Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2022

The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022. Included within the trustees’ report is the directors’ report as required by company law.

Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.

Objectives and activities

The following are the objects of the Charity and are for the benefit of the community of Gloucester and the surrounding area and are to be undertaken with a Christian ethos:

In order to fulfil its objects, the charity operates the Gloucester Foodbank, providing emergency food supplies for those in crisis as identified by other local agencies. The project has continued to provide a temporary, practical stopgap through food and toiletries distribution to those who are in a position of crisis. Free emergency food is provided for 3 days, and often repeated up to twice more which is often the time it takes for the appropriate agencies to be in a position to assist. The food is distributed in exchange for vouchers issued to individuals according to need by nearly one hundred local agencies and social services.

The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.

The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

Achievements and performance

The charity's main activities and who it tries to help are described below. All its charitable activities focus on the provision of food for those in need, and are undertaken to further the charity’s charitable purposes for the public benefit.

Our donations of food come from 4 main sources:

Gloucester Foodbank

Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2022

Much of the donated food is collected by ourselves with one of our vans, and we also receive in person food donations at our base in the George Whitefield Centre. All the food collected is then sorted ready for distribution by our many volunteers who come from all walks of life, and are predominantly retired or semi retired.

In September 2021 we opened a distribution centre in Elim Church Gloucester where a team of volunteers could meet clients face to face and clients could collect their parcels of food. Also, covid restrictions were easing which meant that clients were more able to access support. In light of these circumstances, to remain sustainable and avoid confusion we returned to the previous model of supplying parcels with enough food for 3 days instead of 7- days.

The number of schools has usually reflected the number of colleges, playgroups etc that have supported us at various times throughout the year. For instance, a few secondary schools collected and donated food and other goods to us last Christmas, but not at Harvest time.

Gloucester Foodbank Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2022

Beneficiaries of our services

Of the 8,871 food parcels that we have distributed in the last year 50% of these were for adults of working age (2564) and 36% for children. Of the food parcels distributed for children, 43% of those were for children aged 5-11.

Of the reasons given for requiring help from the Foodbank 56% were stated as low income and 15% were stated as benefit delays and changes.

Of the total food vouchers that were issued 55% were for single people and single parent families accounted for the next highest at category at 18%. There were four main districts of Gloucester accounting for 49% of all parcels distributed, suggesting that these were the main areas of economic deprivation in the city.

Financial review

Gloucester Foodbank has been reliant on donations from individuals, grant making trusts, churches and the Tesco scheme, which as stated above provides 20% of the value of food, collected at local Tesco stores. Our fund raising programme has been equally successful this year and there has been a brilliant response from the general public reflecting the need during the second year of the Covid pandemic. Donations from individuals have also increased and this has been very encouraging. Further details are provided in the Statement of Financial Activities.

During the year the charity continued to rent the current premises under a licence agreement, and until the end of June 2021 continued to sublet 23% of the premises to The NHS Homelessness Care Team providing additional income. The George Whitfield Centre has now in effect become a warehouse from which food parcels are distributed, and the method has been delivery only.

The charity’s total income for the year was £330,539 (2021: £479,923) of which £183,522 (2021: £200,048) was donations in kind, made up of donated goods and £3,473 (2021: £12,371) sublet income. Total expenditure was £308,902 (2021: £322,756) including donated goods values as above. The surplus for the year was £21,637 (2021: £157,167).

At the end of the financial year the charity’s total funds stood at £263,032 (2021: £241,395) of which £253,797 was unrestricted (2021: £232,160) and £9,235 was restricted (2021: £9,235).

The restricted fund is to provide white electrical goods for those clients in need when the Foodbank was previously operating on a fact to face collection basis. With the switch to delivery only due to covid clients in need of such assistance have not been identified as readily. With the reopening of distribution centres it is expected this this will change going forward.

The trustees agreed that the treatment of income and expenditure relating to the operation of the Foodbank as restricted in previous accounts was incorrect, since the Foodbank is the principal activity of the charity. In addition, £170,000 was designated during the previous year towards costs of moving to larger premises, which it had hoped would happen in the 2021/22 year. These financial statements therefore restate the prior year income and expenditure and balances as at 31 March 2021 correctly, showing £170,000 of the unrestricted funds as designated to the future building fund.

Reserves policy

The aim of the reserves policy is to ensure that the charity’s ongoing and future activities are reasonably protected from unexpected fluctuations in its income and expenditure. The board reviews the reserves policy annually and agrees an appropriate level of unrestricted general funds, also known as free reserves, given the risks faced by the charity and the sustainability of its different income streams.

