## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT**
For the year ended 31 March 2021
The Trustees of The Bede Foodbank are pleased to present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2021.
These financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **Our Purpose**
- a) To show the love of Christ by the prevention or relief of poverty in the West end of Newcastle upon Tyne and surrounding areas, in particular, but not exclusively, by providing emergency food parcels to individuals in need and/or charities or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty.
- b) To do any other thing consistent with the primary purpose of the Charity as described above.
## **Our Objectives and Activities**
We have identified strategic objectives to achieve our purposes. These are:
- To provide food parcels, emotional and practical support for persons and families in crisis;
- To provide longer term support through a holistic range of services to address their individual needs with the aim of putting their lives on a sustainable footing;
- To be recognised as a model of excellence in helping take people and families out of poverty and into productive and fulfilling lives;
- To raise awareness with the general public of the nature, impact and prevalence of food poverty and its underlying causes;
- To influence and shape policy and service delivery relating to the causes and alleviation of food poverty;
- To build and maintain effective governance, management and staffing to support the delivery of all our objectives;
- To maintain physical and financial stability of The Bede Foodbank in order to achieve its objectives.
## **Direct Services Activity**
During the period of this report, we operated a total of six food distribution centres across Newcastle City together with our warehouse. These distribution centres are
1
**THE BEDE FOODBANK CIO TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT** For the year ended 31 March 2021
situated in The Bede Church Hall, Benwell, Byker, Heaton, Lemington and Galafield in northwest Newcastle. The Venerable Bede Church on the West Road and Benwell are the principal distribution centres in the west of the city. The other distribution centres in Byker, Heaton, Lemington and Walker are satellite centres operated in partnership to provide a citywide network of centres for people living in poverty and affected by food insecurity. This reflects agreement with some of the existing foodbanks in the east of the city to sustain their operations.
The Foodbank also provided bulk food donations to Newcastle Central Mosque, a partnership which commenced in November 2020. Development of this network of food distribution centres was in direct response to an increased demand for food due to the worsening socio-economic situation caused by the Coronavirus pandemic and its disproportionate impact on vulnerable communities.
In this reporting period, the Foodbank honoured 24,100 food parcel vouchers which fed approximately 56,850 people across our network of centres. Many of these beneficiaries were children (23,172) living in families blighted by poverty. It took 310,000kg of food to fill the parcels issued by our distribution centres. Much of this food (256,000kg) was received in donations from members of the public, schools, the business community, supermarkets, and other foodbanks. A further 54,000kg of food was purchased by the Charity at a cost of £63k from suppliers. In total, the Foodbank issued food to its beneficiaries with a combined in-kind worth of circa £542k if valued at £1.75 per kg using the Trussell Trust’s estimate formula. Our charity is grateful for the food donations received as they are a vital resource which enable the Foodbank to fulfil its objectives and activities.
## **Awareness Raising Activity**
The Charity remained actively engaged in a series of media campaigns to increase public awareness of food insecurity and poverty. In this reporting period, the work of the Foodbank has received regular coverage in the local press and on regional radio and television. Our Charity uses its website, Facebook pages and Twitter to promote a greater awareness about the challenges of living in poverty and our work to reduce its effects on people’s lives.
## **Regard to Public Benefit**
When exercising any powers or duties in the operation of The Foodbank, the Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

## **Contribution made by Volunteers**
The contributions of volunteers to the services the Foodbank provides are immeasurable. Many of our volunteers had to shield from COVID-19 which hindered their regular attendance. However, others were able to continue volunteering and their efforts enabled the Charity to keep its doors open throughout lockdown. We are grateful for their compassion, commitment, and contribution to all aspects of the Charity’s services. Over the course of the year, we had 78 people who provided 14,300 hours of their time, making an estimated in-kind contribution of £124k to the Charity by serving people in their time of need. The importance of the roles fulfilled by our volunteers is greatly appreciated and essential for the delivery of our services.
In addition to the support from private individuals, we also record our appreciation to the organisations that provide volunteers throughout the period to augment our regular volunteers volunteering activity at the Foodbank, which include, among others, CISCO, NUFC Fans Foodbank and the Newcastle United Foundation.
