1. Reference and Administrative Details of the Charity and its Trustees
The name of the Charity is Bridgend Foodbank. The Charity is registered with the Charities Commission - registration number 1142714 .
Its office is located at Hope Baptist Church, Bridgend and it leases a warehouse for food storage at Village Farm Industrial Estate, Pyle.
. The Charity is governed by 6 Trustees:
-
Pat Blackwell
-
Jonathon Davies
-
John Hornsby
-
Angela Rackham
-
Mike Richardson
-
Jefferson Tildesley MBE
2. Governance Structure and Management
The Charity was formed on 24[th] June 2010 when a Trust Deed was completed by 3 Trustees. As highlighted above there are now 6 Trustees. The additional Trustees were appointed via special meetings called under Clause 15 of the Deed. The period of appointment for each Trustee has been determined as 3 years.
The 6 Trustees constitute the board of the Charity. Ordinary Trustee Meetings are normally held once every 2 - 3 months. The Chair of the TrusteesMeeting circulates an agenda in advance of the meeting. Minutes are taken and decisions are recorded in the minutes. The draft minutes of each meeting are circulated to Trustees via email after the meeting for review and amendment. The final draft of the minutes is then approved at the following Trustees meeting.
Normally Trustees exercise their powers jointly at the ordinary meetings. From time to time the Trustees delegate the exercise of selected powers or functions to two or more Trustees in accordance with paragraph 7 of the Trust Deed.
The Charity is an affiliated member of the Trussell Trust Foodbank Network. The Network has over 400 members across the UK. The Trussell Trust operates a “social franchise” model whereby it provides individual members with operational procedures, data services and managerial advice/support. The Charity retains the power to exercise its powers as set out in section 5 of the
Trust Deed. This includes the powers to raise funds, buy, take on lease or in exchange, hire or otherwise acquire property and to maintain and equip it for its use.
The Trustees have identified and reviewed the potential risks to which the Charity is exposed. Systems and procedures have been put in place to effectively manage these risks.
3. Objectives and Activities
3.1 Objectives
The Charity provides food to individuals and families who are in crisis in Bridgend County Borough. The “objects” set out in section 3 of the Trust deed describes what the Charity sets out to achieve viz:
“The relief of poverty, hardship and distress, in particular but not exclusively by:
-
1) the provision of emergency food supplies to individuals and families
-
2) supporting existing agencies working with the distressed and destitute by donating food in bulk.”
3.2 Activities
The Charity undertakes its activities by collecting food from supermarkets, schools, churches and individuals. The food is held in a store (warehouse). Food items are normally dried goods ie tinned and packet foods. They are stored by commodity in date order so as to minimise wastage.
Food is given to an individual or a family (the client) via the presentation of a voucher which has been issued by a “Distributor”. A Distributor is typically a statutory or charitable organisation which has been recognised by the Charity as having the necessary skills and judgement to determine if an individual or a family are in crisis and needs to be given food by the Charity. Currently there are 109 Distributors each of whom has been accredited by the Charity following dialogue.
Prior to accreditation the Distributor is given a handbook which explains their role and responsibilities. The Distributor then completes a pro forma which provides the name and corresponding signature of the individual(s) whom the Distributor has authorised to issue a voucher to a client. On receipt of the completed pro forma the Charity issues the Distributor with a batch of 20 vouchers. Each voucher has a unique number which is traceable to the Distributor concerned. The Distributor is responsible for completing the necessary details about a client and signing it for presentation to the Charity by the client.
When a client presents a voucher to the Charity a quantity of food is given to the client. The amount of food given will depend on the circumstances of the individual ie the number/ age of the people being fed. The quantity and type of food commodities are given against a designated list. The list has been nutritionally balanced by a dietician. The quantity of food given is sufficient to last for 10 meals or up to 3 days per person.
Distributors are expected to issue no more than 3 vouchers to a client so that the client does not become reliant on the Charity for food on an ongoing basis. The Distributor is also expected to ensure that having referred a client that they will do all they can to work with the client to help them to deal with the crisis that they find themselves in either by direct assistance or by signposting the individual to another agency. In exceptional circumstances a Distributor can issue more than 3 vouchers to a particular client. However it is expected that this will be agreed in advance with the Charity.
The Charity distributes food to clients from 9 Distribution Centres located throughout Bridgend County Borough, although one of these (Bettws) has not yet reopened following the Covid-19 lockdown.

Each of the Distribution Centers is operated by volunteers. The value of the assistance given the Charitys work by the volunteers is not recognised in the financial accounts. The Charitys activities are undertaken almost entirely by volunteers, none of whom are remunerated for their efforts. The only paid employees are a part-time Operations Manager and a part-time Administrator (each working 12 hours per week), who were appointed in August 2020.
The volunteers are numerous and provide varying skills. Consequently it would be unrealistic to calculate the financial value of their input. Suffice it to be stated that the generosity and commitment of the volunteers are essential to the work, and are greatly appreciated by the Trustees.
