2. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT

2.1 Governing document

The Basingstoke Foodbank is a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation), whose only voting members are its Trustees. The Trustees adopted a constitution on 30[th] July 2013 in accordance with the ‘Foundation Model’ published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales and the Basingstoke Foodbank was registered by the Charity Commission on 23[rd] October 2013.

2.2 Trustees

The Foodbank is managed by a board of Trustees, selected because they strongly endorse the charitable objectives of the organisation and support its Christian ethos. When selecting Trustees, the charity aims to ensure there is a range of relevant skills and that Trustees reflect the range of Church denominations that support the charity. Trustees are initially appointed for a three year term and may be reappointed for a maximum of two subsequent terms of three years each.

The Trustees manage the affairs of the Foodbank and, for that purpose, exercise all the powers of the CIO. They are responsible for vision, strategic direction, financial health, regulatory conformance and general well-being of the Foodbank.

The Trustees aim to meet every two months to review performance and monitor the achievement of objectives. The Treasurer presents financial monitoring statements to the Trustees at each meeting comprising a report of the Foodbank’s receipts and payments for the month and year to date, together with an updated cash flow forecast for the immediate ensuing periods. The Development Manager, and Operations Manager attend Trustees’ meetings.

2.3 Related Organisations

Basingstoke Foodbank is an independent social franchise partner of the Trussell Network, the largest network in the United Kingdom with more than 1700 franchised foodbanks. The Basingstoke Foodbank adheres to the policies and procedures developed by Trussell as set out in Trussell’s Operations Manual and associated documents.

2.4 Management Structure

This year the Foodbank has employed three members of staff. The Development Manager (0.8 fte) focuses on strategic activities, the development of our ‘more than food’ initiatives to help clients

through to a better financial future, and line manages the other two paid employees.

Charity Registration Number 1154319

Basingstoke Foodbank

The Operations Manager (full-time) is responsible for the day-to-day activities ensuring the smooth running of the warehouse, and our 7 Foodbank Centres.

A Community Connector (0.8fte) works to ensure that our clients are supported to connect with appropriate agencies and activities. They also coordinate our voluntary Community Coaching programme available for Foodbank clients who want help to move through some of the challenges they face.

Other part-time volunteers make up our ‘Operations Team’ and take responsibility for specific activities.

2.5 Guiding principles

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charities Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives, and in planning future activities.

The Trustees have adopted the Policies listed and are responsible for their annual review.

Policies:

Risk Assessments have also been established and are reviewed regularly for:

Basingstoke Foodbank

Training & Communications:

Staff and volunteer inductions, together with regular information and guidance on working practices are usually communicated on a group or 1:1 basis by the Development Manager, Operations Manager, or volunteer Assistant Operations Manager.

We also deliver bespoke training events at our Tempus head office for the various volunteer teams: Centre Managers (a bimonthly catch up), Centre Volunteers, Packing team, Store team, Drivers and Deliveries team and our Voucher Administration team. This year we invited MIND and You Trust agencies to share how

they support people in our communities as part of our signposting awareness. We have also focused on data protection and confidentiality with our Voucher Admin team, and refreshed all volunteers of our aims, objectives, beliefs and values, and good working practices.

3. OBJECTIVES, AIMS & ACTIVITIES

3.1 Charitable Objective

Basingstoke Foodbank is a Christian charity founded in October 2012 and supported by 50+ churches in the Basingstoke & Deane area. Our Christian faith, values and ethos underpin all areas of our operation.

Basingstoke Foodbank’s charitable objective is to relieve the poverty of the people in the Basingstoke & Deane region who are in conditions of need, financial hardship, or distress in such ways as the Trustees shall from time-to-time think fit.

6

Charity Registration Number 1154319

Basingstoke Foodbank

3.2 Aims

The Basingstoke Foodbank aims to provide compassionate, non-judgemental, practical support for people in crisis, to tackle the root causes that lock people into poverty, and to build people’s resilience so that they are less likely to need a foodbank in the future.

