oBJE￿IVEs AND ACTIVITIES
Charitable objective5
The Charity's objects are to develop the work of the Christian church in Dorking and the surrounding area by the
advancement of the Christian religion.. relief of poverty, suffering, sickness and distress, the advan￿ment of
education and other such activities as are charitable and in accordance with English Law.
Charitable activitle5
The chariws principal activity in pursuit of its charitable objectives is to act as a meeting point for local churches and
their representatives to work together on specific project5 and coordinate joint worship events. There are currently
15 Christian member organizations. A key artivity has been the operation of the Foodbank. We also collect for a Fuel
Fund to assist households having difficulty paying fuel bills. The charity helped the local authorities distribute the
Household Support Fund allocated to them. The Methodist church no longer meets in Dorking, but the Dorking and
Horsham Methodist Circuit have now taken over running the Christian Centre. The foodbank uses the Christian
Centre café as its Distribution Centre.
Foodbank
The Dorking Area Foodbank supports anyone in Dorking and the svrrounding villages who. for whatever reason,
have reached a financial crisis point and cannot afford to feed themselves. It's an organic community projett with
local people giving food, money, and their time to help other local people in need. The foodbank is entrusted to
manage and Coordinate these valuable and generous resources promptly, efficiently, and responsibly and operates
under an agreement with The Trussell Trust.
Of the 29.7 tonnes of food donated to us and supplemented by purchases by us in 2023, approximately two thirds
were distributed via our twi￿-WeekIY foodbank sessions at the Chrsstian Centre, with the remainder distributed
through other OUt￿aCh activities throughout the community. Our activities have continued to be particularly
challenging this year for the Foodbank, which has strived io be creative and 5UPPOrtive in its artivities to support
families who have suffered hardships because of the growing Cost of living crisis. Initiatives have included Christmas
treat bags for each Foodbank client, hampers to another local charity, BESOM, 'Holiday Hungerf boost food bags,
emergency food bags and breakfast bag5 for distribution by schools. We also provide fresh produce (including
cheese and eggsl at the distribution centre in addition lo the tinned and dried food already provided. This is proving
very popijlar with our clients.
The foodbank currently works with 82 referral agencies. Our message to the referral agencies has always been not to
delay in sending a client to the foodbank if they have any practical challenges in issuing a food voucher.
When the Churches of Dorkin8 Housing Association Ltd closed in December 2023, they @ave the ground lease on two
flats at 24 Howard Road to Churches Together in Dorking and thi5 bènefits the foodbank.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
Reserves pollcy
The trustees recognize the need to provide reserves to ensure the long-term and efficient running of the Dorking
Area Foodbank. a franchisee of the Trussell Trust.. _
l. The risk of losing the use of tht warehouse at short notice:
In May 2024 the foodbank moved into another warehouse provided by Mole Valley District Council on a
licence at a peppercorn rent. This licence can be terminated at three months, notice. When the foodbank 15
asked to Vacate the premises, the foodbank fates the risk of h)ving to provide warehousing space at short
notice. Taking account of the continuing scarcity of suitable warehouse space available in Dorking. a reserve
of £40,(K)O to provide warehouse space is considered prudent.
2. Recurrent annual expenditure:
Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic it was thought prudent to make a reserve of 50% of annual recurrent
expenditure, which at the end of 2023 would have been £50,839. The Trussell Trust has advised that increased
need is likely to continue for up to 5 year5 after the end of the pandemic duè to the downturn in economic
activity. but that increased financial donations are likely to return to previou5 lower levels after the end of the
pandemic. Accordingly. the Trussell Trust advised foodbanks to take account of this mismatch between the
likely need and the likely reduction in financial donations in their reserves policy. The impact of the Cost-of-
Living crisis is felt by our clients with the increase in the price of essentials including food and utility bills.
which for many in the community h85 not been compensated for with increase5 in income. The foodbank is
meeting increased costs at the new warehouse including paying for heating and lighting for the first time and
in the increased cost of employing staff including a cost-of-living salary increase agreed from l April 2024. We
estimate the combined extra warehouse and salary costs at some £15,IX)O.
The reserve at the end of 2023 for annual recurrent expenditure is therefore set at £96,500 which 15
approximately 80% of the annual expenditure in 20231£101,7791 plus 100% of the increased costs at the
warehouse and on salaries.
In view of these factors, the total reserve for the foodbank has been set at £136.500 as at December 2023
which will be reviewed by the trustees when considered appropriate.
Going concern
The trustees have reviewed the financial forecasts for the charity and have considered its anticipated income and
expenditure commitments for a period of tWe￿e months from the date of approval of this trustees, annual report.
The trustees believe that the charity has adequate resotjrces and the reserves needed to operate for at least the
next twelve months and to meet its liabilities. The trustees therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in
preparing the financial statements.
Prlnclpal rlsks and uncertaintles
The trustees regularly review the rtsks to which the charity might be exposed, safeguarding and health and safety,
and risks which are covered by insurance. The most serious risk is that the charity fails to secure sufficient funds to
