Bridgend Foodbank Trustees` Report 2021/2022

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 3 Trustees completed a Trust Deed. As highlighted above there are now 6 Trustees. Each of 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 normally take place 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 ratified 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, 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 are 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 stored in a warehouse. Food items are normally dried goods ie tinned and packet foods. In order to minimise wastage, food is stored by commodity in date order.

Food is given to an individual or a family (the client) via the presentation of a voucher that has been issued by a “Distributor”. A Distributor is typically a statutory or charitable organisation, which has received accreditation from the Charity for having the necessary skills and judgement to determine if an individual or a family are in crisis, and need food from the Charity. Currently there are 76 Distributors who have been accredited by the Charity following dialogue.

Prior to accreditation, the Distributor is given a handbook that explains their role and responsibilities. The Distributor then completes a pro forma that 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 makes arrangements for the Distributor to be able to issue e-referral vouchers. The client’s details are captured into a computer (or other connected device) and a personalised voucher is printed for them to take to the foodbank. 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 receiving the food. The quantity and type of food commodities are given against a designated list list of food. A dietician has nutritionally balanced the list. 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, there is an expectation that this will be agreed in advance with the Charity.

The Charity distributes food to clients from 10 Distribution Centres that are located throughout Bridgend County Borough. Between Monday – Friday there is at least one Distribution Centre open and emergency food boxes are available at St. Theo`s Charity Shop, Kenfig Hill for any clients who need food on a Saturday:

Volunteers operate each of the Distribution Centres. 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 Office Administrator (both work 12 hours per week).

The volunteers are numerous and provide varying skills. Consequently, it would be unrealistic to calculate the financial value of their input. Suffice to say 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 2022, the Charity will have been in existence for 12 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 have received food from the Charity with effect from the beginning of July 2011 until the end of June 2022. The total number of people fed during this period is equivalent to circa 60,000 people (41,000 adults and 19,000 children).

----- End of picture text -----

During 2021/22 the number of clients who needed food was up on the previous year from 4810 to 6337. This was an increase of 32% on the previous year. This meant that most of the reduction in clients in the previous year`s outturn (38%) had disappeared (see graph above). There had been an expectation that this rebound in activity would take place as many of the temporary measures put in place for food distribution at both local and national level during the pandemic had been withdrawn.

During 2021/22 the Charity distributed food with a calculated value of £97,790 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 £19,495 to other charities with similar aims, such as Rainbow of Hope, Salvation Army and the Wallich.

The plans for 2021/22 included 7 priorities:

Move to a bigger warehouse to increase storage capacity for food.
Reduce the Charity`s carbon footprint.
Ensure that volunteers receive training updates on a planned basis.
Implement more effective processes for Signposting clients to other agencies.
Continue the work on updating Policies and Procedures.
Operate services in the “new normal”.
Develop a strategic plan in response to the Trussell Trust`s document called “Together For Change”.

An update on the progress made with these priorities is as follows:

In the autumn of 2021, Bridgend County Borough Council (BCBC) invited tenders to build several new warehouses adjacent to the site of the Charitys current warehouse. The timetable for construction set out in the tender was for the work to start in early 2022 and for the Charity to move into one of the new larger warehouses in the summer of 2022. However, due to a surge in the cost of building materials, the tenders which were returned by contractors were well in excess of the tender budget. Consequently, BCBC postponed the completion of the tender process. Whilst the Charity is hopeful that BCBC will seek fresh tenders in 2022/23, this is not guaranteed as building costs are still subject to severe inflationary pressures. Dialogue will continue with BCBCs officers on this issue. In the meantime, the Charity is able to utilise vacated accommodation at 79A Nolton Street as additional storage capacity.
The Food distributed to clients is put in plastic carrier bags. During the past 12 months the Charity has endeavoured to reduce its carbon footprint by replacing the plastic bags with paper ones. However, despite trialling paper bags from 2 companies it has not yet been possible to find paper carrier bags which are strong enough to cope with tinned food. This work will continue in 2022/23.
During 2021/22 a training programme for volunteers was developed. The programme includes training on Health and Safety, Safeguarding and First Aid.
Two Signposting Apps became operational. These have been of benefit in helping to signpost clients to other services. Further work is planned on signposting in 2022/23.
A review of policies and procedures was undertaken to ensure that they are compliant. The only outstanding review relates to the Welsh Policy. This will be completed in 2022/23.
Building on the work and learning from 2020/21 the operational arrangements put in place during the early stages of the pandemic continued to be risk assessed and kept under review. During the spring of 2022 these arrangements were gradually eased as the pandemic`s impact reduced and all of the Distribution Centres are now operating normally.
At the beginning of 2022 the Trustees held a workshop with the Trussell Trusts Area Manager for South Wales. The purpose of the workshop was to draft a Strategy Statement for the Charity which dovetailed with the Trussell Trusts strategy entitled “Together for Change”. The Charitys Vision is **“To provide emergency food to people who are in crisis and to work in partnership with other agencies to alleviate poverty in the community. Offering a helping hand with compassion and dignity, to assist clients to become financially secure.”** Work on implementing the Charitys Strategic vision statement will take place in 2022/23. This will include the launch of a 3 year financial inclusion project (see paragraph 6 below).

