TRUSTEE REPORT FOR YEAR 1.4.21– 31.3.22

TRUSTEES

Mr Phil Chant Mrs Jean Colgrave Mrs JudyCooper Mrs Priscilla Gray Mr Stuart Simcock

The Warminster and District Food Bank was founded 13 years ago and is now an independent Foodbank, an unincorporated charity, with Trustees who are reappointed at the AGM, normally held in July, but replaced if and when necessary throughout the year.

Our aim is to provide food as well as other daily sundries for individuals and families who may be homeless, going through financial difficulties or who are considered by social services, schools or doctors to be people in need of extra support.

The food bank is run by a management committee, 5 trustees and 30 volunteers for which we are extremely grateful. We open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays weekly from 8.45am-1pm, with a leader and 3 volunteers working during each session. A manager also holds an emergency mobile phone which clients can ring if they are desperate at any time.

Much of our food is donated by Churches, individuals and organisations. We do buy food on a daily basis, using our own funds, to supplement that available for distribution including fresh eggs, bread, butter, cheese, meat and fish. We also buy, to keep in stock, special hot pack meals for any rough sleepers who are in difficulties. As well as donations sent directly to Dewey House a number of people now give on a monthly basis direct to our bank account.

Following the 2 years of Covid, we have returned to more normal working practices whereby food bags are packed by the volunteers and can either be delivered or clients are now able to come to the door to collect their parcels if they prefer.

The public have been extremely generous and supported the food bank financially to the extent that our balances are at a high level. However, as the Treasurer reported, receipts have reduced significantly this year but our outgoings have changed little. The money on deposit is held to cover our monthly outgoings, ie rent, food and other sundries in the event of further significant reductions in financial donations. We also need a contingency in case the food bank ever has to relocate.
