- Income is primarily in the form of; individual donations, corporate donations, funding applications and, under normal circumstances - fundraising events. 

- Trustees have considered the reserve funds they wish to retain appropriate to the charity's needs, based on its size and financial commitments. Trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily. We will ensure that we maintain sufficient reserve funds for staff salaries and general outgoings for six calendar months. Reserve funds are to be reviewed at Trustee meetings to ensure due diligence. 

## **Aim** 

The Objects of Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank are recorded in our Memorandum and Articles as follows; 

_'the prevention and relief of poverty in Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding area, by providing food to local people who are in need of emergency supplies, and by such other means as the Trustees may determine._ 

The Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank operates to Trussell Trust guidance for food distribution via a standard picking list. Every person with a voucher code can present at one of our foodbank distribution centres, where they will receive three days of emergency food. Food is distributed out to all individuals experiencing temporary food crises due to poverty, sudden loss of employment, reduction in hours of work, benefit-related issues, or other emergencies within their household. Individuals can receive up to three vouchers per crisis as a general principle. However, the team reviewed the voucher status regularly, and throughout the pandemic and beyond vouchers increased to eight. The Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank supports people referred by a wide range of frontline agencies operating across the city, including Citizens Advice, schools, Social Care & Health, and statutory and voluntary sector organisations. 

Guests attending Foodbank sessions received a warm welcome and additional support through signposting. Signposting ensures that our guests receive the best help to resolve their issues/crises; also the opportunity to access financial inclusion support, benefits and debt advice. However, the Operations Manager altered our operating model during this reporting period to comply with Covid 19 Government social distancing regulations. Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank works with partners to reduce the requirement for foodbank clients to make return visits. 

## **Words of introduction from Keith Stubbs Chair of Foodbank Trustees** 

## **Hello Friends of Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank** 

This is my final AGM and delivery of the Annual Report as Chair of Trustees. 

After 7 years serving as a Foodbank Trustee, 6 of which in the position as Chair, now is the right time I believe to stand down so that the Board together with their new Chair can continue to oversee the vital work of the Foodbank that is so very much needed across the city. 

Every annual report that I have personally delivered since taking over as Chair in 2017 has unfortunately shown a trend moving in the wrong direction. During the whole of the calendar year for 2017, a total number of 9,137 individuals received an emergency food parcel, as of the 21[st] September this year, since January we have already served 13,530 individuals and I have no doubt that when the annual report is delivered in 12 months’ time, these figures will once again be even worse.

But as I said in my introduction last year, it is during exceptional times of difficulty that we get to see the best in people, and once again that is exactly what Trustees have seen during this reporting period. Firstly, thanks to our amazing team based at the warehouse, who have continued to work tirelessly during this period, with some making sure that all distribution centres continue to receive their weekly food crates on time, others ensuring that our partnership work with schools, churches and businesses continues to expand, and others still who interact daily with referral agencies making sure that the right people receive the support they so desperately need. Secondly, as for our volunteers who week in week out continue to serve with such dedication and enthusiasm at local level, Trustees continue to be grateful and inspired by their selfless giving, making sure that the needs of our guests are met in a caring and compassionate way. 

There hardly seems to be a day that goes by where the work of foodbanks don’t get mentioned in either local or national media. We see or read about the stories of those in hardship who comment about how vital this food support was for them, and I guess that over this coming winter as the cost of living crisis starts to bite harder than ever, more and more stories will emerge of individuals and families having to rely upon their local foodbank to simply survive. 

I cannot help feeling that once again this next chapter for the Foodbank is going to be more challenging than ever, but like last year, I wish to close on a positive note. I am more confident than ever that the Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank charity, run by an excellent team of Trustees, staff and volunteers, has never been more prepared and ready to face whatever challenges come their way. 

I commend to you this 2021/2022 annual report and trust that your support will continue into 2023 and beyond.

## **Activity** 

During the 2021/22 reporting period, local schools, businesses, faith groups, individuals and over 200 volunteers have continued to provide vital support to the Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank despite the impact of the pandemic. Local people and organisations have donated food and other essential items, enabling the Foodbank to provide 14,754 three-day emergency food parcels through the usual referral route; 8,929 adults and 5,825 children.The additional home delivery service continued for those most affected by Covid who were required to shield or self-isolate, which enabled these individuals and families to have access to food provisions and other essentials and delivery to their doorstep. 

