TAR
March 2012

In planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind the
Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit at our
trustee meetings.
Our main activities have been to maximise food and
monetary donations from the public by keeping the plight
of those in financial hardship high on the agenda. We
have continued to optimise the opportunities offered by
social media platforms to maintain and promote our
profile in the community.
We have continued to use social media to promote the
opportunities offered by such giving sites as Wonderful,
Peoples Fundraising and Give as You Live, to raise
funding through our supporters.
Summary of the main
activities undertaken for the
public benefit in relation to
these objects (include within
this section the statutory
declaration that trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit)
Tap into volunteer's individual skill sets to maximise the
effectiveness and efficiency of the charity. An induction is
now given to all new volunteers which is bespoke to their
role. They are offered training opportunities as required
such as food handling and manual handling courses.
We have kept a positive relationship with local
newspapers and listings publication to regularly run news
of our activities, thus keeping interest high.
During this period our levels of donations decreased, but
our main avenues of support are still financial donations
on our donation platforms. There has been an increase in
various community groups contributing by means of
online supermarket deliveries. There is now a re-
emergence of groups organising fund raising events to
su

There has been little change in our Teams of volunteers.
We continue operate with small dedicated Teams who
are the backbone of our organisation.
Demand for our services continues to rise year on year.
The cost-of-living crisis has increased the numbers using
the food bank for longer periods. The permitted visits to
the foodbank, per referral was maintained at four. This
reflected the continued increase in demand, and
reduction in administration time.
You may choose to include
further statements, where
relevant, about:
policy on grantmaking.,
policy programme related
investment.,
contribution made by
volunteers.
Thanks to the stoic attitude and unwavering hard work of
our team of volunteers, we were able to match all the
challenges put before us.
Section D
Achievements and performance
Our main achievement is that we have continued to
operate our three foodbanks in a fair and uniform
manner. We have also risen to the challenge of meeting
the continued unprecedented increased demand for our
seNices.
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
Overall, we have achieved our most simple objective,
which is to continue to provide food support to those in
need In our community.
Section E
Financial review
Brief statement of the
charity's policy on reserves
We have continued to maintain a high reserve as we are
now spending large sums to keep our three foodbanks
stocked, despite the generous support of the public. We
also pay a rent at two of our three distribution hubs, this
largely on a short-term basis. There is always the