4. Achievements and Performance
In July 2021 the Charity will have been in existence for 11 years. The data base hosted by the Trussell Trust only holds information with effect from April 2011. The following graph provides a summary of the adults and children who were given food from the beginning of July 2011 until the end of June 2021. The total number of people fed during this period was equivalent to just over 60,000 people (41,000 adults and 19,000 children).

----- End of picture text -----
During 2020/21 the number of clients who needed food was down on the previous year from 7,798 to 4,810. This was a decrease of 38.3% which is the lowest total since 2011/12 and the second lowest since the Charity came into existence. The reasons for this reduction in activity are multifactorial including: the temporary increase in universal credit, initiatives by the Welsh Government to tackle food poverty including the establishment of food pantries and an increase in local community food schemes during the pandemic.
During 2020/21 the Charity distributed food with a calculated value of approx £84,000 to clients. In addition, in order to manage surpluses of certain types of food within the warehouse, it donated food with a calculated value of approx £32.000 to other charities with similar aims, such as Rainbow of Hope, Salvation Army, Emmaus and the Wallich.
The plans for 2020/21 included 8 priorities:
-
To transfer the Charity`s office and Bridgend Distribution Centre from 79A Nolton Street Bridgend to Hope Baptist Church, Bridgend
-
To reduce the Charity`s carbon footprint
-
To move to a larger warehouse so that storage capacity can be increased and to purchase a replacement van
-
To ensure that volunteers receive training updates on a planned basis
-
To implement more effective Signposting arrangements for clients
-
To continue the work on updating Policies and Procedures
-
To operate services in the “new normal”
-
To close the Cymmer and Ogmore Valley DCs
An update on the progress made with these priorities is now outlined:
-
The planned move to Hope Baptist Church was completed in early 2021 and the new service commenced to operate from the new location on 8[th] January 2021.
-
Due to the pandemic putting pressure on the operational delivery of the service it was not possible to focus on the Charity’s carbon footprint as planned. It has therefore been carried forward as an objective for 2021/22.
-
In October 2020 a new van was purchased. The van has the added benefit of being taller than the previous vehicle and this makes it easier for the van volunteers to be able to stand up inside the vehicle when it is being loaded/unloaded.
Agreement in principle has previously been reached with Bridgend County Borough Council (BCBC) for the charity to move to a bigger warehouse. Originally it had been anticipated that construction of the new warehouse would be completed in the summer of 2021. However, there was then a delay within the Council over the finalization of the procurement arrangements for the scheme. As a result the tender for the scheme has only recently been issued and construction will not commence until early 2022. It is anticipated that the new warehouse will be available for occupancy in the autumn of 2022 and the planning for the move has been included as an objective for 2021/22.
-
The continuation of the Covid -19 pandemic again hampered the delivery of training to the volunteers. This will be carried forward into 2021/2022.
-
New folders were developed to facilitate signposting clients to relevant agencies. Work on promoting the use of the folders was put on hold due to the pandemic and will be carried forward into 2021/22.
-
A range of policies and procedures were reviewed and amended for implementation in 2021/22.
-
The operational arrangements put in place during the early stages of the pandemic were risk assessed and then kept under review. They were then adjusted as appropriate to reflect government guidance on precautions such as social distancing. The ongoing challenges of the pandemic require this objective to be carried forward in to 2021/22.
-
The Distribution Centers in Cymmer and Nantymoel were closed as planned in the autumn of 2020 due to them no longer being viable.
5. Financial Review
The Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) for the year ended June 30[th] 2021 reports the main charitable activities undertaken separately from the governance costs of the Charity.
Total income for the year was £218,112. Much of this income was via donations of food, which using guidance provided by The Trussell Trust have been valued at £118,322. (All food received and given out was weighed on receipt or distribution, and a standard value of £1.75 per kg was applied. This value was also utilised for the value of food stock on hand at the year end.) In addition to this, the charity had a total cash income of £99,790, comprising £73,362 in donations from various sources (mainly members of the public), £2,310 in recovered Gift Aid, £19,179 in grants and £4,939 from Tesco and ASDA as part of their "top-up" arrangement.
Total expenditure for the year was £173,590. The Charity distributed food with a calculated value of £119,000 either directly to clients or to other charities with similar aims. Wages were £13,646, motor expenses (including the purchase of a replacement van) were £19,695 and other expenses amounted to £21,249. Fixed assets have been fully depreciated.
The balance sheet shows total assets at June 30[th] 2021 of £177,959, an increase of £44,522 compared to June 30[th] 2020. Within this, the Charity’s cash assets increased by £43,787 and the value of stock held increased by £735.
Note 3 to the Accounts gives an analysis of the income received by the Charity, while notes 4 to 6 offer information regarding costs. Note 7 gives an analysis of the grants made by the Charity. Notes 8 to 10 analyse the fixed assets, debtors and creditors respectively.
