Saltash Foodbank Annual Report 2022
Helping local people in food crisis
Chair's Message - Richard Marge�s
This year, Saltash Foodbank celebrated its 10th Anniversary. It got underway because of the convic�on of the first Chair and other Trustees that a local Foodbank was needed to meet the needs of local people, who had been relying on support from the Liskeard and Looe Foodbank. Since then it has received and distributed over 150,000 Kg of food and supported more than 9,100 people with over 3,570 food-parcels. Along the way it has grown and moved premises and developed and adjusted the ways it works - and the need is even greater than ever. We have no paid staff and can only be grateful for the commitment and dedica�on of Trustees and Volunteers past and present - whose work is described in this report - while hoping that we are not s�ll necessary in another 10 years.
I’ll try not to cover the same ground as the rest of this report, but since being invited to join the Foodbank as a Trustee and then take over as Chair during 2021 I have been struck by several things:
· The need for the par�cular help we can give shows no sign of reducing, and is only likely to con�nue to grow as the cost of food and fuel increases.
· We have a very dedicated and hard-working group of Trustees and Volunteers, who have shown remarkable flexibility in providing support to our clients both through the complica�ons of Covid and then as we have come out of restric�ons – not only adap�ng our working prac�ces (from collec�on to delivery and, largely, back again) but also finding new funding streams and developing new ini�a�ves, such as the Virtual Signpos�ng project.
· We live in a generous community, which has con�nued to provide the food and other resources we need to meet our objec�ves – whether as individuals, businesses or as groups, such as local churches and the Rock Choir, for example.
· While our primary role is to provide emergency help in a crisis, many of those who are referred to us for such aid also need longer term support. We work closely with the CEPL12 Community Fridge & Larder to ensure the food we get doesn’t go to waste and that our clients are aware of ongoing sources of good quality fresh food. We also have well established links with Ci�zens Advice and Chris�ans Against Poverty (CAP) who can provide appropriate help and advice.
As part of the Trussell Trust network we benefit from their respected ‘branding’ and from effec�ve systems for client referral and for accoun�ng for the food received and distributed. We have access to extensive guidance and support, especially with regard to the complexi�es of Charity governance, and also gain opportuni�es to share experience with other South West Foodbanks. Our main link to Trussell Trust is via Emma Greenwood, their Area Manger - South West England, who has been of great help, especially as we have started to review and develop our processes and formal policies in the light of current best prac�ce.
With so many people playing a part in our work, it is always awkward to single out individuals, but it is appropriate this year to express my special thanks to Rika, Charles, Jackie and Jill – who have not only con�nued to provide support to our clients with great commitment and empathy, while also engaging in new projects, but have guided me with pa�ence and good humour as I’ve started to find my feet as Foodbank Chair. They have all gone ‘above and beyond’ and I am extremely grateful for their support and friendship.

Foodbank Centre Report - Rika Chanter
The figures below show no overall increase in the number of vouchers fulfilled, but, due to suppor�ng the establishment of Plympton Foodbank during 2020/2021, we have no compara�ve figures for that year.
The difference between 2019/2020 and 2021/2022 figures re the number of people fed does show an increase.
During 2021/2022, we con�nued our ‘delivery only’ model to keep our clients and volunteers safe at the Foodbank. We very much appreciate the amount of work volunteer and Trustee, Darren Chapple, has done to keep the deliveries going for all this �me. Since the end of March 2022, we have li�ed the ‘delivery only’ model and now ask our clients to collect from us if they can.
Unfortunately, many of the clients we support have either physical or mental disabili�es and are unable to collect their food. We hope that, over �me, people will feel more confident to collect from us again.
In the last year we have not only been able to support many clients with food but also to help towards their phone, electric and gas bills due to grants from the Cornwall Community Founda�on. Money from the grants has also been used to help someone with their rent and another client with clothing and with cold weather gear. Generally, we are giving £10 to £30 per household to meet urgent needs, but this can some�mes be increased in line with condi�ons of specific grants we receive. We have worked closely with CAP too, to help those supported by Tim Squires, Saltash CAP Debt Advisor.
The distribu�on of the grant money is adding to the workload of myself and our treasurer, Jill Morton, but it is worth doing, to make such a difference to those we support. It is hoped that with the increase in the cost of living, we will con�nue to receive grant moneys to be able to support our clients. It is important that the clients who receive our food also have the energy to cook it.
I would like to add a big thank you to all our drop-in teams and individuals who managed to keep us going during this difficult year, with Covid around. Reducing the volunteer number at the Foodbank has kept Covid out of the building. The recent relaxa�on of restric�ons has seen several of our volunteers go down with Covid, but with many offering to help at different �mes, we manage to keep going. The volunteers have all been brilliant to keep the food

