I want to take this opportunity to say a HUGE thank you to the whole team for the extraordinary support and commitment they have given to our charity and the local community in Bradford. Staff and volunteers have shown incredible determination and dedication. These have been the best of times and the worst of times as we changed direction to accommodate the new work pattern, ensuring that churches, faith centres, community groups and foodbanks could serve their communities. The collective response to the pandemic is something Bradford can be proud of. From the start of the year we continued to support Bradford's COVID-19 response: purchasing and supplying food to local foodbanks. We could never have imagined that we would be providing an ‘emergency’ response for over sixteen months, more than trebling our usual throughput of food.

We forged new partnerships. We collected surplus food from cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, wholesalers and other businesses, as well as purchasing stock. We sorted and redistributed over 460 tonnes of produce to dozens of groups in Bradford. We co-hosted meetings on food security and spoke to the national Feeding Britain Network. We taught valuable cooking skills to adults and - children distanced, outdoors, online or however we could. We took a great many phone calls from vulnerable people who spoke to us of loneliness, isolation, illness and financial difficulties.

What has become really apparent this year is that food has taken centre stage and cannot be brushed under the COVID carpet.

The link between eating well and mental health cannot be understated, but affordability is a real barrier to healthy eating. In our Challenge21, run with Bradford Bronte Rotary Club, we invited people to ‘live’ on just £21 for a week, which was what we were being told that customers had left to feed their family after paying household bills. This was a real challenge for participants, both mentally and physically, but it was only for one week: for many people it’s every week.

We welcome the national food strategy recommendations to escape the junk food cycle and protect the NHS, reduce diet-related inequality, make the best use of our land and create a long-term shift in our food culture. This will require bold, coordinated action, with resourcing to back it up, but it is essential in tackling poverty and deprivation, and ensuring that everybody has access to good quality, healthy food.

Our work as an emergency food hub purchasing and distributing food to foodbanks draws to a close at the end of July, but we will continue to work to resource a network of food organisations and charities across Bradford, as well as through our own social supermarket and growing network of FoodSavers projects. These combine affordable access to good quality healthy food with easy access to regular saving and are part of our mission to bring practical support to those that need it most.

The role of charities, the voluntary sector and their volunteers, has never been more vital than in the past year. It has often fallen to the faith sector to lead the way in volunteering and welfare provision and support, and this year has shown that again in Bradford.

2020 was unprecedented in the number of volunteers turning out to support their communities. It was heartening to see the camaraderie on display as people showed up week in and week out to respond to the challenges faced right across the city. As a team, I have never been more proud of our Inn Churches family as they steered a new course of action through the global pandemic.

Whilst we had to suspend our welfare support work at the start of lockdown, we worked with some of our referral agencies to support half a dozen individuals with emergency household items and furniture, and reconfigured our support services to reopen safely at the beginning of August. Since then they have been operating at increased capacity.

Starter Packs

Our starter packs are provided to people moving from the streets into tenancies, and contain essentials such as bedding, crockery, cutlery, cooking equipment and utensils and a kettle.

tenancies, and contain essentials such as bedding, crockery, cutlery, cooking equipment and utensils and a kettle. This year we provided 135 starter packs (from 162 referrals), slightly lower than last year but including a significant period where the service was suspended or referrals from partner agencies were sparse due to 135 lockdown restrictions. starter packs As well as this we provided 43 individuals with clothing and shoes, and 24 emergency food parcels. Warm Homes Healthy People Warm Homes Healthy People (WHHP) is a partnership of organisations in Bradford helping people who are homeless, vulnerably or poorly housed to keep warm through information and advice, emergency practical support and small energy efficiency measures. This year we supported 51 people (from 66 referrals) with bedding and 51 food, a slight increase on the previous year.

Acts 435

Acts 435 connects people with specific needs to donors who can support them through a crowdfunding site. We post requests for items such as fridges, washing machines, microwaves, clothing, curtains and carpets, and donors are then able to donate towards each item until the need is met.

This year generous donors helped us to support 100 individuals (from 131 referrals) to purchase over £14,500 worth of items they wouldn’t otherwise have been able to afford, supporting them in establishing tenancies, escaping crisis or building new lives following trauma. This was nearly double the number supported last year, and over 2.5 times the amount donated.