## **Achievements and Performance**
This year has brought challenges like no other for the Foodbank. Coronavirus has impacted on peoples’ lives in unimaginable ways and has arguably hit the poorest sections of our society hardest. In response to the increased demand for food, whilst respecting social distancing and the challenge to maintain our welfare services, the Charity revised its food supply chain, restructured its distribution centres and expanded its network and the Pathways welfare support was aligned within the volunteer teams. The use of e-vouchers was introduced to streamline the client referral process and the referral networks were strengthened by adding new agencies offering improved coverage for client access across the city.
The Pathways Out of Hunger Project, with support from Newcastle City Council Round 10 Fund, continued the development of its welfare programme to support people as they tackle the causes of poverty and other factors that brought them to the Foodbank. In the 12 months to 31[st] March 2021, Pathways assisted 342 people presenting a variety of issues which were adversely affecting their wellbeing and livelihoods. Often, having no money was the major factor that people faced and the Pathways project helped to generate £98k in financial gains through benefit maximisations for a significant number of service users. The Pathways’ project supported 12 people to a stage where they no longer needed the Foodbank due to their improved financial circumstances.
One effect of the pandemic was a change in people’s shopping habits as many moved online to buy home deliveries. As a result, in-store food donations reduced as did the
3
## **THE BEDE FOODBANK CIO**
## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT**
For the year ended 31 March 2021
drop-off donations at our centres from the public. Lockdown and social distancing safeguards also saw the continued suspension to football games at St James’ Park and, with it, the end to donations from match-day collections. To counteract the loss of these donation streams, the Foodbank increased its online presence and social media activity to generate more donations through the Charity’s website donation platform. The positive response and the funds generated from this approach have enabled the Foodbank to purchase food and address the shortfall in donated food items.
## **Future Proofing**
The Charity plans to continue its development and strengthen its capacity to tackle hunger and poverty in Newcastle. Fallout from Coronavirus will increasingly impact most on the people who use the Foodbank and its welfare services.
To mitigate these challenges the Charity will:
- Recruit additional Trustees to the Board;
- enhance our Charity’s governance and management;
- produce a new three-year strategy and business plan;
- strengthen our food distribution centre network;
- broaden the welfare and guidance services Pathways has to offer;
- review and improve our policies, procedures, and practices;
- listen to what our clients and volunteers tell us matters to them;
- influence local government and show leadership to tackle hunger and poverty;
- improve our PR and fundraising activities to underpin the value of our work.
## **Financial Review**
The Charity, through the strong commitment of its staff, volunteers, external donors and fundraisers, has generated a stable financial outcome for the period. Total income for the year ended 31 March 2021 was £1,378k (2020: £586k), which included donations of food to the value of £478k (2020: £270k).
The Charity reported a surplus of £594k (2020: £190k). The balance sheet shows total funds carried forward of £1,006k (2020: £411k). Stock values of £117k (2020: £102k) are included in total funds.
## **Reserves Policy**
The Trustees consider that, due to its reliance upon voluntary donations, the Charity should have a policy of holding at least twelve months’ running costs, totalling
4
## **THE BEDE FOODBANK CIO**
## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT**
For the year ended 31 March 2021
approximately £300k in free reserves. Free reserves are unrestricted reserves not invested in fixed assets or stock and are held to cover shortfalls in funding and provide working capital. The Trustees are pleased to be able to report that the level of free reserves has increased to £837k at 31 March 2021 (2020: £274k).The growth in free reserves will enable the Charity to expand the range of its activities across the city and the Trustees are developing plans for capital expenditure and other additional areas of investment to respond to the demands arising from this strategy.
## **Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees have reviewed and considered relevant information, including the annual budget and future cash flows in making their assessment. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Trustees have revised their forecasts to take into account the impact on the business of possible scenarios brought on by the impact of COVID-19, alongside the measures that they can take to mitigate such impact. Based on these assessments, given the measures that could be undertaken to mitigate the current adverse conditions and the current resources available, the Trustees have concluded that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.