parcels going out and selec�ng all the addi�onal items that some clients have needed, be it for a diabe�c client, items for a baby, a pet, adding items from the ‘Discre�onary/Help Yourself’ area, fresh vegetables, bread, or toiletries. Then there is selec�ng the food for clients who are homeless and have no cooking facili�es, other than a ke�le, when placed in emergency accommoda�on. We supply these people with a ‘ke�le food parcel’ and use grant money to buy them hot meal voucher from one of the town’s hot food outlets.
Space at the Foodbank has always been an issue, but we have managed to prepack food parcels ahead of �me for when drop-in teams were not available. When the parcel is required, extra items the individual client needs are added and the food parcel is labelled for delivery if required.
Last Christmas, we again managed to deliver many Christmas Hampers of food as well as gi�s to our clients. This included those referred to us by local Agencies that support people in the community, such as CAP, Health Visitors, Social Services and Schools. As well as the usual Christmas chocolates, puddings, mince pies, ham, pickles and biscuits we added some staple cupboard items as well, such as pasta, beans and soups, of which we have plenty. We used paper bags and cardboard boxes for these food parcels to trial if paper bags are a more eco-friendly alterna�ve to the plas�c bags for life. Most bags were ok, just a few split due to over handling. We con�nue to use recycled bags for life that are donated to us by the public.
In the current crisis, with fuel and other costs increasing, we aim to support our clients more in the coming months with addi�onal Signpos�ng calls from our volunteers. We also add a new leaflet to all food parcels (created through the collabora�on of different chari�es) of the best places people can get help in either Cornwall or Plymouth. This is called the ‘Cash First - Worrying About Money’ leaflet. It iden�fies a range of scenarios where people struggle with money and suggests the best organisa�ons they can call on for help. We draw the client’s a�en�on to this leaflet in our Signpos�ng conversa�ons, when they have received our food parcel.
Our main aim as a Trussell Trust Foodbank is for there to be a day when Foodbanks will no longer be needed and people know where to get the right support before they reach a crisis point.
Donation by Zennor on 15th Dec with her mum. Her fundraising has allowed her to buy many gifts for children.
One of our Volunteers, Debbie, also volunteers at the Plymouth Soup Run / Shekinah. Some of our surplus items are used here to provide a hot meal for those who are homeless or struggling.

Our supermarket collec�ons were unmanned at Tesco Transit Way Supermarket, we had no collec�ons at Saltash Waitrose or the Co-op again this year due to adequate supply already and Covid risk. There was also good support from local groups, churches, organisa�ons and businesses, for which we are very grateful especially when they ask us what we need prior to dona�ng to us. This has been a great help for us.
We are promo�ng the use of the ‘Bank the Food’ app to allow people to know what we need. This app links your phone to our website and shows the list on your phone when you enter one of our local stores with a Collec�on Point. We are s�ll early into its use by the community, but are seeing a few changes to Collec�on Point contents. Unfortunately the baked beans and pasta can s�ll be
I would just like to say thank you so much for helping me out. Been down a long road the past years or so. Getting help and support now. Hopefully getting involved and volunteering at the community kitchen / cafe to get back on my feet again and find myself to move forward. I feel so lucky to live in such a caring town.
Thank you to LABBS on 30th October 2021, for your generous donation of food to Saltash Foodbank and for the £100 raised in the raffle towards our running costs.

