The members of the Management Committee, who are also directors of the charity for purpose of the Companies Act, and trustees for the purpose of the Charity Act present their annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 of the accounts and comply with the Companies Act 2006 and 'Accounting and Reporting for Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective I January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The charity’s objects are:
- To relieve poverty and food insecurity in Camden through the provision of nutritious food.
- To empower local communities by offering volunteering, employment support, and educational opportunities.
- To provide safe, creative, and educational spaces for young people at risk of exclusion or involvement in crime.
The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
## **Mobile Food Hub**
## **Supporting those facing food insecurity**
For over four years, Mobile Food Hub has been a lifeline for individuals and families facing food insecurity. In 2025, we reached **2,839 people** across our services, providing essential food supplies while maintaining dignity and respect for all users.
**This year, we made a significant impact:**
- **2,839 individuals and families** received meal boxes.
- **3,696 meal boxes** were provided to **48 school families** , ensuring children had access to nutritious meals at home.
- **9,240 lunch packs** were distributed to **48 school children** , providing five healthy lunches per week, during school holidays.
- **88 people** accessed one-to-one employment support at our JobHub, helping them progress toward financial independence.
Each statistic represents a real-life story—a parent relieved, a child nourished, and a volunteer empowered by making a difference.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities**
## **Volunteering**
## **At the Heart of Our Work**
Volunteers are at the heart of Mobile Food Hub. From sorting and packing meal boxes to running workshops, their dedication ensures that food and support reach those who need it most.
## **Volunteer highlights 2025:**
- **112 volunteers** gave their time, energy, and expertise.
- **1,216 hours** of volunteer support contributed to food hub activities.
- **122 Google employees** volunteered **576 hours** .
Volunteers bring diverse skills and experiences. Many have lived experience of food insecurity, making their contribution both practical and profoundly empathetic. Volunteering also provides pathways to personal and professional growth, with several volunteers, including our Food Hub Coordinator, moving into leadership roles.
## **Growing Through Volunteering**
For many, volunteering with us is a stepping stone to greater opportunities. Several of our team members, including our **Food Bank Coordinator,** started as volunteers before progressing into leadership roles. By **investing in volunteers,** we are not only strengthening our service but also **creating pathways for personal and professional growth.**
## **Why Volunteering Matters**
Volunteering is about more than just giving back—it’s about **building connections, creating impact, and strengthening communities** . Whether someone is looking to develop new skills, make friends, or contribute to a cause they believe in, we welcome them with open arms. **Partnerships**
At Camden Mobile Food Bank, we believe that collaboration is key to tackling food poverty. We have built strong partnerships with local businesses, charities, and schools to expand our reach and deepen our impact.
## **Local Organisations**
We operate from **The St Pancras & Somers Town Living Centre** , who serve over **600 people per month** . Partnerships with organisations such as **The Story Garden (Global Generation)** provided fresh, locally grown produce, enabling healthier food choices and nutrition education. Collaboration is key to tackling food poverty. Our strong partnerships with local businesses, charities, and schools allow us to expand our reach and deepen our impact.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025**
## **Working with Local Schools**
We continue to work closely with **Edith Neville, St Mary’s, St Augustine’s, Regents High, and Rhyl School** to support children and families throughout the school year.
- **9,240 lunch packs** and **3,696 meal boxes** delivered in 2025.
- **168 children and families** supported over the past two years, with **67,200 lunch packs** and **26,880 meal packs** distributed.
## **School Holiday Food Provision Programme**
Our **school holiday food provision programme** is designed to address the specific needs of these families, particularly during times when school meals are unavailable. Over the academic year, we provide **meal packs to 69 children and their families** , ensuring they have access to healthy and nutritious food throughout the 40 weeks of the school year. Of these, **48 children** fall outside the eligibility for free holiday meals due to their family's income.
Despite not qualifying for free school meals, these children and their families face financial strain, making it difficult for them to provide adequate meals during the holidays. Our support helps ease this burden, allowing families to focus on their well-being rather than worrying about food security.
## **Our Impact**
Through this initiative, we not only meet the immediate food needs of local school children but also contribute to the overall stability and health of the Somers Town community **.** By addressing food insecurity, we are helping to reduce stress and hardship for families, empowering them to thrive despite financial challenges. The positive feedback we receive from schools and parents shows the lasting difference our support makes in the lives of these children.
## **Working with Local Businesses**
Corporate support has been instrumental in our work. In 2025 **122 Google employees** volunteered **576 hours** , contributing their time to help sustain our food bank. Their efforts show how businesses can play a meaningful role in tackling food insecurity.
## **Addressing Underrepresentation**
## **Mobile Food Hub prioritises inclusion and cultural responsiveness:**
- 72% of users are from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities.