Winter Shelter

We were sadly not able to operate our Winter Shelter this year, but instead focused on supporting homeless guests through access to our social supermarket and other welfare support services. We also purchased two Urban Emergency Sleep Pods from Amazing Grace Spaces, working in partnership with Humankind and Hope Housing to place them so that they could be used for emergency accommodation.

innchurches.co.uk | annual report 2020-21 | 7 of 22

Although many of the groups we regularly support through our Food Hub suspended their services - at least initially - our team still processed 162 tonnes of donated and intercepted food (completely separate to the 90 tonnes of food purchased for foodbanks).

As groups began to resume services, this food allowed us to support our regular client groups as and when they needed food, including community groups, faith groups, asylum and refugee projects, homeless provision, schools and other organisations.

In total during our pandemic support period (March 2020 to July 2021) we redistributed 460 tonnes of food (172 tonnes of purchased food to foodbanks and 288 tonnes of intercepted food).

Our Food Hub is not a food bank: food is distributed through community organisations across Bradford (some of whom are food banks). Some collect food from us to provide community meals, or meals as part of their activities (for example afternoon snacks for a children’s activity project, a lunch club for the elderly), some take one of our preprepared mini markets which make fresh food available on a pay-as-you-feel basis to those who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford to eat healthily.

Food Savers�� Network

The FoodSavers Network aims to reduce dependency on foodbanks and free food provision, by combining sustainable low-cost food markets with easy access to a Credit Union, as part of the wider food support ecosystem.

Membership of a FoodSavers project costs £6 per week and allows members to take home a good basket of fresh fruit and vegetables as well as store cupboard produce each week, plus other benefits including a Credit Union savings account and access to advice dropin sessions, discounts, cookery classes and volunteering opportunities. Individuals can be referred by a wide range of agencies, or they can self-refer.

Our pilot has painted a compelling picture of guests accessing the FoodSavers service feeling empowered to feed their families, pleased at having the choice and flexibility to pick their own food items and grateful for the opportunity to contribute towards feeding themselves rather than relying on handouts. As one lady said,“I came in feeling suicidal and I am leaving feeling I have HOPE.” Whilst by no means a complete answer, FoodSavers is intended to be a bandage rather than a sticking plaster.

Our vision is to grow a network of FoodSavers projects where our members have dignity and self-respect, are empowered to make their own choices about good food, have opportunities to learn new skills, and can start saving as a member in a recognised Credit Union Scheme. We’re working with a partner to develop a secure online infrastructure to support the network, and drawing together the learning from our pilot projects to support new projects wanting to join the network – we have six projects already signed up, including our own twenty two Shaw House social supermarket, and more in the pipeline.

Lockdown restrictions didn’t prevent us from running our fullest cooking programme ever, albeit with more than the usual planning and creativity to ensure safety: with measures including holding classes outside, one-way systems, PPE, smaller classes, cookingfrom-home recipe boxes, Zoom classes and online videos.

We ran 35 kids’cooking workshops over the summer 2020 holidays, with another 10 spookily-themed classes during October half term and 9 festive treat classes at Christmas. We also ran online Christmas cooking classes for adults. In February half term we ran a kids’ cooking challenge, delivering 45 boxes of ingredients to kids for them to use their imagination to create healthy and tasty meals.

At Easter it was back to in-person classes with 13 hands-on workshops for kids, and another 100 FoodChallenge boxes. We also worked with Health Action Local Engagement (HALE) in Shipley, Bradford Inclusive Disability Service (BIDS) and local schools to teach cookery skills and the importance of a healthy diet.

Finally, in June we offered kids another 4 cook+eat classes, a CIEH food safety course and more of our FoodChallenge boxes.

Through the year we worked with BIDS and others to provide recipe parcels, each with a recipe and the required ingredients. Recipes included shepherds pie, butternut squash muffins and various curries, cakes and biscuits. We also cooked hearty soup for customers at our social supermarket, and demonstrated a range of soup recipes at Bradford SOUP online events.

Find a Foodbank

In November we launched a new website to act as a one-stop shop for food support in Bradford.