found in each collec�on basket and are the most donated item most Foodbanks see.
Thank you to the teams of volunteers that sort the dona�ons every week from our collec�on points as well as those that collect the food on a regular basis. Your work has kept the food flowing smoothly through the Foodbank.
Hi. Thank you so much for the food and the dog food you’ve really humbled us I can’t put into words how I feel less alone the others and if I’m really honest I’ve got tears in my eyes thank you so much for your help but you sent today will keep us for over a month so God bless you and thank you once again for your help.

We again have been overwhelmed by the kindness of the community in the amount of food they donated to us in the past year. With this food we have helped our clients directly, but also through a�er-school and breakfast clubs. Other organisa�ons such as Trevi House, The Plymouth Soup Run and Shekinah are also being supported. Several Foodbank volunteers also volunteer for these chari�es. We also responded to the Ukraine appeal through a request from one of our volunteers who asked us if we had surplus sanitary items and nappies, which were urgently needed. We were able to pass on many of these items with rapidly approaching ‘best before’ dates. Items were also passed on to other Foodbanks if their supplies were ge�ng low and we had a large amount of that par�cular item in our stock.
Table to show the increase of ‘Help Yourself’ items we now distribute, compared to amount we distributed in the last few years:
Following Trussell Trust guidance, our food parcels provide clients with a balanced diet for three days. The ‘Help Yourself’ items we offer to clients are donated items not on our usual alloca�on list. This includes the fresh produce, donated by Antony Estate, nearly every week, of potatoes, carrots, swede, cabbages, and onions. It includes items donated by supermarkets, which are slightly damaged on the outside, but the inner packaging is s�ll intact, such as cereal packets and mul�packs of fizzy drinks, with one can damaged. Fresh items are collected from supermarkets that are past their ‘best before’ date but s�ll look good. These are items such as bread, cakes, vegetables and fruit. Then we have the unusual items we get donated, such as spicy pickles, cake making items and similar unusual items. We also distribute eggs, when we receive them, but mainly up to best before date.
It has been great to collect these items for the Foodbank and add to the usual food parcel, to allow the food to stretch from 3 days, to possibly a week or more - as well as passing any surplus of these items to the Community Fridge and Larder, who regularly see more people than we do. Occasionally, a few of these items get passed on to schools for their a�er school and breakfast clubs.

We distribute items to the Community Fridge twice a week and are grateful to their volunteers for collec�ng from us. They collect surplus fresh items we have received from supermarkets, that we have too much of, as well as older �nned foods, and a few unusual items. The number of boxes collected by the Community Fridge range from 6 to 20+, depending on how much waste was collected from the supermarkets. As a Foodbank we would be unable to distribute this amount of food during its remaining shelf-life. We would also like to wish the Community Fridge well in their new base at the Community Kitchen at no 8 Fore Street, Saltash.
Secretary’s Report - Corina Clement
The Trustees have con�nued to hold regular monthly mee�ngs on Zoom over the year, including reports from the Treasurer, and on the Warehouse, Drop-In Centre, Collec�ons, Agencies and Projects. Unfortunately, our Chair, Liz Usher, had to step down for family reasons and we thank her for her invaluable support. Richard Marge�s became a Trustee and has generously taken on the role of Chair.
There have also been mee�ngs about a new ini�a�ve to provide follow-up calls to clients to Signpost them to other possible sources of help. The Trustees are very grateful to Jackie O’Melia for leading this ini�a�ve and to the volunteers offering to make the calls. This ini�a�ve has now launched and is proving very successful.
The Trustees have also had virtual mee�ngs with the Trussell Trust and other Foodbanks to exchange ideas and experiences.
The Trustees thank our volunteers for their con�nuing support during the difficult �mes of the pandemic, par�cularly the drivers willing to deliver food parcels and collect from supermarkets, and the volunteers checking in the stock and preparing food parcels.
We are par�cularly grateful to those organisa�ons and businesses that have supported Saltash Foodbank: the supermarkets Waitrose, Lidl, Co-op and Tesco Transit Way, the smaller local shops which host collec�on baskets, and the local schools, the Core, Community Enterprises PL12, and the Community Fridge and Larder.
The Hot Meal Voucher scheme has con�nued to enable homeless Saltash Foodbank clients to have a hot meal and we are grateful to Cod Fathers, Rowes and The Fresh Fox for their support.
We are also very grateful to Antony Estate for providing weekly dona�ons of fresh vegetables.

