Bourne foodbank Chairman's Annual Re ort 2024 This last year has been a significant year for Bourne Foodbank. After many years of contemplating whether to move or spend a vast amount of money on much needed repairs, our decision was simplified by the offer of subleasing part of the Butterfield Centre, a building owned by Lincolnshire County Council and leased to the Butterfield Centre. The accommodation offers better working Spa with more natural lighting, more storage facilities, better access for public and private transport and with a slight increase in rent to what we were already paying. Yes, money had to be spent at this new location on various security items to safeguard our area of the property and on new equipment for administration and operational use, but this was considerably a lot lower than having to spend on repairs at our previous location along with the uncertainty of not knowing how long we could have stayed there for. Our physical move was made a lot easier with the generosity of Cliffs Removals, who moved us free of cost between the Christmas and New Year holiday period. My sincere thanks to all members of the operations team spearheaded by Maureen Cornell and Ges Roulstone, for the smooth transition of locations. Our move to the Butterfield Centre has proved to be an asset for the town, creating a Community Hub for those in need of food support. The Butterfield Centre runs a daily pantry Servi in its strive to cut oul food wastage, by collecting fresh and frozen food from local retailers. Clients who visit the foodbank are signposted to the pantry service. Bourne Foodbank remains an essentia5 Servi to our community. We continue to rneet our primary object., assisting those suffering food poverty and financial hardship. However, this could not be achieved without the generous support of individuals and various local establishments. We remain financially strong,. all accounts are available from the Charity Commission or from Bourne Foodbank, thanks to Nick Hall our treasurer and Shaun Bently our bookkeeper for their diligent and cautious handling of our funds. l also take this opportunity to thank Mr David Kay our independent auditor, who gives up his time without any financial reward. I can confirm that we are fully compliant with the Charity Comrnission regulations,. there have beèn no breaches of trust, losses and no conflicts of interest throughout the year. All volunteers, officers and trustees have given their time without reIving payment of any kind. Finally, I thank all volunteers and trustees for the support and time you have all put into running Bourne Foodbank. My sincere thanks to Sue Bates, our secretary, for the huge amount of time she put into keeping our administration in immaculate order. Jake Jacobs Chairman of Trustees