The site allows individuals and referral agencies to find their nearest foodbank or low-cost food pantry and how to get or make a referral. The site also lists meal provision for people who are homeless and during lockdowns signposted those who are unable to access food to the Council helpline.

www.bradfordfoodbanks.org.uk

Feeding the army

In December we were privileged to deliver pre-Christmas treats to troops supporting the COVID-19 test and trace operations in Liverpool. With donations from Fareshare Yorkshire, Marks & Spencer and others, we were able to deliver care packages of biscuits, chocolates, drinks and snacks to members of the Coldstream Guards and Royal Artillery who were deployed for two weeks, and still there over a month later.

Bradford SOUP

Our highly successful Bradford SOUP events, in partnership with Bradford Bronte Rotary Club, continued online throughout this year as we reached our 20[th] event. Winners this year ranged from disadvantaged children to deaf footballers via micro allotments, parks, a debt centre, a refugee art exhibition and more.

www.bradfordsoup.org.uk

FoodChallenge21

For a week from 21st March 2021, around 90 people took part in our FoodChallenge21: to feed their family for a week on just £21, the typical amount that a family in crisis has to spend on their weekly shop.

It was certainly a challenge, and many people commented that although they knew it would be hard, they hadn’t realised just how difficult they’d find it: with others noting that one of the things that helped get through it was to know you’d be back to“normal”the next week.

“This, for us, was a ‘one off’, so we could walk a mile in another person’s shoes, and understand the tremendous difficulty of budgeting and having to account for every penny when buying food. It was difficult enough for one week, but knowing that there are so many people for whom this is an unrelenting way of life is heartbreaking.”

Financial review

Total income for the year was £358,283 (2020: £506,008). Total expenditure for the year was £416,681 (2020: £371,081).

Net expenditure for the year was £58,398 (2020: £134,927 income), including net income of £16,616 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £75,014 on restricted funds, after transfers. Going concern At the time of signing these accounts the charity has been impacted by the global COVID-19 virus. The trustees have reassessed the charity's ability to continue for at least twelve months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Reserves policy

The charity’s free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at 30[th] June 2021 were £61,206 (2020: £59,079).

The charity’s reserves policy states that it will hold three to six months’ expenditure as unrestricted reserves, equivalent to £104,170 to £208,341 in 2020-21.

Free reserves are therefore below the required level. However, 2020-21 expenditure included a significant proportion of Council-funded work which finishes in July 2021 and therefore expenditure (and consequently reserves required) will decrease.

All other incoming resources and resources expended derive from continuing activities.

Independent Examiners' Report to the Trustees

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 30 June 2020, which are set out on pages 12 to 19.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the charitable 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’). Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. Independent examiner’s statement

Since the charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ACCA which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. 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

  4. 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 (FRS 102)].

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.

Notes to the accounts

1. Accounting policies

Basis of accounting

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by 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) and with the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The Trustees have decided to depreciate motor vehicles on a straight line, rather than reducing balance, basis: see also note 5. This year, Acts435 has been excluded from the SOFA / balance sheet: see note 4. There have been no other changes to the accounting policies since last year.

Going concern

The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Grants and donations

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.

The value of donated goods is not recognised at the point of donation on the grounds that it is impractical to measure the fair value with sufficient reliability. Where donated goods are sold the income is recognised at the point of sale.

Expenditure and liabilities

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Taxation

As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £2,500 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost over their expected useful economic lives as follows:

Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. The costs of contributions are recognised in the year they are payable.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.

Leases

Rents under operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the lease term or to an earlier date if the lease can be determined without financial penalty.

Acts435 and Credit Union

The charity is an Advocate for the Acts435 scheme. We post requests for help on the Acts 435 website on behalf of our beneficiaries who are in need. Donors visiting the Acts435 website can then donate towards those requests. We then ensure that the donation is spent on the help requested by the beneficiary.

In this way we are acting as agent. The actual donations are made to Acts435 (a registered charity), who are eligible to claim Gift Aid on the donations (which fund its operational costs). This is how that charity funds its operational costs. During the year we received £11,780 of funds and disbursed £11,533 of funds.

Purpose of restriction

At the year end the charity was holding £755 relating to the scheme. This sum has been excluded from the cash balance at the year end and the donations received and passed on have also been excluded from the accounts in accordance with the Charities SORP FRS102.

(In previous years, Acts435 has been treated as a restricted fund included in the SOFA and Balance Sheet, necessitating a restating of last year’s figures).

The charity also process member contributions to the Credit Union which are excluded from the accounts. This year we received £176 from members and sent £166 to the Credit Union, holding a balance of £10 at the year end.
