## **THE AKSHAYA PATRA FOUNDATION UK TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **Introduction** 

The Trustees of The Akshaya Patra Foundation UK present an annual report with comprehensive financial statements and a summary of key activity for the financial year ended 31 March 2023. 

## **Objectives** 

The Akshaya Patra Foundation UK tackles food poverty and malnourishment in children and vulnerable people in the UK – and supports the provision of nutritious school meals to children across India to help them make the most of their education. 

In the year ended 31 March 2023, the charity continued to make strong progress on its twin objectives of developing and expanding its UK services and providing support for The Akshaya Patra Foundation’s mid-day school meal programme in India, the largest of its kind in the world. 

There is no doubt that it was a challenging year for The Akshaya Patra Foundation UK with the national economy continuing to struggle post-pandemic and many charities experiencing drops in the public’s ability to donate. At the same time, the cost-of-living crisis and the number of children suffering food insecurity meant the demand for food services to help low-income families was greater than ever. Despite these challenges, the Trustees are pleased to report that the organisation maintained its focus on positively pursuing its strategic objectives. 

The Trustees have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 and have paid due regard to public benefit when preparing this report. The benefit provided to the public is consistent with the aims of the charity in the UK. 

## **Strategic aims** 

The Akshaya Patra UK team has been focused on three key strategic aims: 

1. To consolidate and develop the service provided to children and other vulnerable beneficiary groups from its kitchen in Watford, North London, launched in partnership with the GMSP Foundation in 2020. 

2. To strengthen its provision of meals to children of low-income families across Hertfordshire and London boroughs, particularly when children are out of school and at risk of holiday hunger – in collaboration with the government’s Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme. 

3. To grow and deepen its support base through a renewed focus on building brand awareness via marketing and communications activities. 

## **Review of activities** 

The charity built on the success of the previous year to further strengthen its school holiday food service during the Easter, Summer and Christmas holidays, with our holiday hunger programme alone serving more than 94,000 meals to hungry children in the year ended March 2023. In total, 146,431 meals were provided during the year, taking the lifetime total meal count for our Watford kitchen to more than 600,000.

## **THE AKSHAYA PATRA FOUNDATION UK TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

The main channels for reaching beneficiaries in the UK were through: council-funded holiday clubs and community centres which children attend; after-school meals distribution to disadvantaged children arranged through schools; hot meals for the homeless, elderly and other vulnerable groups distributed both directly and through charity partners; and fresh meals for young people and students delivered on or close to campus. 

Our three key feeding initiatives are Nourish to Flourish (our flagship meals programme aimed at providing nourishment to children living in food poverty and insecurity), Beat Hunger (our service delivering freshly cooked meals to vulnerable adults), and Student Hotpot (our programme which supports students who are struggling to afford good, nutritious food during the cost-of-living crisis). 

The charity made changes to further develop its menu card and improve its recipes. Following research, development and trials, we added main dishes such as vegetarian lasagne and cottage pie as well as healthy and tasty dessert options to our menu. We also added more gluten-free and dairy-free options. These were well received from beneficiaries. The team spent considerable time and effort to ensure that ingredients and nutritional values were clearly conveyed for all our menu offerings. During the 2022 summer holiday hunger programme, our food was served and enjoyed at more than 100 post codes across greater London. 

The charity introduced a range of new quality management control measures throughout the year. These included enhanced volunteer training, health and safety audits, and process controls on procurement and distribution. Additionally, we invested in hardware and software which made our new digital food safety tracking system possible. 

Progress was made on procuring improved equipment which included capital investment in a new bespoke flat bread machine which once fully operational is expected to add even more unique and exciting menu offerings for both hot and ambient meals. 

The organisation continued to invest in and develop its volunteer base. Not only did we grow and expand our volunteer community both locally and via universities in London, but it was also strengthened by making Level 1 Food Safety certification requisite for volunteers working in our kitchen in any way. 

As a testament to all these efforts, the Akshaya Patra kitchen in Watford was awarded the highest food safety rating possible by the local authority. All our work has been aimed at driving innovation to ensure we serve highly nutritious meals as cost effectively as we possibly can. 

We regularly ask for feedback from the people who receive our meals, to ensure we are continuously evaluating and learning. Here are just a few quotes: 

- “The meal children get here is probably the only hot meal for some. Your contribution is invaluable.” – Sally, head teacher, Ealing. 

- “It feels like someone has taken time to prepare the food. In this London weather, I appreciate a hot meal.” – George, year 7 pupil, Tower Hamlets. 

- “To be successful at university your mind and body need to be in a good place. Initiatives like yours really go to fill these needs and support students.” – Amy, student organiser, Hertfordshire. 

- “I had never eaten a broccoli before. I like it!” – A holiday club attendee, Borehamwood.