We alleviate the needs of people through the provision of food and other essentials, and by working in partnership with local independent frontline support agencies who refer their clients experiencing hardship to the Foodbank.

By signposting or referring clients to care agencies, advice services and other support agencies, we aim to help to seek resolutions for clients’ immediate and longer-term crises which are causing their need to use the Foodbank.

Anyone experiencing food insecurity can be referred to the Foodbank, regardless of their age, disability, background, race, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, religion or belief.

3.3 Our beliefs & values:

We believe in turning faith into practical action, living out God's love for the poor:

'For I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in.'

Matthew 25:35

Restoring Dignity: Showing empathy and respect to those experiencing crisis

Reviving Hope: Through practical support, and promoting the message that God loves and cares for everyone and can bring hope to those lacking in hope

Building Community: Enabling the wider community of Basingstoke & Deane to partner with us in supporting those in crisis through donations of food, money and time.

Our strapline: ‘Helping local people in crisis’

4.ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE

4.1 Summary of the year’s activities

We celebrate our 11 year anniversary since opening on 1st October 2012.

In May 2024, the Mayor, Cllr David Leeks presented the Mayor’s Business Award to Basingstoke Foodbank for its contribution to the wellbeing of the community, and our Development Manager for her management of Basingstoke Foodbank.

We currently have seven churches represented on the Board of Trustees and in September 2023 gained a seventh Trustee whose ‘day job’ is to act as the Safeguarding Lead for MIND’s south east region, and to manage various regional projects for Andover MIND. Our Trustees’ Adviser agreed to re-join the Board of Trustees for a further term in September 2023.

We continued the Foodbank grant funded agreement with the Citizens Advice service in Basingstoke and Tadley, for them to provide the services of in-situ advisers at all 7 centres throughout our opening times.

10

Charity Registration Number 1154319

Basingstoke Foodbank

We continued our partnership agreement with Christians Against Poverty (CAP) locally to fund a part-time Debt Coach to increase availability of debt support for our clients.

Volunteer numbers continue to be stable at about 130. We continue to have small packing, store teams, delivery teams and various operational and administrative teams operating every weekday out of the Tempus Head Office.

This year, we adopted a Basingstoke Town volunteer Chaplain to provide pastoral care for any volunteer who may be affected by the listening service we offer to clients. Many of our clients are experiencing extreme difficulties, and appreciate our non-judgemental, compassionate listening service offered by our volunteers at our Foodbank Centres and over the phone through our office.

Referral partnering agencies issuing crisis vouchers have increased to approx. 150 teams, this includes schools and colleges supporting students and families within their institutions. We are working on refreshing our Data Sharing Agreements with all agencies as there is such a turnover of staffing in many agencies.

Churches supporting the Foodbank regularly continued to number c.58, and schools, children’s clubs, community groups and businesses maintained their enthusiasm to continue to support the Foodbank through ‘Harvest’ and ‘Christmas Hamper’ events.

Our 2023 Christmas Hamper project is set to go ahead in an empty shop gifted by Festival Place shopping centre. Numbers of local companies send employees to offer a half day volunteering to help pack hampers. Members of the public also volunteer. These are then hand delivered to homes by our supporting churches. Our referring partnering agencies referred over 1,000 households for a hamper last year.

In line with our aim to help clients through some of the obstacles that stop them from moving forward through their many challenges, we continue to promote our new Community Coaching programme. We currently have our Community Connector and 3 trained coaches available to provide this 12 week 1:1 programme of one hour a week of free coaching for interested clients. We are

In September 2023 in line with our aim to provide holistic support to help clients in hardship through their short and medium term crisis, we partnered with Andover MIND to launch a pilot ‘Wellbeing Drop-in’ at 4 of our 7 centres. Mental Health in the form of depression, anxiety and stress has been identified as a recurring issue shared by our clients. Initially this is a fortnightly event in the 4 centres and we will be monitoring feedback and use of the drop-in from both the agency and clients.