The top three reasons for foodbank referral were: 

low income (43%);  benefit delay (13%);  benefit changes (11 %):

## **Summary of achievements & developments during the 2021/22 operating period** 

_All Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank activity indicated below should be read against the backdrop of the exceptional circumstances resulting from the pandemic. Our Trustees wish to formally express their thanks and appreciation to all individuals who have worked tirelessly to ensure that Foodbank operational activity continued throughout this challenging period._ 

1. Trustees and staff have focused an enormous amount of effort during the past 12 months to ensure that the Foodbanks' two priorities have been achieved; these include; 

   - The Foodbank ensured that the charity met its financial obligations 

   - The Foodbank ensured that they met demand; sufficient food provision and other essentials were in situ to meet the growing demand 

2. Emergency food provision continued to be distributed via the 16 food distribution centres across the city, including the two distribution centres in Biddulph. Foodbank operation resumed with the amended way of working that was introduced to all centres at the inception of Covid 19. This involved the guest receiving their emergency food parcels whilst waiting outside safely at each centre, maintaining social distancing and adhering to government policy. Guests also received parcel leaflets offering contact numbers and email addresses for additional support. In addition, the warehouse continued with the home delivery service to support citizens who were shielded or sick. The delivery service continued via Foodbank staff, volunteers and the Stoke City Community Team. 

3. The admin team expanded and continued with the much-valued in-house e-referral system; this gave the opportunity to triage guests and offer early intervention. Staff worked from the main office/home over extended hours to pick up direct and indirect referrals from guests and e-referral agencies for individuals who were unable to access foodbank vouchers. This represented a massive change in roles performed together with a huge increase in the number of calls and emails received. However, it was a great success that triggered and accelerated the transition to e-referral across our network of referral agencies. All referral agencies have completed our e-referral training and paper vouchers have now been phased out completely. Nicola Shaw’s outstanding work on this has been recognised by the Trussell trust and she has been involved in passing on this best practise to other foodbanks across the Trussell Trust network. 

4. The three roles created in 2020 to meet growing demands for our services have further evolved. Nicola Shaw in the role of Referral Agencies Coordinator developing and evolving our Referral Agency network, Caroline Wolfe in the role of Business and Community Liaison to improve working relationships with businesses, schools, and communities, and Maggie Bradley in the role of Centre Lead Coordinator, delivering centre volunteer inductions and coordinating centre training. These staff members have been invaluable and their roles intrinsic in the development of our Pathfinder Priority Action Plan. 

5. Lou Macari continues to offer his generous support; the foodbank receives regular monthly donations from the Macari Foundation. Special thanks are extended to Lou Macari for the extremely generous on-going support given to the Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank.

6. IT support has been invaluable from ARC IT Solutions, the Foodbank continue to contract them to deliver this service. 

7. Our AGM took place last October where the annual report and accounts were shared with all Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank friends, partners, volunteers and supporters. It was great to meet in person, share stories and enjoy a much-needed get together. Thank you to the team at The Bethel for providing a warm welcome and an amazing buffet. 

8. The warehouse has again been the epicentre of an enormous amount of activity, with a huge turnover of stock. 

## **Total food donated; 2021/22 – 122,755.63 kg down 16.39% on the previous year** 

## **Total food distributed; 2021/22 – 136,915.44 kg up 8.67% on the previous year** 

In May 2022 the 2021/22 annual stock audit took place and I am pleased to report that the audit was extremely successful with 37 tonnes of food in the warehouse at that time, the audit showed that there was only 216kg difference, which is a negligible discrepancy. This clearly indicated the efficiency and effectiveness of those running the warehouse. The May audit took place because of the delayed audit that was to have taken place March 2022 due to illness in staff members with Covid. The discrepancy shows a 0.58% loss which equates to exactly 216.47kg. 

9. Leading up to 2021/2022 year's Harvest Festival period Sept/Oct, Trustees were again not sure if schools would be able to support the Stoke-on-Trent foodbank due the pandemic. However, I am very pleased to report that because of Foodbank producing a promotional harvest video that the schools gratefully received last September, 58 schools came on board to support us. An enormous amount of food was subsequently donated by participating schools, far beyond our expectations. 13,477.24 kg of food was received during the Harvest Festival period, doubling the figures from the previous year. However, it is important that we continue to work hard to secure the support from even more schools going forward, so that the amount of food donated will meet the ever-increasing demand. 

10. Our partnership with Steelite International continues, involving the Foodbank storing long dated non-perishable food at their warehouse in Chesterton. This resulted in extra space being made available at our warehouse. Arrangements have been extended for the foreseeable future and currently there are approx. 827 crates being stored at this facility. Thanks go out to the Managers at Steelite for this ongoing support. 