Doc ID: 3b474dd8c43e892a65ce23b2dc3790d578f5bb84

Gloucester Foodbank Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2022

It is the policy of the charity that total reserves should be maintained at a level equivalent to at least three months’ total expenditure, excluding the use of donated goods, with the objective that the Charity is able to continue with its activities for the duration of any temporary fall in funding.

Total expenditure, excluding the use of donated goods, amounted to some £125,000 for the year; the minimum reserves target is therefore around £31,250. As mentioned above, the trustees have designated £170,000 for the purpose of relocating and securing suitable premises going forward in order to secure the tenure of the Foodbank for up to 5 years since the existing premises are insufficient due to their size and layout.

At the year-end free reserves, available for use on the general activities of the foodbank (ie excluding the designated fund) amounted to £83,797 which is more than satisfactory.

Future plans

The trustees intend to continue running the Gloucester Foodbank on existing lines, namely delivery only for the majority of the food parcels. However, at the same time the charity plans to develop with the Trussell Trust the ‘More than Food’ programme, which includes advanced sign posting, financial and budgeting advice. During the year we opened a distribution centre at Elim Church where clients can visit and collect their food parcels. This provides a balanced delivery model with collection as well as delivery and we have plans to open more of these to improve our geographical spread across the city and surrounding areas in the coming years.

With the increase in demand for food over these last 2 years it is now apparent that we have outgrown our current location and are proposing to move to larger premises when one can be found, and we hope to be able to secure a place in 2023. We are also looking at the feasibility of sponsoring, in partnership with GL Communities, the provision of a Financial Inclusion initiative. This will fund a Financial Inclusion Advisor who will provide financial budgeting, debt advice and benefit maximisation for clients using the foodbank who feel they would benefit from this extra support. This funding will be made available by Trussell Trust and is part of their nationwide initiative to provide a more rounded solution for those in crisis.

Structure, governance and management

Gloucester Foodbank is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 23 March 2005 and registered as a charity on 31 March 2006.

The 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.

The directors of the Charity are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's articles. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, at the Annual General Meeting, one third of trustees for the time being or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest one-third shall retire from office. A retiring trustee shall be eligible for re-election.

The board of trustees has the power at any time, to appoint any person to be a trustee. Any trustee so appointed shall hold office only until the next following Annual General Meeting, and shall then be eligible for election.

Trustees are there as individual members in their own right and not representing any organisation and are recruited with the aim of achieving a broad range of specialist knowledge, skills and experience to provide governance and legal responsibility for the organisation.

Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.

Statement of responsibilities of the trustees

The trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) 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 financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner’s report for the year ended 31 March 2022

Report to the trustees

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 set out on pages 8 to 19.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act

have not been met; or

  1. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Gloucester Foodbank

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022

1 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared 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 applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 - (Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Gloucester Foodbank meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £ sterling.

b Judgments and estimates

Key judgments which the trustees have made which have a significant effect on the accounts include valuing donated goods when distributed at £1.75 per kilo, as recommended by the Trussell Trust.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

c Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

d Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Gloucester Foodbank

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022

e Donated goods, services and facilities

Goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries are recognised as incoming resources only when distributed, with an equivalent amount being included as resources expended under the heading of charitable activities. Goods donated are valued at £1.75 per kilo, which is a commonly adopted valuation method among similar charities.

Donated professional services and donated facilities are not recognised as income. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.

f Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity heading:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

h Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £100 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:

Motor vehicles 33%
Office fixtures and equipment 25%

i Stock

Donated items of stock are not valued in the accounts since they are recognised only when distributed. Although a small amount of goods are purchased for distribution, any stock held is not valued since the value is not material.

Gloucester Foodbank

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022

j Debtors

Gift Aid claimable on donations received has not previously been recognised in prior years, but since this is a material amount it is now recognised at the anticipated value. Any trade or other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

k Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

l Pensions

Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 7 and outstanding contributions due at the year end were not material.

2 Legal status of the charity

The charity is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. The registered office address is disclosed on page 1.

17 Restatement of prior year balances

In previous accounts income and expenditure relating to the operation of the Foodbank has been treated as restricted. This was incorrect as the Foodbank has been and continues to be the principal activity of the charity. In addition, £170,000 was designated during the previous year towards costs of moving to larger premises, which it had hoped would happen in the 2021/22 year. These financial statements therefore restate the prior year income and expenditure and balances at 31 March 2021 correctly, showing unrestricted funds of £232,160 of which £170,000 were designated to the future building fund.
