TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDING 31/03/2021 Atherton & Leigh Foodbank Charity Registration 1153333 c/o St John the Baptist Parish Church Market Place ATHERTON M46 0DD TRUSTEES Reginald William Sinclair David William Hughes Ian james Gardiner Karen Elizabeth Slayen Gail Slater The Charity is run by the Board of Trustees which meets monthly. It employs 1 Full time Project Manager who oversees the day to day activities of the Charity and a part time driver. The charity works with the Trussell Trust a national charity in the alleviation of food poverty primarily in the UK and accordingly we work according to the Trussell Trust principles and practices. Trustees are recruited by word of mouth and are interviewed by the board of Trustees to identify specific skills to add to the knowledge and running of the Charity. Its activities are as stated in its charity objectives and are as follows:- TO ASSIST PERSONS PRIMARILY IN ATHERTON, TYLDESLEY, LEIGH AND ITS SURROUNDING AREAS OR IN OTHER PARTS OF THE UK WHO ARE IN CONDITIONS OF HARDSHIP AND DISTRESS IN SUCH WAYS AS THE TRUSTEES FROM TIME TO TIME THINK FIT, IN PARTICULAR BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY, BY THE PROVISION OF FOOD TO ENSURE A HEALTHY AND NUTRITIOUS DIET DURING A PERIOD OF CRISIS WHERE THEY COULD NOT OTHERWISE OBTAIN FOOD TO EAT. In terms of achievements sufficient funds have been maintained to cover the running of the charity for at least another 3 years. Secondly sufficient food has been available throughout the whole of the year to enable us to give out a minimum of 3 days worth of meals for each and every family member who have been in food crisis. We currently still have a large stock of in date food to supply to our clients. In the twelve months we gave out a minimum of 3 days food to 4,275 Adults and 2,469 Children 16 years and under. Also various items of personal, hygiene, baby products and clothing plus occasional tents and clothing were also provided. A significant further improvement in the services offered is the change to a Financial Inclusion Hub financed by Trussell Trust where services from Citizens Advice and CAP (Debt and other welfare assistance) are now available . This is backed up by GMPA and the introduction of the MART form to aid signposting into the relevant areas of assistance for clients. Finally rounding off these new Services UNIFY Credit Union is also working in the Hub. As stated we are in a healthy financial situation with sufficient reserves to cover all current potential liabilities such as rent, gas and electricity and all other contracts.