- Consultations with 188 BME users identified barriers from systemic inequalities to lack of representation.
Our leadership reflects our community: 80% of trustees are from Black British backgrounds, many with lived experience of food insecurity. Our Food Hub Coordinator’s progression from Community Champion to leadership exemplifies our commitment to fostering local leaders and challenging structural inequalities.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025**
## **Addressing Underrepresentation**
Camden Mobile Food Bank is committed to creating an **inclusive, culturally responsive** service. **66% of our users come from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities** , and through **consultation with 188 BME users,** we have identified the barriers they face, from systemic inequalities to lack of representation in decision-making.
We are not just feeding people; we are empowering communities **.** Our 80% Black-led organisation ensures that leadership reflects the communities we serve. 80% of our trustees are from Black British backgrounds, many with lived experience of food insecurity.
## **Increasing Food and Advice Provision**
Amid ongoing financial instability and rising living costs, demand for our services increased:
- **2,390 individuals** sought food bank support in 2025 ( **42% increase** from the previous year).
- **1,798 users** required in-depth advice on benefits, housing, and employment.
## **To meet demand:**
- Mobile Food Hub hours extended from **2 to 4 days per week** .
- Weekly food purchases increased to accommodate **60 additional food bank users**
- **36 school families** supported with meal packs during term time.
## **Advice provision:**
- **144 users** received personalised advice annually.
- Weekly 1-hour appointments ensured complex issues were addressed thoroughly.
Through this dual approach—food provision and advice, we help families move from crisis to stability, creating a more resilient community.
## **One Mic, One Life – Tackling Knife Crime**
Knife crime in Camden rose by **17% in 2025** , with devastating impacts on young people. Our **One Mic, One Life project** provides creative, educational workshops that give youth the tools to make safer choices.
## **Impact 2025:**
- Worked with **141 young people** .
- Hosted **6 interactive workshops** , engaging 12 young people each.
- Focus areas: education, community integration, and empowerment.
Since inception, **846 young people** have participated in workshops and holiday activities, providing safe alternatives to crime and nurturing confidence and resilience.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025**
## **Our Youth Work in 2024-5**
This year, we worked with **141 young people** , delivering **creative workshops** on the risks of carrying knives and gang involvement. In partnership with **STCA Youth Club and the Ben Kinsella Trust** , we hosted **six interactive workshops** , each bringing together **12 young people** to engage in open, honest conversations about the realities of knife crime.
- **Education:** We raise awareness about the legal, personal, and emotional consequences of carrying knives.
- **Community Integration:** We bring together young people from different backgrounds, helping them find common ground and positive paths forward.
- **Empowerment:** We help young people develop confidence, self-esteem, and the tools to make safer choices.
Through partnerships with the Youth Safety Forum and Safer Neighbourhood Teams, we are targeting high-risk areas **and** tailoring our workshops to address local needs. By doing so, we are not only reducing knife crime but also building stronger, safer communities where young people can thrive.
## **Why Our Work Matters**
**Camden Mobile Food Hub and One Mic, One Life are more than projects—they are lifelines:**
- We feed families so no one must choose between heating and eating.
- We empower individuals through employment support, leadership development, and advocacy.
- We provide safe spaces for young people, reducing involvement in crime.
Our impact is tangible in every meal delivered, every young person supported, and every partnership formed. But we cannot do this alone. We need continued support from businesses, volunteers, funders, and the wider community **t** o keep making a difference.
Together, we can create a Camden where no one goes hungry, no child feels unsafe, and every person can thrive **.**

**URBAN COMMUNITY PROJECTS LTD REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Urban Community Projects Ltd for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland"
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
## **AUDITORS**
The auditors, Abide Accountancy Limited, Nathaniel Appiyah will be proposed as a new appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF URBAN COMMUNITY PROJECTS LTD**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Urban Community Projects Ltd (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31st March 2025 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Statement of financial position, the Statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
## **In our opinion the financial statements:**
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31st March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Gur responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the independent auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Page 10
## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Report of the trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Report of the trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 11
**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF URBAN COMMUNITY PROJECTS LTD**
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
ln the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
- the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic report or in preparing the Report of the trustees.
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
ln preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 12
**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF URBAN COMMUNITY PROJECTS LTD**
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the independent auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charitable company's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. lf we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Report of the independent auditors to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Report of the independent auditors. However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable company's to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF URBAN COMMUNITY PROJECTS LTD**
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **20. GOING CONCERN**
The Charity's trustees have taken steps to consider the impact that the cost-of-living crisis and other economic factors may have on the Charity and consider that the charity has adequate resource and sufficient sources of funds available for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the trustees believe that it is appropriate for this reason to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
