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

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

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