## **- - Stratford Avon Foodbank upon Registered charity number 1153297** ## **Report by Chairman of Trustees April 2023** ## **Charity Commission Report** This report is for our financial year ending 30 November 2022 Following the reduction of the major restrictions of the COVID Pandemic we started this year back in our original cabins in the Tesco car park. This was a difficult situation at the then current levels of food distribution, but necessary as we were not able to move to our planned facility at the Fred Winter Centre until February of 2022. In the interim we were able to rent an additional building to help with space. We had been able to plan the detail of the layout at the Fred Winter Centre, and having finally moved there, the superior facilities have been appreciated by all – our volunteers in particular. We started the year with the planned two part time managers working in parallel. However, part way through the year one of managers resigned (having taken another job), and at the end of the year we appointed Kate Morris as the full time Foodbank Manager, with a plan to appoint an assistant manager reporting to her. We thank and congratulate Kate for taking up this position. Major thanks are also due to our willing cohort of volunteers whose support is central to the effective running of the Foodbank. This year we provided a total of 3713 food parcels. This was a higher figure than last year (3301), influenced by the complex arrangements then prevailing. We also collated and distributed a total of 404 Christmas Hampers, benefiting 1109 individual recipients (548 adults and 561 children). Our Money Advice programme, funded by the Trussell Trust, continued during the year with increasing numbers of clients taking advantage. This project is delivered in partnership with Citizens Advice South Warwickshire. This year four trustees resigned – Peter Jones, Julian Franey, Lavinia Derrick and Caroline Sampson. Four new trustees were appointed – Philip Dickinson, Mark Langley, Maggie Hedger and Davina Logan. The total trustee number was then seven – Nick Barter, Patty Page, John Dodge, Philip Dickinson, Mark Langley, Maggie Hedger and Davina Logan. We ended our financial year in November 2022in a healthy financial position with £276,451 of funds. This number being slightly exaggerated by funds received but not yet spent on the Money Advice project. Our thanks are due for grants and help from The Town Trust, The Trussell Trust, L&Q Foundation, Municipal Charities, Roscon Foundation, Lodders Charitable Foundation, Stratford Rotary Club, Coventry Building Society and generous donations from individuals and other local companies. Donations from individuals and companies continued to be higher than in previous years, and now represents a key part of our funding. We thank these individuals and companies for their crucial support. Nick Barter April 2023 Note A RESTRICTED FUNDS Note Opening bahnce In¢ome Expend￿Ure Closln8 balan 2022 2021 2022 2022 l.