## **THE AKSHAYA PATRA FOUNDATION UK TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

Further from Akshaya Patra UK’s home in Watford, the charity continued to help sustain and grow the initiatives of The Akshaya Patra Foundation in India, where regular feeding services were able to fully restart following the removal of Covid restrictions. 

During the year, Akshaya Patra was serving more than 2 million meals every school day across 20,000 of India’s schools, and generous UK supporters were directly funding the provision of nutritious school meals in more than 117 of these places of education. 

In the marketing and communications space, the charity received pro-bono support from management consultants Bain and Company, which evaluated the organisation’s growing online presence and charted forward a course of action which will next year see the launch of a new website and implementation of a revised digital strategy. 

During the year, Akshaya Patra UK engaged widely with its support base and the wider public through a number of key campaigns and events, including through such flagship fundraising initiatives as the Big Give and the annual Diwali celebration and outreach campaign. The Trustees are incredibly grateful for the ongoing kindness of Akshaya Patra’s supporters in the UK who give so generously to support our work. 

## **Leadership transition** 

Towards the end of the financial year, the Trustees collaborated on an important piece of succession planning. The incumbent Chief Executive Officer and Trustee, Bhawani S. Shekhawat, expressed a desire to transition out from his executive role and into fulfilling a solely non-executive position within the organisation. The Trustees wholeheartedly supported this transition and appointed an external recruitment agency to conduct a wide-ranging search for a new CEO. The charity received a significant response from interested charity leadership professionals and this was followed by a multi-stage interview process with ten high-calibre candidates by a Trustee recruitment panel made up of Wayne McArdle, Monica Sah and Bhawani S. Shekhawat. 

Following this extensive recruitment exercise, the Trustees were delighted to appoint Daniel Adams, the UK Executive Director of international child hunger charity Mary’s Meals, as our new CEO. Mr Adams joined The Akshaya Patra Foundation UK in June 2023 and he and Mr Shekhawat have been working hard to ensure a smooth and successful transition. 

The Trustees wish to unanimously thank Mr Shekhawat for all his efforts, hard work, wisdom and vision while leading the charity over several years. They look forward to continuing to collaborate with him as a member of the Board of Trustees. 

## **Future plans** 

Under the leadership of the incoming CEO – supported by the great talent, expertise and commitment of the existing Akshaya Patra UK team – the charity will develop a new five-year strategic plan during the next financial year. In the years ahead, Akshaya Patra aims to further develop its still relatively new UK programme, grow its support to the Indian mid-day meals initiative, and invite many new donors and well wishers into the Akshaya Patra family from all corners of the UK.

## **THE AKSHAYA PATRA FOUNDATION UK TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE** 

## **Financial review** 

One of the toughest tests which faced the Akshaya Patra UK team this year was meeting fundraising projections in such an economically challenging environment. Some large donors were not able to match their donation commitments from previous years due to economic factors, contributing to year-on-year drop-off in income generation. 

Total consolidated income in 2022/23 was £1,550,065 (2021/22: £1,745,012). Total expenditure in 2022/23 was £1,612,571 (2021/22: £1,967,071). It is perhaps worth noting that income in the past two financial years was temporarily uplifted by non-repeating Covid-19 related grants. 

The Trustees are pleased to report that we met our aim of ensuring at least 90% of our expenditure during the year was on our charitable activities, with no more than 10% spent on raising additional funds to support our mission. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity aims to hold six months’ running costs in reserve and designate the remainder for the main objectives of the organisation. Based on management projections for the six months to 30 September 2023, this resulted in a reserves target of £562,000. On 31 March 2023, total unrestricted reserves held were £753,432. 

## **Going concern** 

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

## **THE AKSHAYA PATRA FOUNDATION UK TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Constitution** 

The Akshaya Patra Foundation UK is a registered charity, number 1117756, and is constituted under a Trust Deed. The Trustees and management undertook a full review of the charity’s original Trust Deed in 2022 with pro bono support from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP. The Trust Deed was updated to align with current regulation and policy and was formally lodged with the Charity Commission in 2023. 

## **Management of the charity** 

The governance of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust Deed. The Trustees delegate authority to a Chief Executive Officer for the day-to-day running of the organisation. Trustees play a leading role in ensuring strong governance and smooth functioning of Akshaya Patra UK, with the Board’s functions and responsibilities being clearly defined. A list of the six Trustees who served during the reporting period is included on page one of this report. 

Trustees are generally appointed on three-year terms and required to attend regular meetings. Trustees also engaged with the CEO and wider team throughout the year to lend their expertise and advice for the benefit of the charity’s programmes, fundraising and awareness-raising. The Trustees have access to all the necessary management information to aid them in making strategic decisions which are aligned with the vision, mission and values of Akshaya Patra. 

## **Advisory board** 

In addition to the Board of Trustees, the charity operates an advisory board which currently has nine members. The advisory board contributes thinking and additional skillsets to the organisation’s strategic planning process and has also assisted with securing financial support for our work. 