6. Priorities for 2021/22
The Trustees have agreed that the following priorities should be progressed in 2021/22:
-
5.1 To move to a larger warehouse so that storage capacity can be increased – As highlighted above the Charity is anticipating that a new warehouse will be available for occupancy in the autumn of 2022. Planning for the transfer to the new facility will be undertaken in order for the move to go smoothly. The new warehouse will be 50% bigger than the current warehouse and will remedy the ongoing operational pressures which are being experienced due to a lack of storage facilities. At the present time the vacated Distribution Centre/office accommodation is being used on a temporary basis to store surplus stock. However this accommodation is not in a good state of repair and does not present a sustainable solution beyond the short term.
-
5.2 To reduce the Charity
s carbon footprint –** This issue is being carried forward from last years Operational Plan .** The Charity will explore ways of reducing its carbon footprint during 2021/22 and beyond. The first project will be focused on eliminating or reducing the use of plastic bags. -
5.3 To ensure that volunteers receive training updates on a planned basis – as highlighted in Section 4 this issue is being carried forward from last year`s Operational Plan . A training programme will be developed noting that as in previous years the ongoing pandemic may continue to hamper its effective delivery to volunteers.
-
5.4 To implement more effective Signposting arrangements for clients – This issue is carried forward from the last Operational Plan. The Trussell Trust has made an App available to facilitate signposting. The Operational Manager will ensure that Volunteers receive training in how to use it for the benefit of clients.
-
5.5 To continue the work on updating Policies and Procedures – Several policies including those on Data Protection, Equal Opportunity and Health and Safety have been reviewed and will be implanted.
-
5.6. To operate services in the “new normal” – As highlighted in Section 4 a considerable amount of work was carried out in 2020/21 to ensure that the environment in which both volunteers and clients operated was as safe as possible. This work will continue in 2021/22.
-
5.7 To develop a strategic plan in response to the Trussell Trust`s document called “Together For Change” – The Trussell Trust has recenlty published a 5 year strategic plan entitled “Together For Change”. The declared aims of this strategy are “Changing Communities, Changing Policies, Changing Minds”. The Charity will work with representatives of the Trussell Trust to think through what this might look like within Bridgend County Borough.

INCOMING RESOURCES
| Recognition of incoming | These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: |
|---|---|
| resources | the charity becomes entitled to the resources; |
| the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and | |
| the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. | |
| Small value estimated resources are excluded as immaterial. | |
| Incoming resources with | Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) |
| related expenditure | the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA. |
| Grants and donations | Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional |
| entitlement to the resources. | |
| Tax reclaims on donations | Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to |
| and gifts | which they relate. |
| Contractual income and | This is only included in the SoFA once the related goods or services have been delivered. |
| performance related grants | |
| Gifts in kind | Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity. |
| Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as incoming resources when | |
| receivable. | |
| Donated services and | These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources |
| facilities | expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and |
| material_._The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the | |
| service or facility received. | |
| Volunteer help | The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. |
| Investment income | This is included in the accounts when receivable. |
| Investment gains and losses | This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from |
| revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. | |
| EXPENDITURE AND | LIABILITIES |
| Liability recognition | Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the |
| charity to pay out resources. Small value estimated liabilities are excluded as immaterial. | |
| Grants with performance | Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service |
| conditions | or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the |
| grant has provided the specified service or output. | |
| Grants payable without | These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are |
| performance conditions | no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity. |
| ASSETS | |
| Tangible fixed assets for use | These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost more than £1,00. |
| by charity | They are valued at cost and depreciated over a three year timescale (usually). |
| From 2020/2021 onwards, the trustees agreed to treat all purchases, however large, as | |
| revenue expenditure rather than use depreciation to spread the cost. | |
| Investments | Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year |
| end. Other investment assets are included at trustees' best estimate of market value. | |
| Stocks and work in progress | These are valued at market value. |
| Stock on hand comprises food donated by independent donors (being the bulk of the stock) | |
| and food purchased by the charity. The value of the stock on hand has been computed by | |
| reference to an average cost of £1.75 per kilo, in line with guidance from the Trussell Trust, | |
| and this is considered by the trustees to be its market value. | |
| Restricted Fund | One restricted fund relates to money given in memory of Mr. Dave Walsh, a volunteer at the |
| Porthcawl Distribution Centre who died in 2015. His widow specified that the money should be | |
| used specifically in Porthcawl and there is £315 still to be spent. | |
| All other restricted income had been fully spent by the end of June 2021. |

The majority (just over 70%) of the food distributed was given to individuals receiving it from the eight Foodbank Distribution Centres operating around Bridgend County Borough.
Surpluses of particular items (just over 18 tonnes) were given to various like-minded institutions such as Rainbow of Hope, the Salvation Army and the Wallich, who themselves passed on the food to those in need. This figure was higher than usual because of the overwhelming generosity of our donors during the pandemic. To avoid waste, out of date food (just under 2.5%) was donated to a primate sanctuary near Swansea.
