The financi31 statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note I to
the financial statements and comply with the charity's constitution, the Charities Art 2011 and 'Accounting
and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their

Objectives and activities
Public benefit
The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what artivities
the charity should undertake. The objects of the CIO are the prevention or relief of poverty in Strafford-upon-
Avon and surrounding areas in particular but not exclusively by providing emergency food supplies to
individuals in need and/or charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty.
Activities
In January 2025, we discussed and confirmed that our Strategic Plan remains aligned with our Charitable
Objetts.
Wision.. To provide emergency food and support in Stratford-upon-Avon and surrounding areas for people in
need, and to work with partners to prevent and relieve poverty.
Our Two Core Strategies:
Effective provision of emergency food parcels and support for people in crisislneed
Work with partners to understand and help alleviate the root causes of poverty
We are now implementing our key plans to deliver these strategies. with details found below.
Achievements and performance
2024125 has been another busy year with the following key metrics:
No material change in food parcels distributed. although we fed slightly more children
12023124 1,882 vs 2024125 1,9071
5,296 parcels were distributed in the year compared to 5,264 in the prior year
Food Donations received during the year amounted to 42.8 tonnes of stock
In addition we purchased stock- 14.4t, including 5.lt fresh food

TRusfEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025
Our Activities can be grouped into three areas:
l. Food distribution ond home deliveries
As we had been unable to secure new premises during this reporting year, we continued to
distribute five weekly sessions at four different locations, namely at The Ken Kennet Centre, two
sessions at Escape Arts. Bishopston and Meon Vale.
We have also 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 202412025 we made 359 home deliveries, feeding 856
people. compared to 454 deliveries and 1.052 people in the year before - a slight decrease in both
the number of deliveries and people fed.
We have continued with our Support Agency Spotlight. where agencies 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 causes of poverty which our clients are experiencing.
Food Suppty and Storage
Our main warehouse has been very busy throughout the year and, with demands outstripping
donations. we have increasingly needed to purchase food. At the end of the financial year, we were
holding 8.5t of stock compared to 11.2t at the end of the previous financial year (due partly to less
successful supermarket food drives in October and November). As in 2024125, we carried out two
stock checks during the year.
3. Projects

MAP
Financial Inclusion
Our Financial Inclusion support has continued to be in great demand. This has been provided in
partnership with Coventry Independent Advice Service. supported through generous funding from
Trussell. Despite facing some operational challenges. we have continued to deliver many positive
results for our clients.
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 S.It distributed. With minimal wastage and much
positive feedback from clients, we have no plans to stop providing this option.
Christmas Ham
In December 2024 we delivered 458 hampers13.lt stock). fulfilling every nomination received. The
majority of this was paid for through funding from both Municipal Charities and Heart of England.
Preparations were already being made in November 2025 to continue with this much welcomed
work for Christmas 2025.

School Holida
Lunchboxes
With the support of a Warwickshire County Council Local Welfare Scheme grant, we continue to
distribute lunchbox hampers over the six-week summer holiday period, during the February, May
and October half term holidays and the Easter holidays. Over the last year this has benefited 548
children, an increase of 49% on the previous year.
Financial review
This year we have been immensely grateful to Heart of England Community Energy for their support
funding our distribution model and offering much needed monies towards our running costs. Desplte this,
we needed to draw on our reserves making an overall loss of £39k. The main reasons for this are highlighted
below:
We continued to pay higher rents and premises costs while we searched for more suitable
premises to meet our future needs.
b. Overall our financial donations fell by around 8% although we continue to receive regular
5UPPOrt from many local churches, schools. businesses. charitable organizations, councils and
local people to help us to fund our operating costs.
During the year, we incurred costs on the removal of our previous storage unit which was based
at Tescos.
d. Our funding from Trussell towards our Foodbank Manager ceased in May lalthough we have
since managed to obtain partial funding from the Stratford Town Trust towards this post)
e. The need for a Fundraising Officer was recognized early in 2025 and monies were set aside to
put in place a fund raising strategy and recruit someone to assist in this vital area for the future.
It was recognised that this would result in up front costs. but that this should in the long run
improve our financial position. This post was recruited to and commenced in August and we are
beginning to see the positive impact of this in the new year.
In spite of the above there are a number of positives. Whilst our food donations fell by 12.60A, numerous
organi5ations and businesses gave monetary 5UPPOrt. many highlighting their interest in our fresh food
offers. This paid for all our food purchases for the year, including our lunchboxes in the school holidays and
Christmas hampers.
Trussell continued as a key provider of grants during this financial year. although our Pathfinder funding for
our Foodbank Manager and part-time Development Worker came to an end in September. Furthermore,
their support for our Money Advice Project IMAP) will cease in the coming year and we are currently
reviewing how best to deliver this service going forwards.
The impact of the above has been a decrease in our overall reserves to £321k. Of this, £28k relates to monies
received towards restricted project5 and £17k is advance payments towards performance related grants.