Agencies Report - Rika Chanter
The table below shows the number of agencies registered to refer clients to Saltash Foodbank to support them with food. Not all have issued vouchers this last year, mainly due to changes to opera�on of many agencies due to Covid. On top of the agencies listed in this report, we also have agencies referring to us from other areas of the country. They also use the Trussell Trust Database, especially via the ‘Help Through Hardship’ helpline, from which we see many referrals. This na�onal helpline was set up during Covid by Trussell Trust and Ci�zens Advice. Unfortunately, our tables cannot show the referrals that come from agencies outside Saltash Foodbank links due to limits of the database.

I must say- when you called me and told me about the grant you were awarding me- I know I was touch wobbly when we spoke while I was trying to hold back the emotion and gratitude- but when I got off the phone I was in tears. You may recall me saying- I could access my account number that you needed, immediately! as I had my reminder bill, and my new April rates letter, on my dining table for several days- as I kept looking at it- and making calculations in my budgets over and over- fretting about what I was going to do. I was trying to work out how I was going to pay it. It was such a reliefespecially right before the Easter holidays, when I was deliberating for days over the reminder- doI pay this reminder bill? or do I get the extra food in that I need to feed my 3 children over the school holidays.I simply couldn't do both! My heating had been off for around 6 weeks. I've gone to bed extra early so I'm not using energy evenings, I can't do much more to cut useablebut it's still too high! The grant made a great difference to the way we spent Easter due to the mental break I had from worrying for a while. It meant my family was fed, with no guilt of red letters arriving from EDF as a result. Thank you, so much for your support. I remain extremely grateful
The table below shows the Saltash Foodbank agencies that have referred clients to the Foodbank in the last year by voucher numbers issued. The agency ID is the code of the electronic voucher that that specific agency issues on the Trussell Trust database. Alongside the number of people they fed and the amount of food those clients had from the Foodbank in their food parcels. As we can see the Job Centre is the main referrer to us, mainly for those that are on Universal Credit. People on UC can also be working and claim this benefit. Most people on this benefit get paid monthly, when previously they may have been used to a benefit payment every 2 weeks.

The table below shows the reasons people need the Foodbank, by agency. As can be shown, the main reason people needed help this year, as last year, was low income. Either wages or benefits or both, do not keep up with the Client’s outgoings, be it u�lity bills, rent, council tax, water and/or food bills. In some cases, it can be an unexpected bill. Low income is especially worrying as, since
10
this report was wri�en, the cost of fuel has gone up again and this will affect prices of many other items. We expect the numbers needing our help to increase in the coming year. The other increases shown here are in homelessness and domes�c violence, which have come out of the restric�ons people suffered during the covid pandemic. More people are in temporary accommoda�on, as there is not much social housing or affordable rental property available in our locality. Mental health problems are evident in many of our clients. Some struggle to leave their home; some struggle to budget properly due to their mental health.