4.2 Recipients of food

In the year under review, we fed 7526 people through 3379 voucher requests (compared to 7799 people / 3489 vouchers in 2023-4) from partner referral agencies. This was through our Trussell referral model. We also fed approximately 3,600

people through our annual Christmas Hamper project. In addition, we provide food for 4 emergency cupboards in the community for when emergency food is required out of Foodbank hours. Numbers consistently continue to be higher than those of

pre-pandemic years.

Analysis of the people impacted by food poverty, requiring the services of the foodbank to avoid going hungry, shows:

2023-24 2022-23 2021-22
Adults 4533 4664 3792
Children 2993 3136 2581
Total 7526 7800 6373

The largest group(s) that we help is singles and singles with children. Their proportion increased by 6% which was offset by reductions in other demographic groups:

2023-24 2022-23 2021-22
Single 51.1% 48.3% 47.6%
Single Parent 22.4% 23.6% 24.8%

4.3 Food donated & distributed

Overall, 91.5 tonnes were donated this past year (prior year: 90.3 tonnes) and 97.1 tonnes (81.8 tonnes) were distributed through the year.

The food we have received has continued to come from:

Seasonal donations from primary and junior schools during harvest time have again increased this year. A growing number of local social organisations, children’s groups and companies held one-off food collections during the year, particularly helping with our Christmas hampers appeal.

4.4 Volunteers, currently 130

We have continued to increase our number of centres, home deliveries, supermarket collections, store, packing and seasonal ‘ad-hoc’ volunteers throughout the year. We are incredibly grateful to both our many long-term and newly recruited volunteers who have worked tirelessly. Their cheerfulness and capability to take in their stride every challenge we face in the Foodbank reflects our Christian values of compassion, love and service.

4.5 Citizens Advice and Christians Against Poverty in-situ drop-in service

We continue to fund our Citizens Advice Drop-ins offering an in-situ presence of a specialist advisor. At a time when clients who are feeling overwhelmed by their crisis and thus not always able to manage their multiple personal challenges, this in situ service is appreciated as they are able to get on the spot guidance and advice about benefit entitlement, housing, debt, etc. The drop-ins have reported quarterly many thousands of pounds released for clients through help with benefit delays, funding they were not aware they were entitled to, vouchers for fuel and digital accessibility and debts written off due to the work of debt advisers.

The cost of the arrangement has funding support from a Financial Inclusion Grant awarded to us by the Trussell however this funding will potentially cease in 2026.

We had hoped that CAP UK would be able to provide a regular presence in the centres however their team reduced in size in the summer of 2021, so we have verbally promoted the service when people phone Head Office, and visit the Foodbank Centres. Our CAP Debt Coach was also funded through Trussell’s Financial Inclusion Grant and has also presented quarterly reports listing large sums of debt that has been written off or managed for clients with the help of the coach.

5. FINANCIAL REVIEW

5.1 Resources

Although the Foodbank has had a deficit of £12k in the financial year 2023-4, our reserves remain at a healthy level. We will continue to explore opportunities to use our funds to help clients find long term solutions in order to remove their need for help from a Foodbank.

We continue to invest any cash in excess of our immediate identified needs, in order to earn interest. The maximum period of investment is 12 months and no more that £85k is placed with any banking group to ensure that we are covered by the FCSC guarantee.

7. THANK YOU

The Trustees continue to be overwhelmed at the level of consistent support shown to Basingstoke Foodbank, and are extremely grateful to everyone in our local Basingstoke & Deane community who have provided faithful support, and encouragement to Basingstoke Foodbank.

The local community has continued once again to generously give their time, food donations and financial support to provide help to those in our locality who are in crisis and facing the prospect of going hungry.

We acknowledge the continuing support we have received from Vivid Housing Association for the facility of the warehouse and office units at a discounted rate until December 2027.

Responsibilities of Trustees

We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.
