TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)".
Objectives and activities
The charity's objects are as follows:
To promote, protect and improve physical and mental health, and narrow the gap in health inequalities, of the inhabitants of Northern Warwickshire and the surrounding areas ("the area of benefit") in such ways as the Trustees see fit. In particular but not exclusively through the provision of activities that contribute to improving nutrition, wellbeing and disease management.
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.
Details of significant activities for achieving objectives
Nuneaton and Bedworth Healthy Living Network’s (HLN) objective is to work with disadvantaged communities and tackle health inequalities by delivering local solutions to local problems. We have worked throughout Northern Warwickshire and the surrounding areas.
Our services were negatively impacted during the year, following a break in and the theft of vans resulting in a disruption to collections and distribution of surplus.
Our Ediblelinks project continues to improve access for people experiencing food poverty via third sector and public agency referrals, through food parcels, Honesty Shops and food supplied to community groups. During 2025 outreach into the community to supply surplus food began.
The Social Supermarket operates 4 sessions over 2 sites.
Peoples Pantry has continued to provide a meal delivery service and luncheon club.
HLN partnership working continues to grow and strengthen. Working collaboratively creates a platform to work with hard-to-reach groups with whom we have engaged, adding value to all services. Reciprocal arrangements exist to ensure our communities are stronger, referring and signposting on as necessary.
Projects
People’s Pantry(ongoing) - During the year HLN prepared and delivered 1,284 meals to 47 beneficiaries.
The luncheon club service prepared and served 1,060 meals to 63 beneficiaries.
– Community Projects (ongoing) Various community projects including our directly delivered, Social Supermarket, for people facing food poverty in North Warwickshire, provided 5,395 people access to affordable healthy food options preventing poor mental health caused by stress.
-
Ediblelinks (ongoing) A community food redistribution partnership supported with fresh and ambient food by online supermarket Ocado, Aldi, Tesco and Brakes. Based in North Warwickshire but supporting disadvantaged areas across the whole of Warwickshire and wider. Ediblelinks supported 47,761 beneficiaries during the period.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Volunteers
During the year volunteers assisted in activities delivered by the Healthy Living Network. Without volunteers much of our work would not have been achievable. We estimate the current value of volunteer time is £158,792 pa based on 7,335 hours x £21.65 (the mean figure of Gross Hourly Pay, Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings, (ASHE) 2024.
The Board of Trustees would like to thank all of staff and volunteers for their commitment and hard work during these challenging times.
Achievements and performance
Financial review
During the year Nuneaton and Bedworth Healthy Living Network received grant funding, with The National Lottery Community Fund - Ediblelinks Sustainability coming to an end in December 2024. Donations received during the year increased from the previous year.
The Statement of Financial Activities shows net incoming resources of £5,496 . Total reserves at 31st March 2025 were £396,067 of which £178,156 relates to unrestricted and designated funds.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees considers 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 level of activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
Reserves policy
General reserves are needed to bridge the gap between spending and receiving resources, the current general reserve is £9,643.
It is the aim of the charity as per the Charity Commissions guidelines to maintain a designated contingency fund at a level which equates to no less than 3 month’s expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management, administration and support costs. The contingency fund amounted to £86,646 which represents approximately 3 months revenue expenditure.
Investment policy
Any surplus funds are placed on a short term deposit.
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.

1.5 Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
The Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relate directly to that activity. Where costs are attributable to more than one activity, they have been apportioned across the costs categories on a basis consistent with the use of these resources.
Charitable expenditure
Comprise those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that relate directly to an activity and those of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs
Include costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charitable company and include the accountancy fees and costs associated with the strategic management of the charitable company.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. All additions greater than £500 are capitalised and brought into account in accordance with normal accounting practice.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Plant and equipment 25% reducing balance Fixtures and fittings 25% reducing balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.9 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.11 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
Employees can contribute to the Warwickshire Pension Fund, a multi-employer defined scheme administered for the benefit of Local Authorities and other bodies which is managed in accordance with the Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations 1997 (as amended). Past and present employees are covered by the provisions of the Warwickshire Pension Fund. The trustees are unable to confirm the charity's share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the Warwickshire Pension Fund and therefore the Scheme is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme with the costs equal to the contributions made for the accounting period.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
