PURLEY & KENLEY CHURCHES TOGETHER FOOD HUB Trustees Report for the year ended 31 March 2022 Achievements and performance In the year to 31 March 2022 3,783 (2021: 5,338) people have been provided with food and support has been given to other agencies in the form of food andlor information. From its inception in January 2013 to the end of August 2022 the food hub has provided food to 30,134 people. The Hub is staffed in all areas by over 105 volunteers who give their time in a variety of ways. The food is donated by members of the e1ve churches involved as well as gifts of food from schools, other churches and organisations and the general public together with monetary gifts from donors including commercial organisations. The general public give generously and can place food donations into collection bins placed in several local retail premises. In addition there are a number of 'yellow bins, throughout the area where donations can be made. A more detailed review of the year is available from the website www.purleyfoodhub.net. Financial Review The charity had total funds of £150,790 (including fixed assets, stock and cash at bank) at the year end. £8,374 of this is set aside to support Christmas Projects in the future, leaving general funds of £142,416. The Trustees, reserves policy is to hold cash reserves to cover food for clients and our running costs for approximately three months. The year end reserves are higher than this. The year to 31 March 2022 has been an exceptional year in many ways and one way has been the very generous financial donations we have received. To share this blessing Trustees have agreed to support a number of similar organisations in our part of the London Borough of Croydon. This support will be reviewed periodically to ensure we are sharing the appropriate amount and we have sufficient funds for the Purley Food Hub needs, bearing in mind the uncertainty of the times we are going through. Plans for the future We plan to continue the work we were called to do which is supporting those in food povety or providing food to people in crisis and caring for them in practical ways. We are continually looking at additional ways in which we can extend the ministry. We continue to improve our signposting information, realising that many clients need advice from other organisations that may be able to help them. Our client support volunteers are continuing to assist some of our clients who have complex needs so that they can better access help from other organisations. We will continue work with Purley and Kenley Churches Together to provide food hampers for families and toys for children at Christmas.

PURLEY & KENLEY CHURCHES TOGETHER FOOD HUB Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Purley & Kenley Churches Together Food Hub I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 4 to 7. Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) 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. 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 report 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: accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006. or the accounts do not accord with such records. or the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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; or the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102). 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.
