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 re￿Iving 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.

Chairman of Trustees