Supermarket Collec�ons Report - Jackie O’Melia
As the Country began to move its way out of the Covid pandemic in 2021, manned supermarket collec�ons were not held locally. But the support and generosity of the local community, shops, supermarkets, churches and businesses con�nued, allowing Saltash Foodbank to con�nue providing for our clients.
The Collec�on Points and dona�ons from across the town and surrounding areas con�nued to bring a substan�al volume of much needed items. There was also a successful unmanned collec�on in Tesco, Transit Way, in June last year. Without this community support Saltash Foodbank would not be able to con�nue the support provided to our clients in this last year.
We hope this year will bring a move towards manned collec�ons. It will be good to be in conversa�on with the community again, le�ng people know that we are here to support in what looks to be a difficult period.
I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported Saltash Foodbank and to the Trustees and volunteers who have supported me this year. Without this con�nued support the team would not have been able to achieve as much as they have.
Projects Report - Charles Worth
Our shared challenges over the past year have made it even clearer how important Saltash Foodbank is, in providing a safety-net for local residents. Making ends meet has become difficult for an increasingly large number of local people.
The Foodbank is very fortunate to have Richard Marge�s as its new Chairperson. Richard has put a great deal of effort into familiarising himself with the ways we work and brings a great deal of knowledge and exper�se to his role, naviga�ng our future direc�on.
Communica�on
The Foodbank has a number of ways in which it keeps Saltash residents up-todate. Rika Chanter manages our Facebook presence. We update our website, keeping our dona�on Collec�on Points current and we regularly update our list of ‘most needed’ items. We have also added ‘Bank the Food’ informa�on, enabling people to use their smartphone apps to prompt them about our ‘most needed’ list.
Whilst the majority of clients come to us by referral from local agencies (Job Centre Plus, GPs, etc.) clients also contact us directly through the website and on our email info@saltash.foodbank.org.uk.
12
Volunteers are the life-blood of Saltash Foodbank. We have recently been fortunate that Kathryn Caves has taken up the role of Volunteering Coordinator. Because we serve people in vulnerable circumstances, we take great care that volunteers are carefully ve�ed and understand the importance of confiden�ality. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact volunteering@saltash.foodbank.org.uk.
Whilst Covid-19 has meant that face-to-face mee�ngs have been impossible, it has encouraged us to become adept with Zoom. This has enabled us not only to maintain our regular mee�ngs, but to collaborate on new ini�a�ves such as ‘Virtual Signpos�ng’ and to broaden the range of external groups with whom we collaborate, for example, with Social Prescribing Teams.
Virtual Signpos�ng
Saltash Foodbank has, this year, put an enormous amount of effort into developing a ‘Virtual Signpos�ng’ service. Previously, when clients collected their food parcels from our Drop-In Centre, we took the opportunity to talk with them about their problems and provide contact details for organisa�ons that could help. During Covid, we had to move to a delivery-only model and we lost the opportunity to ‘Signpost’ clients. Using Coda (our online informa�on and collabora�on tool) we have developed powerful func�onality that enables us to use phone, text and email to provide our Signpos�ng informa�on once more.
Funding
Again this year, the Cornwall Community Founda�on has been vital in enabling us to con�nue our work. Everyone who works at Saltash Foodbank is an unpaid volunteer. The generosity of local residents has con�nued to be wonderful but we are also extremely grateful for the support offered by the Cornwall Community Founda�on.
As Virgin Money Giving closed, we moved our online fundraising to CAF donate. If you wish to donate to Saltash Foodbank, you can do so here.
Technology
No organisa�on can operate effec�vely and safely without the appropriate technology. We have now installed a cost-effec�ve broadband service on our Foodbank premises. We have updated our computers, we have extended our an�-virus protec�on and we have implemented ‘two-factor authen�ca�on’ so that our communica�on and data transfer are fully secure.
I would like par�cularly to thank colleagues from the Trussell Trust, without whose sterling support our work would be vastly more difficult. Thank you, Emma, Daniel, Carys and so many others, who have supported us so magnificently.