STRATFORD-UPON-AVON FOODBANK
TRusfEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025
During 2024125 the Trustees reviewed our Reserves Strategy taking note of our 3 year strategic plan. In light
of our significant reliance on our many supporters to provide food and cash donations at a time of increasing
economic pressure, we agreed to set aside £IOOk to ensure our ability to continue to meet the potential
demands upon us. This would effectively cover us for around 6 months giving u5 time to review our costs/
income, taking necessary attions. whilst continuing to deliver our much needed services. More recently we
have also agreed to designate funds towards the continuation of MAP until September 2026.
In December 2025, we finally found and signed an agreement on our new premises in Stratford after a long
search. This will be a combined warehouse and distribution centre, but involves significant costs to refurbish.
Work is underway and we hope to move to our new building by May 2026, when we will finally leave Fred
Winter Centre. The financial impact of this move will be substantial and will result in further losses in 2026 as
we will be paying for two buildings for some time. Capital expenditure will also be significant, but we are
confident this will provide a more inviting environment for our clients, better working conditions for our staff
and volunteers and sufficient capacity for the future.
We are fortunate that we have reserves available to enable this move, but we are also indebted to numerous
organisations who are supporting us to achieve this change.

Recruitment and oppointment of trustee5
Unfortunately, due to unexpected personal circumstances, two Trustees had to Step down during this
reporting year. Another Trustee recruitment drive commenced in November 2025 with a view
to recruiting sufficient new Trustees to provide the Board with resilience and the skills/experience to
continue to lead the Charity.
We have continued to make good progress in our Governance. reviewing and approving the following policies
during the year:
Holiday Policy
Absence Policy
Safeguarding Policy Ireviewedl
Serious Incident reporting policy Ireviewedl
Health and Safety Policy Ireviewedl
Organisational structure
Kate Morris, our Foodbank Manager left in August 2025 and we would like to recognize her huge resilience,
strong leadership, hard work and commitment. We have since been joined by Asher Deakin who started in
September 2025 and brings sound relevant experience and a strong skillset to take the Foodbank forward
and build upon Kate's work.
Sarah. our part-time Assistant Manager and Operational Lead continues to provide invaluable services
despite a very heavy workload this year. We also employ three part-time staff posts: a Distribution Session
Lead, and two van drivers to manage our satellite distribution model and parcel collection sessions in local
community settings.
As mentioned above we also recruited an Events and Community Fund Raising Officer, who also serves as a
key link between the foodbank and our local community.
We have had another very challenging year and are extremely thankful for the hard work and dedication of
our staff team, who, without exception, have risen to all the challenges they have faced and continue to
deliver our service. They work tirelessly and cheerfully to support people within our community on a daily
basis, often in very difficult circumstances.
We are also indebted to our Volunteers. Over the last year we have had over 160 volunteers. contributing
over 5,000 hours of unpaid time. 1,800 hours were in our Warehouse, 2,000 hours on front line Distribution,
with the remaining 1,200+ hours across food drives, supermarket collections, home deliveries, events and
other initiatives. We remain completely in awe of all the time given and the terrific work that our volunteers
continue to undertake.
Finally we want to record our grateful thanks to Mercedes and Multibanks (The National Family Centre.Ltdl
who provided an electric van for our use in the latter part of the year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025
Accounting policies
Charity information
Stratford-upon-Avon Foodbank is a charitable incorporated organisation, based in England and Wales,
established by a constitution on 24th July 2013. The charity's principal address is Fred Winter Centre,
41 Guild Street, StratFord-upon-Avon, CV37 6QY.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's constitution, the
Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland" {"FRS 102,1 and the Charities SORP "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 1021" leffective I
January 20191.
The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement
of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008
only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the
Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the
Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been
withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity.
Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal
accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the
charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus
the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial
statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their
charitable objectives.
Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the Trustees for
specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the
financial statements.

and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable
to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one
activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those
activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net
of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values
over their useful lives on the following bases-

Motor vehicles
25% straight line

The trustees have designated these funds at a level equivalent to 12 months expenditure. This will
ensure in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's attivities
while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds maybe raised.
During the year £16,973 was transferred to designated funds to ringfence these funds to enable the
continuance of the MAP project after April 2026. Ot this amount, £10,309 was transferred from
restricted. This is partly due to underspends that were then sanctioned by the original donor for this
use and partly due to the restrittion of funds that should have been unrestricted in prior years.
