## **Trustees Annual Report** 

The trustees are grateful for financial support received from many sources, as summarised in the attached accounts. The financial position at the end of the year is satisfactory, with the fundraising shop providing adequate funds for the main activity at present. 

Reserves policy 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. 

Major Risks The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. 

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Helen Davies Tian Bersey 

Recruitment and appointment of trustees The trustees are appointed by a management committee comprised of volunteers from the local community. 

None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. 

Organisational structure The trustees delegate most day-to-day matters to part-time paid employees and volunteers, and meet bi-monthly with the wider management committee to agree policy matters and oversee the running of the charity 

Relationship with related parties Launceston Foodbank is affiliated to the Trussell Trust but is independent in its own right.

I report to the charity trustee on my examination of the financial statements of Launceston Foodbank Ltd for the year ended 31 October 2024.

The trustees are grateful for financial support received from many sources, as summarised in the attached accounts. The financial position at the end of the year is satisfactory, with the fundraising shop providing adequate funds for the main activity at present. 

Reserves policy 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. 

Major Risks The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

The charity is a company limited by guarantee.