Publicity Report - Rika Chanter
Saltash Foodbank have a good rela�onship with other groups in Saltash and many groups are keen to support us. We had several choir groups support us, these were the Saltash Rock Choir and the Acapella Choir groups, and the Scouts have also supported us. It is good that these groups are mee�ng up again, now we try to cau�ously get back to ‘normal’.
We frequently share events and support on the Saltash Foodbank Facebook page. This helps both our clients and the general popula�on. We rarely add that we need dona�ons, but we do share informa�on about the ‘Bank the Food‘ app on the Facebook page, to help people know the items we need.
Our new Chair of Trustees, Richard Marge�s, has done several talks to groups such as the Scouts, Probus group and other groups to raise the awareness of the Foodbank in the local community. This is a great way to keep the community up-to-date about how the Foodbank supports those in greatest need.
Thank you for reading my reports of another busy year for all our volunteers.

Finance Report - Jill Morton
At the end of March, Saltash Foodbank had bank balances of £50.6k.
Dona�ons this year were received from:
| Regular monthly donors | £3.7k |
|---|---|
| Virgin Money Giving | £1.6k |
| Chari�es Aid Founda�on | £2.3k |
| Trussell Trust – Tesco | £0.2k |
| Trussell Trust - Waitrose | £1.2k |
| Other dona�ons | £2.8k |
| Fundraising | £0.0k |
| Total | £11.8k |
Dona�ons have been received from local Churches, East Cornwall PGL RAOB, Saltash Age Concern, Labbs Raffle, Landulph Fes�val, WC Parsons, Clive Barford Ltd, Canon Richard Maynard and many dona�ons from individuals.
We are very grateful for all dona�ons, regardless of size, that help us to con�nue our work to help relieve poverty in Saltash and the surrounding area.
Grants received this year:
| Grants received this year: | |
|---|---|
| Cornwall Community Foundation Surviving Winter Fuel Grant |
£10,000 |
Cornwall Community Foundation: |
|
| Client Top Ups | £ 1,000 |
| Bauerradio | £ 500 |
| Waitrose | £ 333 |
| Total | £11,833 |
These grants have enabled the Foodbank to con�nue its work. The Cornwall Community Founda�on ‘Surviving Winter’ Fuel Grant was applied for and granted in the middle of February, to help clients in need of help with housing costs, and more specifically for helping with energy costs. The Trustees managed to help 64 clients in the space of 6 weeks. The clients were extremely grateful for the help. Some were not sure how they were going to heat their homes or be able to cook the food that we provided. (Many of these households had children, were over 60 or had health condi�ons.)
For a second year we have delivered our food parcels to our clients, this has incurred addi�onal travel expenses. Many volunteers have also con�nued to work remotely.
The Trustees have agreed that the reserve fund should enable the Foodbank to operate for a 12 month period in �mes of economic hardship. (It is very likely
15
that, with the increase in the cost of energy and increasing infla�on, that our services may well be needed by more clients.) This reserve fund has been calculated at £12k. This will give us the comfort of knowing that we are able to carry on our vital work in �mes of ongoing hardship.
The Trustees would like to thank Stephen Richards for examining our books and records and for his Report thereon. The Income and Expenditure Account for the year ended 31 March 2022, the Balance Sheet as at 30 March 2022 and the notes to the accounts are set out below.

Well, to put it simply, if it was not for the energy grant, I would not be able to heat my home or be able to keep electrical appliances running as norm. I have already implimented a "one light only" rule in the house. So if my son is upstairs reading or playing when its got dark.. I don't have lights on downstairs. I have candles on. We only have one radiator that we put on at a time. During the day when it gets very cold it is the kitchen/diner radiator..and in the eve my sons bedroom one..but only fir 1 hour a day. The grant has made it so I do not fall behind with payments and have to go without food/asking the foodbank fir assistance fir a while.
