WARRINGTON FOODBANK ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2023

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT 31 MAY 2023

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Type of governing document Constitution How the charity is constituted Association Trustee selection methods Recommended by members/trustees. Elected at the Annual General Meeting. Between Annual General Meetings, appointed by existing trustees.

Additional Governance Issues (Optional information)

Trustees have historically been selected from the Foodbank volunteer base as needed.

From 2023 onwards trustees will ideally be given lead roles to help create a well rounded strategy and vision for the foodbank overall whilst also providing crucial oversight as needed.

New trustee roles will inevitably be identified via self review i.e. Health and Safety lead, a suitable role description created which is approved by the board and advertised within the existing volunteer base. Should a suitable candidate not be found the intention is to then advertise the role externally.

Applicable candidates will then be interviewed and voted on to the board based on their skills and abilities and given lead role responsibilities.

All trustees are asked to complete a self-declaration form to ensure they are not barred from fulfilling the role.

Several existing trustees are also dedicated volunteers and this can sometimes blur the lines between the strategic role of a trustee and the operational role of staff and volunteers thus recruiting trustees from outside the volunteer base whilst creating lead roles for existing trustees should be considered a real benefit.

The Trussell Trust has now created regular advice cluster meetings for trustees and it will be a goal for this year to ensure that every trustee attends at least 1 of these meetings.

The meetings should help trustees discuss issues and goals with trustees from other foodbanks and help focus trustees on the goals and ambitions of the trust.

The foodbank currently has 4 paid members of staff and these roles are continually reviewed by the trustees.

The foodbank continues to survive on donations raised and could not continue to operate without the hard work and dedication of the 100+ volunteers.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

To relieve persons in Warrington and surrounding areas who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress by the provision of food and other household items, in such ways as the trustees see fit.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit

The key purpose of Warrington 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 of food, and Children’s school uniform, in such ways as the trustees see fit.

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.

WARRINGTON FOODBANK ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2023

Our charity operates a “voucher only service” and relies upon partnership with agencies that carry out the assessments for vouchers. This practice of working 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:

We also operate a school uniform distribution centre from our Golden Square Shopping Mall unit.

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 of things in order to fulfil its objects. The trustees would therefore like to record their thanks to:

Particular mention goes to the following businesses: Central Car and Van Hire, Gulliver’s World, Unilever and United Utilities, The Ombudsman Service, R.S, Golden Square Shopping, Caddick Construction Asda Distribution hub, Morrisons Distribution Hub, Sellafield, Torus Housing, Amazon, and Warrington Voluntary Action.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Summary of the main achievements during the year

Many local Schools and Churches and communities worked with us adding to the generous Harvest Festival donations.

During the period 1st June 2022 to 31st May 2023:

Partner agencies, which are responsible for issuing our vouchers, number 93, a small increase on the previous year. A number of agency staff continue to volunteer for us in their spare time because they see the directly beneficial effect of the service.

We are concerned that there is no indication of a reduction in need for our services, rather a growth of need due to higher energy costs, increases in mortgage, and rent repayments impacting on family income. It is alarming that food poverty in our area and country continues to grow with no sign of slowing.

5

WARRINGTON FOODBANK ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2023

As with other towns and cities across the United Kingdom, Warrington has its fair share of Refugees, Asylum Seekers, and ex Hong Kong citizens, currently there are 9 Hotels being occupied by these people which again impacts on our service.

Again, our statistics show that every Council Ward has received vouchers with the most deprived areas showing most need but also recording 177 food parcels being issued to Lymm North and Thelwall, and 67 to Appleton Ward. It highlights that no area is exempt from need. 53.7% of meals go to people suffering from benefit changes or delays, up 1.7%. Almost 18% have some form of earned income but are struggling to make ends meet, and 4% goes to individuals or families suffering homelessness (Homelessness covers a wide range of situations from families housed by the local authority in emergency bed and breakfast accommodation to single people who are street homeless). Once again this year we continue to deal with many families involved in domestic violence.

Warrington has seen a tremendous increase in the number of refugees, and asylum seekers, and people from Hong Kong, the town now accommodates refugees and asylum seekers in 11 hotels throughout the town.

When Warrington Foodbank was started 11 years ago, it was thought that five years would be long enough to relieve the crisis that people were 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 during the covid period saw Tesco reverting to a twice yearly collection in July and December as from 2023 Tesco will revert to an annual collection in December, however the close partnership that exists currently with the Tesco Warrington store assures the availability to undertake “ad – hoc” collections whenever we feel it necessary to enhance our stock levels

We now have Three local Asda stores on board with permanent collection points in store. Sainsbury’s stores at Chapelford, Rushgreen, Woolston, Culcheth, and The Cross Lymm.

We now receive end of day produce from 9 Co-Op’s and 4 Sainsbury’s stores on a daily basis.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

At the end of the financial year Warrington foodbank had a bank balance of £372,049 compared to £293,565 at the start of the year. This is an extremely generous increase in funds (£78,483.91) over the year and has mainly arisen during the winter months.

The majority of income is from “ad-hoc” donations rather than regular commitments, which in combination with the unpredictability of the public’s need for foodbanks in the future makes financial planning difficult. This suggests a cautious approach to reserves is required, 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.

Details of any funds materially in deficit

None

Further financial review details (Optional information)

Financial donations have increased significantly this year, to the record level seen during the pandemic year of 2020/2021. I suspect that this is largely due to the publicity during the winter months surrounding the increased cost of living and associated publicity from the Trussell Trust nationally. Expenditure has remained steady over the last three years, despite a significant increase in the number of people presenting for assistance. Although it has again been necessary to purchase significant stocks of food in order to maintain minimum stock levels, to a large extent this has been mitigated by the support of local businesses, particularly supermarkets, via collection days and end-of-day produce.

The extraordinary generosity of all our supporters over thè last 12 months means that our current balance of cash and food stocks provide a sound basis to support the local communtty through the immediate fvture and indicates the Intensive fund raising initiatives are not cU￿entlY warranted. Regularoutgoings have increased signilicantty overthe la5tyear. In addition to now runnin8 3 warehouses lunits 2, 8 & 91 and employing an add(tional member of staff. now 4.
