**STAK- St Austell Community Kitchen Trustees' Report** 

The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 

## **Objectives and activities** 

STAK has continued to provide support to all who need it. We have continued to work with people experiencing homelessness, social isolation and food poverty. 

## **Who we are** 

St Austell Community Kitchen (STAK) is a registered charity limited by guarantee and has been running for over 35 years. First starting as a Soup Kitchen at the Baptist Church in 1988, was then registered as an unincorporated Charity in March 1993 and as an incorporated Charity registered in January 2012.  STAK provides a safe and welcoming environment for the vulnerable, needy and homeless within the community. STAK operated out of a leased unit in central St. Austell, within close proximity to the bus and railway station. STAK abides by its articles of associations. 

## Within the articles, STAK has two objects:- 

•The prevention or relief of poverty in Cornwall by providing or assisting in the provision of nutritious  food, drink and clothing for those in need and by providing education, training and such other support to relieve poverty as the Trustees may determine. 

•Such charitable purposes for the public benefit as are exclusively charitable according to the laws of England and Wales as the Trustees may from time to time determine. 

## **Our Mission Statement** 

_‘To raise awareness of, and provide support and services to, the vulnerable, needy and homeless within our community, and to offer them the space and safety to engage with the community at large, improve their lives and maintain independence.’_ 

## **Public benefit statement** 

In line with the guidance provided by the Charity Commission, STAK is required to demonstrate that our aims are to the “public benefit”. The Trustees confirm that all of our clients, volunteers and the wider community benefit from a combination of one or more of the following purposes: 

- the prevention or relief of poverty 

- the advancement of education 

- the advancement of health or the saving of lives 

- the advancement of citizenship or community development through the relief of those in 

- need by reason of youth, age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage. 

Our mission statement still holds true for us as we endeavor to support the local community and our dedicated volunteers and staff.

**STAK- St Austell Community Kitchen Trustees' Report** 

## **What we do** 

STAK respects the individuality and humanity of all who pass through its doors, helping those less fortunate, or who ask for help, by encouraging and supporting people to improve their lives. 

The main beneficiaries of STAK are the vulnerable, needy and homeless of our community. The needs and requirements of the client and volunteer base are many, but include physical and mental health issues, as well as social and financial exclusion. 

STAK welcomes the opportunity to link up with other agencies and to work in partnership to meet the needs of our client group. 

## **Our Clients and Their Issues** 

The people who access STAK come from a variety of backgrounds, however all are ‘vulnerable, needy or homeless’. They are more often than not people who are facing challenging times and have complex problems. Client issues include: 

- single homeless people 

- people who are in debt 

- ex-military, who are struggling to adjust after military service 

- people who are in danger of becoming homeless 

- people with substance dependency issues – drugs and alcohol 

- people with physical and/or mental health issues 

- people who are isolated and unable to integrate with the community 

- people who are illiterate or struggle with reading and writing 

## **Achievements and performance** p y 

p y p g confined to the ongoing work being carried out by the contractors.  This took much longer than originally anticipated due to both unforeseen issues and intermittent absences of the workmen. 

## **Future plans** 

The Board of Trustees are committed to growing the number of services offered by the charity. 

For 2024, the Trustees agreed the following objectives for the charity. 

1.  Promote the charity at a local and countywide level, to share the work STAK does and to network with likeminded organisations and businesses. 

2.  Continue to develop the charity’s volunteer programme by providing ongoing support, training, and opportunities. 

3.  Improve the governance of the charity through training and ongoing evaluation against the Charity Commission’s six hallmarks of an effective charity. 

4.  Extend the range of courses offered to clients and volunteers based on their needs and wants, and the availability of funding. 

5.  Recruit additional volunteers (and suitable Trustees) as a matter of urgency.

**STAK- St Austell Community Kitchen Trustees' Report** 

## **Support for STAK** 

In 2023 we were given notice to quit our previous premises in High Cross Street by December 31st 2023.  A few days before Christmas 2023 we were able to exchange contracts on a long lease on 4 Victoria Place. 

Given the condition of these premises; working up a grant application with the Community Levelling Up Fund towards renovating two of the rooms which was successfully achieved; and finally identifying the contractor.  The work itself took much longer than anticipated.  All of which resulted in us not being able to open throughout 2024. 

We must stress how grateful we were for the grant and the support that we received throughout the prolonged, but eventually successful process 

## **Financial review** 

STAK has a surplus for year of £21,486 (2023 surplus of £9,302). The reserves carried forward are £151,011  (2023 £129,525) of which unrestricted funds are £150,707 (2023 £126,149). 

## **Reserves policy** 

The trustees believe that unrestricted reserves of three months’ worth of operating costs plus £10,000 for closure costs as free reserves is prudent to ensure the charity can meet its obligations should anything untoward happen that requires closure of operations.  Free reserves are unrestricted and undesignated reserves.  Based on current year this should be £17,442 (2023 £25,161).  The current balance of unrestricted and undesignated funds of £27,963 (2023 £59,203) is greater than this. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity is managed by a board of Trustees who are appointed at the Annual General Meeting or invited by consensus of the board as and when the need arises to a maximum of 12.  The charity is governed by the Articles of Association which were last reviewed in January 2012. 

The charity’s Independent Examiner, Debbie Risborough, from Cornwall Community Accountancy Service, also provides advice on compliance issues such as HMRC, Companies House and Charity Commission requirements. 

As it was clear that we were likely to be closed for a considerable period, we sadly had no alternative but to make the Assistant Manager redundant.  Throughout 2024 the Manager took on the role of caretaker and cleaned and cleared the property, before and after the contractors.

## **STAK- St Austell Community Kitchen Independent Examiner's Report** 

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 7 to 18. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”). The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the 2011 Act and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission 

- under section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act; 

- and state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: `o` to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

`o` to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; 

2) or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
