THE CHICKEN SOUP SHELTER
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objectives for which the charity was formed are the relief of poverty, sickness and infirmity amongst the members of the Jewish faith, and such other purposes as are charitable according to English Law.
In order to achieve the charitable objective, the charity is operating a soup kitchen to provide hot meals for those in the unfortunate position of being unable to provide for themselves.
Our mission:
Our mission is based on our understanding of the centrality of decent food to human existence. At the most fundamental level, nutritious satisfying food is essential for good physical and mental health. Access to food of a reasonable standard is therefore a basic human right. However, the importance of food goes beyond this: eating keeps us alive, but eating with friends and family makes life worth living. We therefore use food as a way of helping lonely and vulnerable people integrate into the community to the maximum possible extent, and to help fragile families become more functional and happy.
We aim to ensure that:
-
No-one should ever go hungry
-
No-one should have to resort to low-quality junk food for lack of an alternative
-
No family should find access to food an obstacle to maintaining a happy family life
-
No-one should be forced to eat alone on a regular basis

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Significant activities
The Chicken Soup Shelter is dedicated to helping vulnerable people lead healthy, meaningful, and dignified lives. We continue to expand our range of services in Hackney and Haringey supporting families and individuals struggling with poverty, hunger, and loneliness.
The charity currently operates four projects to achieve its mission.
1. The Soup Kitchen
The Chicken Soup Shelter was founded to ensure that no Jew in London has to go hungry or choose between keeping kosher and eating a decent meal. We provide hot, nutritious meals, 6 days a week throughout the year to anyone who walks through our doors with no questions asked.
The beneficiaries of the soup kitchen are diverse, but most fall into one of these three categories:
-
People with physical or mental health problems that prevent them from being able to prepare their own food
-
People undergoing family breakdown or another form of life crisis
-
Homeless people and people in inadequate or temporary housing without access to a kitchen
In addition, The Chicken Soup Shelter has become the first port of call for visitors to the community who lack a place to eat.
Relief from loneliness
A central feature of our soup kitchen is the benefit of community and belongingness that it gives to those who attend. For most vulnerable people in the 21st century, poverty is not so much about lack of access to money, as an absence of 'social capital', access to the social networks that all of us rely on every day to get on and get ahead.
In addition to the meal, those who attend our soup kitchen get the benefit of conversation, companionship, and camaraderie that they desperately need to improve their social situation. Our volunteers do much more than serve soup, they provide a listening ear, guidance, and assistance with the little things in life vulnerable people otherwise have to handle on their own.
A nutritious meal
In a country like Great Britain, poor people are more likely to be obese than those better off. Vulnerable people generally have limited access to high quality food which costs more and takes longer to prepare. Many studies confirm that excessive consumption of cheap and easily available junk food leads to depression, locking people in the cycle of poverty. Unhealthy diets are one of the main causes of chronic illness that makes it hard for people to hold down a job or lead a functional life.
That’s why we at The Chicken Soup Shelter are careful to serve up a balanced meal including protein, vegetables, and fruit each and every day.
Our soup kitchen now serves meals twice a day, providing dozens of vulnerable people with the hearty breakfast they need to kickstart their day, and a nutritious evening meal before they go to bed.
2. Meals on the wheels
Our soup kitchen serves hot meals to needy people six days a week, all year round. However, there are some people who cannot always make it to our location or for whom the soup kitchen is not an appropriate environment. For this reason, we deliver the same meals that we prepare every day in the soup kitchen to a wide range of people from across the Jewish community, including:
-
Families who lack the time or resources to prepare their own meals, but still wish to eat together as family.
-
Elderly people with mobility issues or health problems that prevent them from getting out in the evenings.
-
Anyone who, for whatever reason, does not want to come to the soup kitchen, but nevertheless needs a hot, nutritious meal.
3. Family crisis support

THE CHICKEN SOUP SHELTER
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
One of our most important projects at The Chicken Soup Shelter is supporting families who are experiencing a crisis, and need extra help to ensure that their family life does not unravel. We help dozens of widows and orphans, as well as families where a parent is suffering a mental health crisis or has become suddenly unemployed.
The subsidies that we provide to these families give them the ability to maintain a dignified family life during these upheavals. When families in crisis have the security of knowing that the costs of food and decent accommodation are covered, they have the space to take the action they need to improve their situation. Intervention at crisis points is often instrumental in helping families stay together, avoiding untold pitfalls in future years.
In addition to the practical support that this programme provides to widows, orphans, and families in crisis, they are also consoled by the knowledge that they are not alone. Experiencing support from others helps these suffering people to look forward to the future with hope.
4. The Chagim Project
The Chagim project is an initiative designed to help low-income Jewish families who can make ends meet during the year, but struggle with the extra burdens imposed by the festivals and high holy days. For these families, the Chagim are often less a source of joy than a source of worry, forced to choose between going into debt or telling their children that they will not be able to celebrate Yom Tov in the normal way.
Our programme operates twice a year: before Pesah, and before the Yamim Noraim and Sukkot. In the run-up to the festivals, we negotiate special accounts with local providers of meat, fish and other festival essentials, to ensure that every Jewish family can celebrate yom tov in a dignified and appropriate fashion. This assistance helps needy families meet the prohibitive cost of kosher food and get through the Yom Tov season without falling into a spiral of debt. We also provide funds for these families to buy clothing and shoes for their children so they can celebrate with dignity.
Public benefit
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aim and objectives and in planning the charity's future activities. The aims of the charitable company for the public benefit are detailed in the Objectives and Activities section of the report.
Grantmaking
Grants are made at the discretion of the trustees and in accordance with the principal objectives of the charity. During the year, the charity made donation totalling £48,690 [2023 - £44,259].
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
During the year the charity raised substantial funds, and has applied all of the funds towards activities, and some small charitable grants in furtherance of its objectives.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
The charity is mainly funded many charitable organisations and individuals including those associated with the trustees.

TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed 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. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CHICKEN SOUP SHELTER
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Chicken Soup Shelter
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Chicken Soup Shelter (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do 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 in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
