## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 December 2023**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
To relieve financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health amongst the general public in the Blackpool area by the provision of food, goods and services of any kind as deemed appropriate by the trustees.
## **Significant activities**
Blackpool Food Bank works to rescue edible surplus food that would otherwise be sent to landfill or used for animal feed. We now collect over 200 times per week from back of store across all the major food retailers and other suppliers. In addition, it also seeks to develop relationship with manufacturers for the same purpose.
Rescued food is distributed in cooperation with multiple front-line agencies from local authority to local charities and social enterprise organisations in Blackpool, providing hygiene and food parcels where requested by the Family Support workers and staff. The Food Bank provides a daily delivery service to partners
The Food Bank also supports the Local Authority with a supply of food parcels when an award is made via the Crisis Team for food. We also supply emergency food parcels to multiple other agencies. The Food Bank is a wholly independent charity funded by multiple funders.
In addition to emergency food parcels, the food bank also supports a wide range of other organisations with a broad range of food supplies. These are delivered in crates and typically contain fresh fruit & veg, bread, chilled, frozen, ambient, dried goods, cereals. We have over 100 organisations in our network, with over 80 actively receiving goods weekly. We delivered over 299 tonnes of food through our service in 2023.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 December 2023**
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities**
## **Food distribution to our partners**
- 2023 has been another challenging year of growth and development for Blackpool Food Bank (BFB)
- Our partner network grew by some Partners have largely reopened their services following the pandemic and we have resumed supplies to those who were temporarily closed.
- We continued collaboration with our Local Authority in helping deliver the food provision for those in need across the area. The demand for crisis food parcels dropped slightly with lock down coming to an end but demand from the partners rose as they reopened.
- We delivered in excess of 299 tons of food, the equivalent of over 712,000 meals.
## **Food Supply Chain**
- We continue to deal with back of store and now make over 200 collections from stores each week via Fareshare Go and Neighbourly. This gives us access to all the major retailers.
- Our focus however, is moving towards acquiring food from the back of the supply chain in order to rescue edible food that would otherwise go to waste via landfill or animal feed. We have not been quick enough in our response to this but this is now a major focus for us.
## **Staff**
- We continued to expand our staff team in 2023. In support of our desire to rescue food from landfill we have employed new Food Sourcing Manager. Their sole responsibility is to grow our food supply to support increasing demand.
- We also recruited an Income Generation Manager. They will be responsible for raising income from multiple sources and develop a strategy for fundraising to help us with our sustainability plans.
- We now have 109 organisations attached to the network with over 80 actively receiving food each week. To support this we have increased our volunteer workforce to 150.
- The staff team now has a head count of 10.
## **Volunteer Culture**
- In 2023 we have increased our volunteer numbers and grown our volunteer team to around 150. This has been managed by our Volunteer Co-Ordinator.
- We have always been volunteer led in terms of workforce and as we continue to grow our volunteers become increasingly important. Our volunteers are critically to the work and we could not do what we do without their brilliant support. Their spirit and dedication are a huge asset to the organisation.
- The support our volunteers provided in 2023 was in excess of 17,000 hours.
## **Premises**
- Our warehouse continues to be a successful operational environment for us, however, as the staff team grows we find that office space is increasingly a stretch for us. Whilst we have no immediate plans, a possible expansion of office accommodation may become a necessity. In the meantime we maximise flexible working to allow for a more effective us of our current space.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
2023 was a challenging year for us as we attempt to increase our momentum with our growth strategy. The "cost of living crisis" is now an established norm and will be so for the foreseeable future. We need therefore, to maintain a very strong focus on growth to ensure that we are able to serve our communities even more powerfully in future.
In 2023 we expanded our delivery channel The BIG FOOD Truck expanded into 4 areas across Blackpool. This was slightly short of our plan of 6 in total. Our ambition is to expand this service further in 2024 as there is a sizeable demand for the service but expansion is dependant on increased food supply.
Our funding is multifaceted with multiple funding streams. We received grants and donations from The National Lottery, Vera Wolstencroft, Local Rotary Clubs Blackpool Council as well as many donations from local businesses and individuals.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 December 2023**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
In relation to our financial reserves, our policy is to have between 12 - 18 months in reserves.
We occupy such a critical place in our local communities that if we had to have a hard close, our partners and end users would experience real difficulty.
Other surplus is ring-fenced for the development of new projects, to keep us relevant in an ever-changing environment. Unrestricted reserves are £868,809 as at the year end date with £113,344 of this representing fixed assets, therefore, free reserves are £755,465.
## **Going concern**
The trustees confirm that the charity will continue to operate as a going concern for 12 months an beyond.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
The Charitable Incorporated Organisation is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust.
## **Charity constitution**
Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
New trustees are appointed by the trustees as a body.
During 2023 as a response to developing market influences and our continued growth, we have been actively piloting some additional working names:
- The BIG FOOD Project (BFP) - used when approaching larger food suppliers who are not local and who may be negatively influenced by the name Blackpool Food Bank, seeing it as too small to deal with. The BIG FOOD Project will be our umbrella working name under which we operate a number of projects or distribution channels such as; - Blackpool Food Bank (BFB) - BFB supports people in crisis with emergency food parcels. In addition. It also acts as a distributor of food to 109 local organisations who also support those in need.
- The BIG FOOD Truck (TBFT) - TBFT supports a growing cohort of people who are "food stressed" but not necessarily in crisis. In addition, they prefer the dignity afforded by a subsidised food club model as opposed to presenting themselves at a food bank. Piloted in November 2022 and now running from 4 locations.
- The BIG FOOD Pledge - this is simply a campaign launched towards manufacturers, wholesalers, suppliers, retailers of food products. We essentially, seek to establish and build relationship to partner with them in dealing with their edible surplus food.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BLACKPOOL FOOD BANK**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Blackpool Food Bank**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Blackpool Food Bank (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
I have no concerns and 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.

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Goods donated by the charity are valued at £1.75 per KG in line with industry practice. This enables the charity to give a valuation to goods which it has donated in line with the SORP.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
## **Stocks**
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
## **Fund accounting**

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