## **Audit dispensation**
An audit dispensation for the financial year ended 31 March 2021 was granted on 15 September 2021 for the Foodbank under Regulation 34(3)(b) of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. This dispensation is for the financial year ended 31 March 2021 only and allows an independent examination in place of an audit for this year. The dispensation was given based upon the information provided by the Trustees that:
- the income level of the Charity for this year was exceptional and an audit would be disproportionate;
- there are no constitutional or other requirements on the Charity which require an audit; and
- the Charity is not incorporated under company law.
## **Funding Strategy**
We have a Funding Strategy and Fundraising Plan to ensure that we secure the funds required to deliver all our charitable activities. Grant income has increased during the year, and we have seen a significant increase in the level of online cash donations. In
5

For the year ended 31 March 2021
addition, we are especially grateful to those significant donors who are named in Note 6 to the financial statements who have supported us in this difficult year. During the coming year, we shall be refreshing our Strategy and fundraising activity.
## **Risk Management**
The Foodbank has a wide range of policies in place which provide it with the means to manage the key risks. These policies include those for health and safety, equality and diversity, safeguarding, data protection, finance and employment and codes of conduct for staff and volunteers.

## **Changes in Board of Trustees**
Since the year end, Ms D M Robertson has retired as a Trustee. Ms Robertson has given exceptional service as a Trustee over many years and the Trustees wish to record their appreciation for the significant contribution she has made to the development of the Charity and its operations.
## **Structure Governance and Management**
## **Governing Documents**
The Bede Foodbank is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), first registered on 1 July 2013, and has a constitution as its governing document.
## **Appointment of Trustees.**
Every Trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the Trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as Trustees, the Trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.
The Trustees meet at least quarterly and deal with the administration of the Charity encompassing the strategic vision, financial accountability and risk management. The operational management of the organisation is undertaken by the Chief Executive Officer and the Charity’s employees.
## **Trustees’ Responsibilities in Relation to the Financial Statements**
The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The Charity’s Trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the CIO and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the Charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
7
## **THE BEDE FOODBANK CIO**
## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT**
For the year ended 31 March 2021
- state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES**
For the year ended 31 March 2021
I report on the financial statements of The Bede Foodbank CIO for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 10 to 23.
## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a Fellow of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners.
An independent examination was allowed by dispensation in place of an audit, the date when the Commission dispensed with this requirement was 15 September 2021.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
I 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.

## **THE BEDE FOODBANK CIO**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
For the year ended 31 March 2021
## 1 **Accounting Policies**
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation or uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
## 2 **Basis of accounting**
## 2.1 **Basis of preparation**
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The accounts 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 of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) – Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The Bede Foodbank CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
## 2.2 **Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees have reviewed and considered relevant information, including the annual budget and future cash flows in making their assessment. In particular, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Trustees have revised their forecasts to take into account the impact on the business of possible scenarios brought on by the impact of COVID-19, alongside the measures that they can take to mitigate the impact. Based on these assessments, given the measures that could be undertaken to mitigate the current adverse conditions, and the current resources available, the Trustees have concluded that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.
## 3 **Income**
## 3.1 **Recognition of income**
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the resources, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is more likely than not that the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## 3.2 **Offsetting**
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by FRS102 SORP or FRS102.
## 3.3 **Grants and donations**
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria of income recognition are met.
13
## **THE BEDE FOODBANK CIO**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
For the year ended 31 March 2021
## 3.4 **Donated goods and services**
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
Donated services and facilities are included in the SoFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided that the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with the equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SoFA.
## 3.5 **Volunteer help**
The value of volunteer help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the Trustees' annual report.
## 3.6 **Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when received and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
## 3.7 **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any purpose of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the Trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
## 4 **Expenditure and liabilities**
## 4.1 **Liability recognition**
Liabilities are recognised when it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
## 4.2 **Charitable activities**
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of food distribution and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
## 4.3 **Governance and support costs**
Support costs have been allocated between governance and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## 4.4 **Irrecoverable VAT**
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## 4.5 **Creditors**
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.