## **Approach to remuneration** 

The pay policy for key management personnel has remained unchanged and is based on clear performance parameters agreed among the Board of Trustees. 

## **Related parties** 

All the Trustees are supporters of The Akshaya Patra Foundation India. Chanchalapathi Dasa is a Trustee of the Indian charity, which the UK charity makes grants to throughout the year. 

## **Risk management** 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to its operations and finances, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. 

To aid the organisation’s governance, risk management and policy development, the charity continued to receive pro bono advice from the law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP. 

## **Fundraising** 

Akshaya Patra UK is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and is committed to adhering to the Code of Fundraising Practice. We received no complaints during the year about any of our fundraising activities.

## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE AKSHAYA PATRA FOUNDATION UK FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of The Akshaya Patra Foundation UK (the ’ Parent charity’) and its subsidiary (“the Group”) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Consolidated Statements of Financial Activities, the Parent Charity Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Parent Charity Balance Sheet, the Consolidated 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: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the Group’s and of the Parent Charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of the Group’s and of the Parent Charity’s incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## **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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group and the Parent Charity 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 Group and the Parent Charity’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 annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

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

8 



## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE AKSHAYA PATRA FOUNDATION UK FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 (continued)** 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 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 trustees’ report; or 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the Parent Charity; or 

- the Parent Charity financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- • we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the Trustees 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 Group’s and the Parent Charity’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 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 the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 

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 Parent Charity is required to comply with charity law and, based on our knowledge of its activities, we identified that the legal requirement to comply with the Charity SORP was of key significance. The Group is also required to comply with the Food Safety Act 1990 and food hygiene legislation and regulations. 

- We gained an understanding of how the Group and Parent Charity complied with its legal and regulatory framework, including the requirement to comply with the Charity SORP and properly account for restricted funds and to comply with Food Safety and Hygiene legislation and regulations, through discussions with management and a review of the documented policies, procedures and controls. 

- The audit team, which is experienced in the audit of charities, considered the Group and Parent Charity’s susceptibility to material misstatement and how fraud may occur. Our considerations included the risk of management override. 

9 



## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE AKSHAYA PATRA FOUNDATION UK FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 (continued)** 

- Our approach was to check that all restricted income was properly identified and separately accounted for and to ensure that only valid and appropriate expenditure was charged to restricted funds. This included reviewing journal adjustments and unusual transactions. 

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 auditor’s report. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Charities Act 2011.  Our audit work has been undertaken, so that we might state to the charity’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 charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed.

**THE AKSHAYA PATRA FOUNDATION UK** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2023** 

## 1. **ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **a) Basis of Accounting** 

The financial statements of the charity, 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 Charities Act 2011. 

The Akshaya Patra Foundation UK meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies. 

The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling. 

## **b) Group Accounts** 

The financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiary Akshaya Patra U.K. Limited on a line by line basis. 

## **c) Going Concern** 

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements.  The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. 

In particular, the Trustees regularly review detailed cashflow projections including all expenses, and expected income.  The Trustees, having considered the projections and risks described above have a reasonable expectation that adequate financial resource will continue to be available for the foreseeable future.  Based on this the trustees have concluded that the charity remains a going concern. 

## **d) Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty are detailed in the accounting policy where applicable. 

## **e) Incoming Resources** 

The incoming resources of the charity have been recognised once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Donated services or facilities are recognised when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

**THE AKSHAYA PATRA FOUNDATION UK** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2023** 

## 1. **ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **f) 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. The Parent charity is unable to recover VAT on its expenditure and any VAT arising is included as part of the expenditure to which it relates. 

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. 

Expenditure on non-charitable activities relates to fundraising costs. Fundraising costs are those incurred in proactively seeking donations in support of the charity’s mission. This does not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the organisation’s charitable activities. Fundraising costs are those incurred directly through income generation activities, staff time spent on such activities, and a proportion of general overheads based on the headcount of fundraisingfocused employees. 

Expenditure on charitable activities includes raising awareness costs, governance costs, support costs and direct programme expenditure. Raising awareness costs include the dissemination of information in support of the organisation’s charitable activities. 

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **g) Foreign currencies** 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at rates of exchange ruling at the reporting date. 

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. 

Exchange gains and losses are recognised in the statement of financial activities. 

## **h) Financial Instruments** 

The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments, including its debtors and creditors. These are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently valued at their settlement value. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and call deposits and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2023** 

## 1. **ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **i) Depreciation of Tangible Fixed Assets** 

Tangible fixed assets costing £150 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. 

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. 

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is provided on the following bases: 

|Leasehold property|Life of the lease|
|---|---|
|Motor vehicle|25%|
|Plant, machinery and others|10-25%|



## **j) Funds** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **k) Pensions** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.