11. Plans were put in place to further improve the warehouse facilities, work completed included; 

   - The new porta-cabin resides at the side of the warehouse, providing increased office space and a meeting room. 

   - Toilets were removed to allocate the much needed space for additional food storage 

   - The space outside of the front of the building was converted into a carpark for additional car parking. 

   - The driveway has been extended and the surface up the side of the building has been renewed, improving accessibility for the vans. 

   - Accessibility to the front of the warehouse was redesigned to meet disability requirements. 

   - New signage was erected around the building to improve branding and information for visitors.

In order to ensure that as many individuals and families as possible were be able to enjoy a festive meal on Christmas Day, discussions took place in the Autumn with a number of local businesses which resulted in an amazing response meaning that hundreds of Christmas dinners were sent out to struggling families across Stoke-on-Trent. During the month of December, Foodbank guests were issued with retail vouchers which they could exchange at Aldi and purchase a Christmas Day festive meal. Each voucher was issued in addition to clients receiving their 3-day food parcel. 

Altecnic Ltd and Neida Products. 

In addition, families were given Christmas gifts that supporters kindly gave us to help make sure our guests were able to more fully celebrate Christmas. 

£1,000 was given to a local church to support Christmas Day meals for the vunerable.100 meals were supported at The Bethel. Additionally meals were distributed through Jackie Ambler at the Stoke-on-Trent Community Night Shelter. 

15. Food drives - Tesco, Sainsburys and Asda continued with this activity on our behalf without the need for Foodbanks involvement. Lidl, and Morrisons have introduced collection points instore. We greatly value the ongoing support that we receive from the supermarket champions, especially in addition to food drives, Clare - Morrisons’ Festival Park Christmas Bauble Appeal nomination, Damon - Asda Tunstall Santa Elf Bike Ride and Liz - Longton Tesco & Karen - Meir Park Tesco with additional food and gifts. 

16. Money Matters - Benefit and Debt Advice has continued to be offered during the period of amended working. Advice delivered: one off advice 709, further advice 947, energy related advice 407, fuel vouchers 352, managed debt at year end £172,601, new benefit cases 7 and new debt cases 19. 

17.  PATHFINDER YEAR 2 

The Trussell Trust continue to recognise Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank as a centre of excellence due to the continuation of strong governance, the expansion of partnership working practices and the proactive approach and ability to challenge local poverty and hardship issues.

We are part of an extended, strategic network of Pathfinder foodbanks covering England (42), Northern Ireland (4), Scotland (9) and Wales (6). There have been more opportunities over the last year to meet with other Pathfinder Foodbanks, to consult, share best practices and develop the strategic plans that will take us forward in ‘Challenging the structural economic issues that lock people in poverty, and campaign to end the need for foodbanks in the UK' _(Trussell Trust Website, 09.2020)_ . 

- Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank is now an established 'Pathfinder Foodbank' working with the Trussell Trust to make a difference in the circumstances of people experiencing hardship in our local area. 

   - The Pathfinder Team have been awarded Trussell Trust funding to continue the roles on a much more focused level. The Pathfinder Lead, the Community and Development Liaison Coordinator and the Financial Inclusion team Money Matters have been granted the funds to continue their vital work for the next three years. 

- Following on from the three priorities of year one, in which, good progress was made, we have developed our strategic aims with a focus on the priority areas below: 

      - Referral Pathways 

      - Financial Inclusion 

      - Participation 

      - Changing Local Minds 

**Referral Pathway** relationships continue to develop with a strong emphasis on training, partnership and a shared vision; based on the understanding that Hunger in the UK isn’t about food – it’s about not having enough money coming in for the essentials. People at food banks have the lowest incomes in the country. (Trussell Trust Hub 2022) 

Referrals between agencies and support services also continue with a focus on signposting and sharing local information to give foodbank guests a choice in how they access advice, food and support. 

**Financial Inclusion** has developed with a stronger team to better meet the demand locally. More foodbank distribution centres are now hosting Money Matters on a rota basis to reach the maximum amount of people, enabling people referred to them to access income maximisation advice and support in order to reduce subsequent visits. Local strategic financial inclusion groups are well attended to keep up to date with local initiatives and responses. 

**Participation** involves people with lived experience who are invested in our action plan, so that policies designed to tackle poverty are better informed by the experiences of the people they are intended to support. People with lived experience are given a platform to share their experiences to not only improve our service and showcase what we do best but to inform our strategic planning and activities. 

