DIRECTORS' AND TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020
The Trustees submit their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) (Accounting and Reporting by Charities" issued in 2005 in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing document: The charity is governed by its Articles of Association of 28 October 2011
Objectives and activities
The Object of the company is the relief of financial hardship among people living or working on the Isle of Wight by providing such persons with goods or services which they could not otherwise afford through lack of means.
Achievements and performance
The Covid pandemic has had a profound impact on the Charity this year. There was the practical issues of being able to keep open and operating, but thanks to the staff and volunteers we were able to keep the functions of the charity going throughout the whole of the pandemic. What was incredible to see was the generosity of the IOW public to keep donating both food and finances.
The Isle of Wight Foodbank has seen another year of growth of food collected and given out in 2019/20 which whilst it shows the generosity of the people of the Isle of Wight also demonstrates that the need is increasing. Universal Credit was introduced in September 2018 and we have started to see a clear increase in need.
The charity continues to support large numbers of people in the Isle of Wight. Food amounting to 120,590 kilos (2018-2019 71,535 kilos) was collected from the public and businesses with 81,794 kilos (2018/19 – 77,775) given out to feed 6,057 (2017/18 -5,446) people. The value of the food collected and distributed equates to £197k and reflects the generosity of the people on the Isle of Wight. Below is a table that shows the number of food parcels we have handed out in 2019/20

The charity were unable to run the Holiday Support Scheme this year only supported families during the summer holiday period because of the pandemic, but we were able to run a food parcel scheme over Christmas which were distributed via key agencies on the IOW.
Along with 5 paid members of the team Isle of Wight Foodbank is run by 120 (2018/2019 - 176) volunteers operating out of 5 Distribution Centre’s, without such support the charity could not exist and the trustees would like to thank all of those involved.
In March 2019 we opened up a new centre in the Bay area that covers Sandown and Shanklin. Demand here has been significant and shows that the centre in this area was required.
In June 2020 the decision was taken to close the distribution centre in Ventnor due to lack of demand of the public collecting their food parcels from Ventnor.
The Charity had minimal reserves- about 5 months’ worth at the start of the year and has been able to increase this significantly this year.
For 2020 we were able to generate a surplus for the year of £105,406, (2019 surplus of £23,975). The charity will look over the coming years to reduce our reserves so that the funds that have been given generously will be put to use within the IOW community.
Future Developments
The additional funds given during the year have helped accelerate the plans the charity has to move people away from crisis.
Our first step was to employ a local area connector in June 2021 as a way of assisting people where they are at and make sure they are connected to the correct agency to help them.
We will continue to look at projects going forward that are in line with the charities goals and objectives.
Financial review
The charity has seen a general increase in funding over the last two years which has enabled us build our reserves up to a more healthy level. We are aware though that we will need to purchase a new van and invest in the facilities at our main centre.
We are grateful to God and the local community for helping the charity continue in its works.
Investment policy
In accordance with the trust deed, the trustees have the power to invest in such stocks, shares, investments and property in the UK as they see fit.
In 2015 the trustees invested £10,000 in M&G Charifund, this represents the reserves of the charity and it was felt that a better return would be gained than having the money in a deposit account. At 31.10.2020 the value of the fund is £22,055.18

DIRECTORS' AND TRUSTEES' REPORT (Continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020
Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year , which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the
financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report was approved by the board of directors and trustees on 28 June 2021 and signed on its behalf.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 October 2020 which are set out on pages 5 to 12
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102).
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.
