you’ve contributed to, like packing food, being shared on the other side of the world.”

One of the key events in May 2024 for Feed The Hungry’s largest UK project, Coventry foodbank, was The Great Coventry Foodbankathon. The 21 mile route between the 15 foodbank centres around the city of Coventry, was walked and run by sponsored participants to raise money for the foodbank.

On Bank Holiday Monday, 6th May 2024, the running team began at the bleary-eyed time of 6am, to avoid both the heat of the day and the rain, forecast for the afternoon. The starting location was at the western-most foodbank centre, St. Stephen’s Church, Canley, where a few early-risers saw the Foodbankathon begin.

At the more sociable time of 9am, walkers donned food-themed costumes to begin their trek across the city, following the same route. ITV Central News and the BBC slowed progress slightly, as the walking team were interviewed about Coventry foodbank and asked why they were dressed as carrots and bananas.

As the clock struck 9.30am, the running team reached the end location, completing the Foodbankathon in just three and a half hours. Rich Smith, who led the running team, explained, “Taking part in the Foodbankathon was a great, albeit challenging, experience. When I finished at St. Catherine's at 9.30am, I was hungry - I'd not really eaten before starting the run - but my wife had brought food for me at the finish line. I had the option to eat, but there are people around Coventry who don't have that choice.

“In the past year, we had a guy called Dave who came to the foodbank. He's a father with three children and the main earner in his household. He lost his job unexpectedly, and while he had savings to cover bills for a while, his family were struggling to afford food.

“Coventry foodbank were able to help him with food parcels for a few weeks until he managed to find another job. That's the gap we're standing in - offering support for those who are in food crisis, often through no fault of their own."

The walking team continued their costumed jaunt to each foodbank centre, stopping briefly in Coventry city centre on the way to raise awareness of what the foodbank was doing to support people in the city.

The youngest Foodbankathon participant, Phoebe aged 10, was walking with her carrot-clad mum, Ali, who shared, “There are people who don’t have carrots; there are people who don’t have food, and we want to support people to move themselves out of food poverty.”

After a long 9 hours, the intrepid walking team reached the end of the Foodbankathon route. The journey had taken them around the whole city and over £3,000 had been raised for the foodbank.

We are so grateful to everyone who participated - raising money and awareness of the work of Coventry foodbank.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

In these unpredictable and challenging times, the voluntary sector is experiencing significant issues with raising funds. For many organisations, the 'perfect storm' created by funding falling, costs increasing, and demand climbing remains. And, with the public under significant financial pressures of their own, charities are feeling the strain and face increased competition for every pound.

In the face of these challenges, Feed The Hungry, UK restructured its workforce in February 2025, prioritised and reduced its overseas support. This has ensured financial stability in the short term, and, with its very active focus on corporate engagement, is re-establishing a firm basis to expand its impact in the future.

Feed The Hungry, UK’s interventions continue to ensure:

In this way, we can enable people and communities to transition from survival to significance.

INTERNATIONAL AID PROGRAMMES

Feed The Hungry, UK continues to support projects around the world. Through the six Feed The Hungry offices, the flagship project “Every Child, Every Day” reached over 626,000 children across 27 countries. Specifically, Feed The Hungry, UK continues to support feeding programmes in Zimbabwe, in partnership with The Joseph Foundation.

However, the future International Aid strategy is to try and move projects away from imported food and financial support, towards creating sustainable economies. In this regard, it has continued to develop the educational facilities of The Lukkomano Christian Academy in Mazabuka, Zambia, and explore larger scale educational programmes in farming in both locations.

Feed The Hungry, UK continues to support the work of Isaac and Anneli Butcher, who are developing a Children’s Centre in Bolivia. We partner with Pastor Ruben Rasaili from Mission for Tribes and Nations in Nepal, specifically around feeding programmes, an orphanage, and an extensive borehole drilling programme. The charity has been exploring partnerships for community development in Somaliland.

DISASTER AND EMERGENCY RELIEF PROGRAMMES

UKRAINE

We have continued to work with our partners in Romania (Bread of Life Ministries) and in southern Ukraine to provide emergency food relief into front line communities, and to assist refugees through safe houses in western Ukraine.

COVENTRY FOODBANK AND PATHFINDER

Our Pathfinder signposting service continues to expand providing support and guidance to hundreds of foodbank clients. Pathfinder utilises an AI driven system called ‘STEP’, which maintains accurate up-to-date information on the entire local support mechanism and makes that information easily available to clients based on a simple selection criteria. The success of the Pathfinder project is that it demonstrates that it is possible to provide people with the resources necessary to resolve the issues that brought them to a foodbank or food pantry in the first place.

COMMUNITY PANTRIES

With the fourth and final year of funding from Warwickshire County Council, The Community Pantries service has continued in Nuneaton, New

Arley and Leamington Spa. Now very much established as part of these communities, the services support hundreds of people struggling to make ends meet. We are working with local actors to ensure a successful transition into local community ownership. This transition has already been successfully piloted at our pantry in Burbage, which transferred to local management in April 2025.

