## **Fylde Foodbank** 

**Registered Charity Number 1157247** 

**Registered address: The Annex, United Reformed Church, St George’s Road, Lytham St Anne’s FY8 2AE** 

## **Annual Report for 2023 - 2024 Summary** 

Fylde Foodbank is an independent charity organisation, but it is also part of a national network of foodbanks each having a similar mission. Quality assurance is supported by membership of  this  network  under  the  auspices  of  the Trussell  (formally Trussell Trust). 

The objective of Fylde Foodbank is the prevention of poverty and financial hardship in the Fylde Borough and surrounding areas   by  providing  food  supplies,  toiletries  and  household items   to  individuals  and  families,  and  by  supporting  other charities  and  organisations  working  to  relieve  poverty  and financial hardship. 

The objectives of Fylde Foodbank have been amended this year in agreement with the Trustees to reflect the changes in how we can help charities and individuals in the Fylde area. These amendments have been approved by the charities commission. 

The cost of living crisis, the UK has faced this year has had a significant impact on the Foodbank.  This financial year 20232024 the foodbank has provided 3 days of food to 4962 adults and 2625 children. An increase of 672 adults and 225 children fed 

We continue to build links with referral agencies, we now have 72 referral agencies however the majority of referrals coming via Fylde Borough Council (1375 out of 3019). Grateful thanks for all the support they have given.

During  the  year  the  foodbank  provided  support  for  many asylum seekers locating in Fylde. The families arrived with no recourse to public funds so grateful for assistance the foodbank was able to give. 

We also helped many Ukranian families until they managed to begin work or claim benefits. 

## **Food Distribution** 

Demand for our foodbank services increases. This financial year food  distributed  to  clients  amounted  to 53302.20Kgs.  (an increase  of  2038.70kgs  from  2022-2023)   A  total  of  3019 referral  vouchers  have  been  fulfilled  across  the  centres  an increase of 413 from 2022-2023. 

1958 at St Anne’s, 1035 at Kirkham and 20  at Warton. 

A number of emergency parcels were handed directly to local organisations from both centres especially over the Christmas period. These parcels were distributed directly by them. 

Due to the cost of living crisis the number of visits allowed has remained at six times in a six month period unless there are exceptional  circumstances.  The  foodbank  does  not  wish  to create a dependency culture. “Low Income” on referral vouchers as the reason for crisis showed that for many there is not  enough  money  for  those  on  low  incomes  to  afford  the essentials. However at Fylde Foodbank we do our best not to turn anyone away if in desperate need. 

## **Relationships** 

Thank  you  to  our  local  supermarkets  –  Booths,  Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl, and the Co-op for their continued support. A  total  of  13263.13kgs  collected  from  customer  in  store donation points over the year. 

Many local Churches, schools, doctors’ surgeries and business groups regularly help with  donations  as  do  the residents  of Fylde. A big thank you to everyone who drops a tin or a packet 

2 



into our in store donation bins. It is so much appreciated.  Total food donations received in 2023-2024 was 33814.57kg. Donations remain very generous from the community however this is a decrease of approximately 20% when need for food parcels is steadily increasing. 

This year Kirkham worked with Homestart and Fylde Borough Council to collect and give out school uniforms to any families in need.  564 uniforms were collected which supported 148 children. 

## **Volunteers** 

Fylde Foodbank is a volunteer run organisation. The foodbank has an extraordinary team of volunteers many of whom have been with the foodbank since it’s opening in 2014. Everyone works  very  hard  from  inputting  data  to  stacking  shelves, packing parcels, and collecting from supermarkets.  To all our volunteers thank you for all you do. 

## **Governance** 

Names of the charity Trustees who manage the Charity as at the 31[st] March 2024: 

Mrs Elaine Gladstone Mrs Louise Chase Mrs Ginette Puttock Mr Peter Woods Rev Janet Calderley Mr John Puttock 

## **Treasurers Report** 

The Accounts for 2023-2024 have been independently examined and will be submitted to The Charity Commission. 

The financial position of Fylde Foodbank as at 31st March 2024 is very healthy, with a cash balance of £170,143.24. This gives us a strong financial basis for the foreseeable future. 

## **Income** 

During  the  financial  year  we received  grants  and  donations totalling  £138,511.15  which  is  substantially  higher  than  in 

3 



previous  years.  Of  this  £85,896  came  in  grants  from  Fylde Borough Council with £46,507.23 from donations, £900.69 Gift Aid and £2,610 bank interest. 

Amongst the donations we received £8,000 from BAE Systems, £5,000 from Glasdon, almost £4,000 from Booths, £3,750 from Trinity  House  Golf  Day,  over  £2,000  from  St  Anne’s  Parish Church plus £400 from the St Anne’s community choir, £1,000 from Quadrant Freemasons Lodge, £800 from Unite the Union, £600 from Kirkham 41 Club, £500 from Medlar with Wesham Town Council and £500 from Skipton Building Society.  We also have a number  of private individuals who  contribute to  the Foodbank on a regular basis and we benefit from food tokens donated through Morrisons. 

We  are  most  grateful  to  the  many  individuals  and  local businesses who have generously supported us during the year. Without that support the Foodbank could not function. 

## **Expenditure** 

Our expenditure for the year was £85,919.75 which is again higher than in previous years. 

Food purchases amounted to £44,273.34 but we also purchased Gift Vouchers to the value of £28,700 to give to those in need. This represents a large increase on previous years. 

We  gave  one  grant  of  £2,500  to  another  local  charity  with similar objectives to ours. 

## **Comment** 

Whilst we have substantial  reserves  to  protect  the financial position of Fylde Foodbank our income in the present financial year will decrease. We have had a single grant of £20,000 but do not expect further grants. Also donations are currently well down on previous years. As against that our food purchases continue to increase and are currently exceeding £4,000 each month. 

4 



Over the year our reserves will undoubtedly reduce, but we remain in a strong financial position with substantial funds to protect us for the foreseeable future. 

The  Trustees  declare  that  they  have  approved  the  Annual Report 

Signed on behalf of the charities Trustees.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Fylde Foodbank 

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024 set out on pages three to eight. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and 

- To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of the independent examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view ' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of Sections 394 and 395 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities 

Have not been met; or 

- (2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
