ObJecth￿S and activitles
Public benefit
The Trustees have paid due re8ard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities
the charity should undertake. The objects of the CIO are the prevention or relief of poverty in Stratford-upon-
Avon and surrounding a￿a5 in particular but not exclusively by providing emergency food supplies to
individuals tn need and/or charities, or other organi5ation5 working to prevent or ￿lIeVe poverty.
Attivities
In January 2024. we dlstU55ed and confirmed that our Strdte8ic Plan remaln5 allgned with our Charltable
Objects.
ision: To provide emergency food and support in Stratford-upon-Avon and surrounding a￿35 for people in
need. and to work with partners to p￿vent and relieve poverty.
(￿r Two Core Strate8les:
Effective provision of emergency food parcels and support for people in crisis/need
Work with partners to understsnd and help alleviate the root causes of poverty
We are now implementin8 our key plans to deliver these strategles, with details found below.
Athlevements and perfomiance
202312024 has been another busy year with the followin8 key metrics:
No material change in food parcels distributed, although we fed slightly le55 children {22123 1927
chIld￿n vs 23124 1882 children1-2%)
5.264 parcels were dlstributed in the year compared to 5,244 in the prlor year
Donations recelved during the year amunted to 50.5 tonnes of stock
In addition we purchased stock- 15.3L includlng 4.7t f￿h food
Our Artivities can be grouped into three areas:
11 Food distribution and home deliveries
Until the end of August 2024 the rnajority of our food was dlstributed from our base at the Fred Winter
Centre. On 23 August 2024 we stopped distributing from the Fred Winter Centre and added two additional
pop-up distribution locations at The Ken Kennet Centre and Escape Arts. Together with our weekly popup
session5 at Bishopton. an outer district of the town, and Meon Vale. a rural area sorne 7 miles outside of
town, this meant we were distributin8 from five weekly se55ions at four different location5.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024
l) Food distribution and home deliveries
continued
We have continued to offer a home delivery service for those clients unable to get to our base or able to
carry food parcels back home. In 2023/2024 we made 454 home deliveries, feeding 1,052 people, compared
to 487 deliveries and 1,229 people in the year before- a slight decrease in both the number of dellveries and
people fed. We have continued with our Support Agency Spotlight, where agencles attend some of our
distribution sessions to help provide further support to clients attending. This is all meeting our objective to
help alleviate some of the root cau5e5 of poverty which our clients are experiencing.
21FoodSu l andstora
Our main warehouse has been very busy throughout the year, and wlth the hlgher demands {which have
outstripped donations), we have increasingly needed to purchase food. At the end of the financial year, we
were holdin8 11.2t of stock compared to 9.2t at the end of the previous financial year (due to successful
supermarket food drives in13te November). We have undertaken two Stock checks during the year, the most
recent taking place immediately prior to us movin8 our distribution of food parcels from the Fred Winter
Centre.
Pro
ects
Durlng the year we contlnued to provide the following:
a. Mone Advice Pro
ram
MAP
Financial Inclusion
Our Financial Inclusion support has continued to be in great demand. This was run in partnership
with Citizens Advice South Warwickshire for the period to 30 September 2024, and subsequently
from 25 November 2024 with Coventry Independent Advice Service. Both projects have been funded
through the generous funding of the Tru55ell Trust and despite facing some operational challenges,
we have continued to deliver positive results for our clients.
a. Fresh Food
Our fresh fruit and vegetables provision continues to be popular with most of those receiving a food
parcel opting to accept what is offered. During the reporting year, the majority of our parcels
included some fruit and vegetables with over 4.7t distributed. With minimal wastage and much
POSltive feedback from clients, we have no plans to stop providing this option.
Christmas Ham
ers
This year we dellvered 458 hampers13.lt stock), fulfilling every nomlnatlon received. These included
book token5 as a Christmas gift for all children which wa5 very well received. We had carried forward
funding from both Municipal Charities and Heart of England Community Ener8y from Christmas
2023, whlch supported us for Christmas 2024.
School Holida Lunchboxes
With the support of a Warwickshire County Council Local Welfare Scheme grant, we distributed
lunchbox hampers over the six-week summer holiday period, during the February, May and October
half temi holidays and the Easter holidays, benefitlng 368 children.

Finandal review
Reserves poliry
This year has seen a number of changes with our move to a re￿Sed distribution model and our search for
more suitsble premises to meet our future needs. This coupled with a drop in food donations and the
subsequent need to buy more food has meant increased costs and reduced income. Despite this, we made a
surplu5 for the year of £34k and the following outlines some of the key points of note:
Food Su
Whilst our food donations fell by around IO%. numerous organlsatlons and businesses gave
monetary support. many highlighting thelr interest in our fresh food offers. Thls enabled us to fund
all our food purchases for the year, including our lunchboxes in the school hollday5 and Christmas
hampers.
b. Unrestricted Donation5:
We are Incredibly grateful for the support of local churches, schools, businesses, charitable
organizations, councils and local people to help us to fund our operating costs which in 2023124
amounted to £IOOk.
b. Restricted Grdnts:
Trussell has remained a key provider of grants during this financial year, however we know that some
of this will cease during 2025 wlth our Pathfinder funding for our Foodbank Manager and part-time
Development Worker coming to an end. Our funding from the Heart of England Community
Foundation
Inclusive Communities Fund has part-financed our Volunteer Manager post for one
year and the National Lottery - Awards for AIS funding, fInan￿d our food parcel collection point at
Meon Vale. Our year ended with securing three-year core c05t funding from Heart of England
Community Energy for our Dlstribution operation includin8 salary costs for the part-time posts of
Assistant Manager/Operational Lead, Distribution Session Lead, two Van Drivers and, when secured,
a new Distribution Centre.
b. Runnin
Costs:
We have continued to manage costs carefully wlth the most marked increases in staff cost5 linked to
our satellite distribution sessions previously mentioned. This has resulted in increased 5alarie5,
premises {when secured) and transport costs which will now be met by our Heart of England
Community Energyfunding.
The Impact of the above has been an increase in our overall reserves to £360k. Of this, £66k relates to
monies received towards restrirted projects and £57k is advance payments ti)wards performance related
grants. During the year the Trustees ￿vieWed our Reser4*es Strategy taking note of our 3 year strategic plan
and in light of our significant reliance on our many supporters to provide food and cash donation5 at a tirne
of increasing economic pressure. We agreed to set aside £ICMJk to ensure our ability to continue to meet the
potential demand5 on us, for at least a year. Thi5 would give us time to review our c05ts1income. takin8
necessary attion5, whi15t continuing to deliver our much needed services should the need arise.
