Additional		governance				issues		(Optional information)
									Trustees are generally selected from the body ofmembers and voted		into
									post at the Annual General Meeting. Those being proposed are
									encouraged to discuss the role with current trustees and	are provided	with
									the Charity Commission Booklet "The Essential Trustee".	They are also
									required to fill in a trustee self-declaration form to ensure	they are not
									barred from fulfilling the role.
									Rachel Downes (chair) has worked closely with David McDonald who		is
									the Chief Executive Officer. The wider body oftrustees bring skills and
									experience that aid in the proper management ofthe charity.
									We now have 3paid members ofstaff, Rob Booth who fulfils the important
									and demanding role ofWarehouse Manager, meeting regularly with
									trustees, Frank Colbourn who holds the post ofAssistant	Warehouse
									Manager, and Vikki O'Donnell who fulfils the demanding	role ofProject
									Manager answering to the Management Team.
									The charity as a whole depends on its many wonderful volunteers who		put
									in an incredible number ofvoluntary hours. Without their	help and support
									this work would not be possible.
									As a charity we work under the guidelines ofthe Trussell	Trust, whom	we
									are affiliated to. This provides us with the benefits ofa comprehensive		on
									line Operations Manual providing the core ofour policies	and procedures,
									together with an excellent Information Technology system	upon which	we
									record and report upon our operation. These systems help us to manage
									the charit and minimise risk. Further ex ertise can be called u on from
TAR										September 2022

			In May of2018, with help from Trussell Trust, we implemented GDPR
			changes to bring us into line with the new law.

Summary ofthe objects charity set out in its governing document		ofthe	To relieve persons in Warrington and surrounding areas who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress by the provision offood and other household items, in such ways as the trustees see fit.
Summary ofthe main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within			The key purpose of Warnngton foodbank is summed up in its objects, namely to relieve persons in Warrington and surrounding areas who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress by the provision offood and other household items, in such ways as the trustees see fit.
this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)			The trustees have carefully considered the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and are satisfied that the charitable aid, namely food, that is provided, is made available to the "public" in such a way as to relieve poverty and seek to prevent the need reoccurring. The "benefit" that results means that the hungry are fed and that positive signposting is given to aid the individual in the medium or long term.
			Our charity operates a "voucher only service" and relies upon partnership with agencies that carry out the assessments for vouchers. This practice ofworking with agencies, located across the town, provides the trustees with confidence that the public are helped appropriately and that
			everything possible is done to ensure that core issues are addressed. The agencies we work with range from Housing Associations to Mental Health professionals, from Schools to those working with ex-armed
			services personnel, and G.P.surgeries.
			Once a voucher has been issued, the individual collects the food at one
			of our four distribution centres. These are located at:
			Unit 2 Tanning Court —Town Centre
			Emmaus Church —Orford
			Quench Cafe —Culcheth
			St Thomas' Church —Stockton Heath.
			The "benefit" can be best demonstrated by the figures shown later.
Additional details of	objectives		and activities (Optional information)
			Warrington Foodbank relies upon a number ofthings in order to fulfil its objects. The trustees would therefore like to record their thanks to:
			Our many volunteers in whatever capacity.
			Warrington Borough Council for the provision of3warehouses on an
			affordable basis and their continued support.
			Golden S uare sho in for the rovision ofa charit unit which is

			suffering. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case and the foodbank is still
			needed. Universal Credit is now fully active, however some families will
			continue to need the foodbank, but we now believe that the need is
			ingrained and we cannot see a time when it will not be needed.
			The Trussell agreement with Tesco is now a twice-yearly collection in
			July 8 December and local agreement has been made for an ad-hoc
			September collection. We now have three local Asda stores on board
			with collection points in each store. We have collection points in
			Sainsbury's at Chapelford, Rushgreen, The Cross in Lymm, Culcheth,
			Stockton Heath and more recently in Woolston, where Warrington
			foodbank were asked to formally open the store.

Briefstatement		ofthe	Warrington foodbank currently holds at31"May 2022 a bank balance	of
charity's	policy	on reserves	f293,565.44 compared to the f292,833.28 held at the same time last
			year. This very small change is because expenditure effectively equalled
			income over the year.
			The majority ofincome is from "ad-hoc" donations rather than regular
			commitments, which in combination with the unpredictability ofthe
			public's need for foodbanks in the future makes financial planning
			difficult. This suggests a cautious approach to reserves is appropriate	so
			the current reserves are welcome rather than inappropriate. The
			Financial Policy document states that reserves dropping below the
			previous year's expenditure would be an appropriate trigger level for the
			trustees to review the charity's financial position. This level has been
			increased from the previous year due to additional employees (now 3)
			meaning that regular monthly commitments have increased significantly.
Details ofany funds materially in deficit			None
Further	financial	review details	(Optional information)
			Although financial donations have decreased since last year, they have
			remained significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels. The amount of
			media attention towards Foodbanks at a national and local level suggests
			that this may continue for the immediate future.
			There has been a generous increase in food donations from businesses
			that has, to some extent, compensated for a drop offoffood donations
			direct from the public. Much ofthis has been in the form offresh
			foodstuffs, often short dated. The combined effect is a trend to providing
			a larger proportion offresh and purchased goods. The increased
			turnover, compared to pre-pandemic levels, has required the employment
			oftwo additional staff. All ofthis has placed increased demands on the
			finances.
			Towards the end ofthe year itwas necessary to purchase significant
			stocks offood in order to fulfil picking-list requirements. This means that
			although we broke even over the year as a whole, we operated with a
			deficit off50,000over the last quarter. This was made up of828,000
			additional food urchases and f22,000for urchase ofa new vehicle.	If