5. Financial Review

The Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) for the year ended June 30[th] 2022 reports the main charitable activities undertaken separately from the governance costs of the Charity.

Total income for the year was £201,339. Around half of this income was via donations of food. Using guidance provided by The Trussell Trust, these have been valued at £103,961. (All food received and given out was weighed on receipt or distribution, and a standard value of £1.75 per kg was applied. The value of food stock on hand at the year end was then

adjusted to the new standard value of £2.37 per kg.) In addition to this, the charity had a total cash income of £97,378, comprising £49,814 in donations from various sources (mainly members of the public), £40,162 in grants and £7,402 from Tesco and ASDA as part of their "top-up" arrangement.

Total expenditure for the year was £154,804. The Charity distributed food with a calculated value of £121,310 either directly to clients or to other charities with similar aims. Wages were £15,058 and other expenses amounted to £18,436. All fixed assets have been fully depreciated.

The balance sheet shows total assets at June 30[th] 2022 of £224,494, an increase of £46,535 compared to June 30[th] 2021. Within this, the value of stock held decreased by £6,255 while the Charity’s cash assets increased by £52,790.

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 2022/23

The Trustees are planning for 8 priorities to be tackled in 2022/23:

6.1 To utilize funding secured from the Trussell Trust to put in place a 3-year project designed to help clients to become financially secure – The Charity had recently secured £51.75k per annum for 3 years from the Trussell Trust to implement a Financial Inclusion project. The aim of the project is to enable Foodbank clients to become financially secure. The charity has chosen Bridgend Citizens Advice Bureau (BCAB) as its preferred partner for the project. The Charity will refer appropriate clients to BCAB who will then provide each client with financial advice via a designated specialist adviser. A newly appointed Signposting Gatekeeper will review referrals from the Distribution Centres and then make an appointment for a client as appropriate with the BCAB`s designated specialist adviser. The effectiveness of the project will be subject to ongoing review with quarterly monitoring reports submitted to the Trussell Trust by the Charity in accordance with a prescribed timetable.
6.2 To put in place a network of signposting volunteers across the Distribution Centres to support the implementation of the Financial Inclusion Project (see 6.1) - Plans are in place to appoint a signposting volunteer in each of the Charity`s Distribution Centres. The role of the signposting volunteer will be to to ensure that clients are signposted as necessary to other agencies. These volunteers will work closely with a Signposting Gatekeeper who will be required to facilitate the operational arrangements for the Financial Inclusion Project. An outline of the role of the Gatekeeper is described in paragraph 6.1.
6.3 To ensure that there are robust plans in place to cope with a surge in client demand – The outlook for the economy in the forthcoming year is gloomy with inflationary pressures forecast to reach double figures. The government has recently announced a package of measures to subsidize the cost of energy for households for the next 2 years. This will help to reduce pressures on the cost of living. Nevertheless, the Charity needs to ensure that it has a contingency plan in place to effectively manage the surge in client demand which is likely to arise.

6.4 To review the feasibility of moving to a larger warehouse so that food storage capacity can be increased – As highlighted above the Charity is awaiting a decision from Bridgend County Borough Council (BCBC) as to when it will proceed to invite tenders to construct several new warehouses adjacent to the warehouse that the Charity presently leases from the Council. The new warehouse provisionally allocated to the Charity will provide circa 50% additional storage capacity. However, if BCBC decides that the cost of construction continues to be prohibitive then the Charity will need to determine if it should look at alternative premises, recognizing that this could mean having to move to a different location in the County Borough.
6.5 To implement the Charitys strategic vision in response to the Trussell Trusts document called “Together For Change” – The Charity will begin implementing the strategic vision which it has developed for its services. There are 2 initiatives planned: The Financial Inclusion Project described in paragraph 6.1 is one of the initiatives. The second initiative is to work in partnership with other members of the BCBC Food Network. The Network is planning to develop a strategy for Food Distribution within BCBC and the Charity is committed to fully participating in that process.
6.6 To open a new Distribution Centre at Bethel Community Church, Kenfig Hill – In February 2022, the pastor at Bethel Community Church (BCC), Kenfig Hill, asked the Charity if a Distribution Centre could be located at the church. Following a visit to the Church by the Chair and Operational Manager, the Trustees approved the request. A plan was then drawn up with the church for the new Distribution Centre to open at the beginning of July 2022.
6.7 To continue the work on updating Policies and Procedures – As highlighted above the Charity will review the Welsh Language Policy to ensure that it is compliant.
6.8 To reduce the Charity`s carbon footprint – This issue is being carried forward from 2021/22 . The Charity will explore ways of reducing its carbon footprint during 2022/23 and beyond by eliminating the use of plastic bags for clients’ food.

An update on progress against these objectives will be included in the next Trustees` Report.

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 £1,000.
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 at the end of June 2022
	has been computed by reference to an average cost of £2.37 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 as at June 2021 there was £315 still to be spent. During the
	year this was spent on fresh food given out at the Porthcawl Distribution Centre. All restricted
	income had therefore been fully spent by the end of June 2022.

The majority (just over 80%) of the food distributed was given to individuals receiving it from the nine Foodbank Distribution Centres operating around Bridgend County Borough.

Surpluses of particular items (just over 11 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. To avoid waste, out of date food (just over 3%) was donated to a primate sanctuary near Swansea.
