This change was considered necessary given the increased scale and costs of the Foodbank's operations plus the need to employ staff and potentially acquire premises. The new charity, registration number 1205793, commenced st operation on l April 2024. Both charities have the name Tewkesbury Foodbank. The year 2024/25 was a period of dual running of the old and new Bank Accounts to address such issues as gift aid claims and funds transfers and outstandin8 HMRC refunds. The separate accounts and annual reports for the two charities therefore each give an incomplete picture of the year and need to be read in conjunction with each other.
For the sake of clarity, the combined financial outcome for the year for both the old and new charity was: Old {1151000) £27,787.93(-20%) £18790.06 {-15%) New 1205793 £110,991.73 (-80%) £104,586.95{-85%) Total £138,779.66 £123,377.01 Income Expenditure Note that these figures include a restricted Trussell grant of £41,746.80 to cover the cost of a Citizen's Advice worker. The first five months of the grant (£17,421.15) was spent in the 2024/25 financial year, Excluding the remaining balance on this grant the outturn for the year across both charities was a deficit of £2,018.50 1.3 Overview (Executive Summary) The activities of the Foodbank during this period were carried out under the new charity (12057931.