NOUR:SH AND THE COMMERCIAL KITCHEN

Feed The Hungry, UK is partnering with Ashley Community and Housing to deliver tailored training catering support and training to migrants and refugees with a right to remain in the UK. By establishing and incubator kitchen, we will enable small catering businesses to be established and thrive.

Large contracts with local authorities and the development of strong corporate relationships have also provided a level of financial stability sufficient to significantly grow the infrastructure of the organisation which has enabled a major expansion of operations over the last 2 years.

Feed The Hungry, UK relies on a mix of employed staff and fundraising agencies to raise funds. They adhere to strict guidelines, to ensure that the donor experience is a clear, fair, enjoyable and unobtrusive experience. Every possible measure is taken to ensure that personal data is stored correctly to comply with current legislation and, in so doing, has signed up to receive suppression under the Fundraising Preference Service.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit including the guidance "Public Benefit: Running a Charity (PB2)". The Charity relies on donations, both financial and Gifts in Kind, to cover its operating costs and to provide the food and other goods to the end beneficiaries. The public benefit is to the people who live in areas where hunger occurs due to famine, conflict, natural disasters or poverty, be that in the UK, Europe, Africa or other areas of the world.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Income from donations of £1,993,874 decreased on 2023 (£2,422.123). Overall income decreased to £2,928,948 (2023 : £3,146,777 ) and the deficit for the year was £64,123 (2023: deficit of £1,263).

Internationally, Gifts in Kind consists of packed meals, clothing, medical and school supplies which are then shipped to our various project sites for distribution to those in need. In the UK Gifts in Kind consists of food donations to Coventry foodbank.

RESERVES POLICY

It is the aim of the Trustees to hold in general reserves sufficient cash to equate to one months' running costs plus an additional month of salary costs.

At the year end, free reserves, being unrestricted funds of £223,488 (2023: £373,819) less fixed assets of £51,843 (2023 : £56,544) totalled £171,645 (2023: £317,275)

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF FEED THE HUNGRY, UK FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31[ST] DECEMBER 2024

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF FEED THE HUNGRY, UK FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2024

OPINION

We have audited the financial statements of Feed The Hungry, UK (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31st December 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities

under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

OTHER INFORMATION

The other information comprises the information included in the Report of the Directors/Trustees, other than the financial statements and our Auditors report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Report of the Directors/Trustees. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether

24

25

the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

The information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Report of the Directors/Trustees: or

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES

As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities statement set out on page 20, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

The audit process includes an assessment of the entity’s risk environment, through enquiry of and discussion with management and those charged with governance, including an assessment of any

key laws and regulations with which the charitable company must comply in the ordinary course of its operations.

Additionally, the overall risks of irregular transactions occurring are assessed following our observations and confirmation of the design and implementation of management's controls. Whilst we are mindful of these risks, our audit focus is geared towards the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements as a whole.

As such, our procedures cannot guarantee that all transactions have been fully compliant with all relevant laws and regulations, including those regulations relating to fraud, as our procedures are not designed to detect all instances of noncompliance. By definition, the risk of our detection of non-compliance is greater where compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

USE OF OUR REPORT

This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company's trustees as a body, for audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. pu[ssid]

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Feed The Hungry, UK is an incorporated charity, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on Page 2.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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 2019)', 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.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

INCOME

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Gifts in kind donated for resale are included at fair value, being the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale. Where estimating the fair value is practicable upon receipt it is recognised in stock and 'Income from other trading activities'. Upon sale, the value of the stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds are recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Where it is impracticable to fair value the items due to the volume of low value items they are not recognised in the financial statements until they are sold. This income is recognised within 'Income from other trading activities'.

The charity receives donations of food and clothing which are then distributed as part of a relief programme. Donated goods are valued at their fair value to the charity.

Where practicable, gifts in kind donated for distribution to the beneficiaries of the charity are included in stock and donations in the financial statements upon receipt. If it is impracticable to assess the fair value at receipt or if the costs to undertake such a valuation outweigh any benefits, then the fair value is recognised as a component of donations when it is distributed and an equivalent amount recognised as charitable expenditure.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS

Government grants receivable in relation to the job retention scheme are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them against the related costs which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Other Government grants received are recognised at the point of receipt. Government grants are shown separately.

EXPENDITURE

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year-end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost Motor vehicles - 25% on cost Plant and machinery -25% on cost Leasehold Improvements. – 25% on cost

STOCKS

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out formula.

TAXATION

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. Expenses are inclusive of VAT where applicable.

FUND ACCOUNTING

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

FOREIGN CURRENCIES

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

PENSION COSTS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

GOING CONCERN

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

DEBTORS AND CREDITORS RECEIVABLE/PAYABLE WITHIN ONE YEAR

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and cash on deposit.