**Changing Local Minds,** and, in turn, impacting local policy, communicating so that there is a greater understanding of local issues and root causes of poverty in our community. Referral agencies, schools, churches, businesses and other community groups are engaging with us in conversation to better understand the reasons that people come to our

foodbank, what caused their crisis and whether it was something that could have been prevented. 

   - We are now seeing increased awareness in how much everyone needs to cover the cost of living and tough decisions are being made; heating or eating? Giving communication opportunities, the Foodbank is asked for expert comment on the impact, causes and possible solutions. 

   - Media messages – consistently include this element 

   - Businesses – conversations and communications include this message 

   - Harvest video and other seasonal videos incorporate this 

18. The Foodbank website is updated on a regular basis, we encourage everyone to have a look at the site which will then keep you informed of activities and plans and also ways that you can support the charity: www.stokeontrent.foodbank.org.uk 

News, updates and partnership activity is reported, and can be followed on the Foodbank social media sites;

Instagram       https://www.instagram.com/stokeontrentfoodbank/ 

19. Media Engagement: 

   - For TV, we have received a continued interest from Sky News, BBC News, ITV News and Nick Knowles DIY SOS, providing ‘first hand’ accounts of the work of the foodbank and support provided to guests; including guests sharing their personal experiences. 

   - For Press, we have sent out copy/text which has been taken up about our needs and celebrating our support base and partnership working; and have responded to requests from publications such as The Independent, The Guardian, The Sentinel and Biddulph Chronicle to respond and comment on ‘live’ news items. An example of this was Corrine Boden MBE’s comment in response to the Chancellor’s Budget 23[rd] March 2022, The Guardian. 

   - Regarding our joint working with the Revival Charity: Revival offer a service that supports local people that are vulnerable, and are in need of support when being discharged from the local hospital and beyond, the foodbank initiative provides food parcels to make this transition quick and effective. This enables hospital beds to be freed up for a quick turnaround, thus working together to save the NHS tens of thousands of pounds. 

   - For Radio, foodbank regularly shared updates and comments regarding the needs of the foodbank, these updates were shared to BBC Radio Stoke, Signal Radio, Cross Rhythms and Churnet Sound. Additionally Cross Rhythms recorded and ran an advert raising awareness of the foodbank services and the up and coming demands that the charity were facing. Cross Rhythms shared how people listening could give ongoing support. We were also part of BBC Radio Stoke’s Christmas 2021 Make a Difference Appeal, where listeners were encouraged to support the needs of the foodbank.

24.       Stoke City Community Trust and Football Club, again helped the Foodbank last Christmas by carrying out a food collection at their ground and attended the warehouse to raise the profile for the work of the foodbank. 

## **Conclusion:** 

During difficult and hard times, charities are often one of those organisations hit hardest with income reducing and support dwindling when demand for their services is often greater than ever. Sadly, this is certainly the case for many foodbanks across the country including ourselves – see item 9 above. The pressures, for those tasked with the responsibility of running the Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank are relentless particularly for keeping both financial income and food donation flowing in. However, Trustees remain confident that we can ride out this particular storm as we have done with previous storms. Working together and supporting one another is at the heart of what we are good at, and from what you’ve read in this report, amazing outcomes have been achieved in the past 12 months as a result of working well together both internally and externally with partners. 

Thanks are therefore extended to all those who have continued to work, volunteer, generally support the work of the Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank charity, and long may your support continue. 

Chair of Trustees, 

Mr Keith Stubbs, 

4[th] November 2022 

Thank you for supporting

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank ("the Company")** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's 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'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank 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 2011 ('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 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, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank 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.

## **Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022** 

## **1 Charity status** 

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event ofliquidation. 

The address of its registered office is: Magdalen Road Blurton Stoke-on-Trent ST33HS 

## **2 Accounting policies** 

## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates** 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

## **Statement of compliance** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 oflreland (FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity. 

## **Income and endowments** 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably. 

## _**Donations and legacies**_ 

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 



## **Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022** 

## _**Grants receivable**_ 

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. 

## _**Charitable activities**_ 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

## **Governance costs** 

These include the costs attributable to the charity's compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees's meetings and reimbursed expenses. 

## **Government grants** 

Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

**Depreciation method and rate** Straight Line 25% Straight Line 33.3% 

**Asset class** Fixtures and Fittings LT. Equipment 



## **Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022** 

Motor Vehicles 

Land and Buildings 

Straight Line 25% Straight Line 15% 

## **Trade debtors** 

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. 

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

## **Fund structure** 

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

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. 

## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the cu ent and prior periods. 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
