Trustees Report 

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statement of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2025. 

## **Our Aims and Objectives** 

The charity was registered as a charitable incorporated organisation on 25[th] June 2014 to prevent or relieve poverty in Harrogate and District particularly, though not exclusively, by providing emergency food supplies to needy individuals and other charities and organisations in the area. 

The trustees in their operations have given due regard to the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit.54

Harrogate District Foodbank have been given grants by Trussell to employ a worker from Citizens Advice, who attends distribution centre opening times and deals with enquiries relating to benefits, residential issues and so on. 

## **Structure governance and management / Our Organisation** 

The Harrogate District Foodbank is part of the Trussell network of Foodbanks. 

The Charity is administered by a board of Trustees that would normally meet at least four times a year. New Trustees are appointed via a discussion amongst existing trustees about eligible individuals who are usually existing volunteers in the distribution centres or the warehouse. They are approached and asked to serve for a trial period of 6 months after which their continuation as a trustee is reviewed by the existing trustees. Usually the individual is then invited to join the trustees permanently.

## **Achievements and performance** 

We successfully opened a new distribution centre this year, based at Jennyfield Evangelical Church. This is a located on a large housing estate where we know there is a need for the services of a Foodbank. We also successfully applied for a grant from Trussell to enable a professional form Citizens Advice to attend each session there to help people who come to the Foodbank. 

All four distribution centres invite Foodbank clients into the different buildings where they can sit down with a volunteer, have a cup of tea and be signposted to other organisations and charities that could help them with their particular needs. 

E-referrals and the delivery of food parcels has continued. 

We continue to use the warehouse which is situated in property owned by Horizon Life Training on the outskirts of Harrogate in a village called Killinghall. 

The Foodbank distribution centre in Mowbray Church opens on Tuesdays and Fridays between 10.30am and 12.30pm whilst the Foodbank distribution centres in Knaresborough and Jennyfield both open on a Wednesday from 10.30am to 12.30pm, and the Foodbank distribution centre in Starbeck opens on a Thursday from 10.30am to 12.30pm. 

For a client to receive a food parcel they have to obtain a voucher from a frontline professional, such as a social worker, a head teacher, church minister, Citizen’s advice etc. Most clients are now given E-vouchers from the frontline professionals who have been trained in how to issue the E-vouchers. The vouchers are exchanged for 3 days’ worth of food. The client is entitled to five vouchers every six months, although due to the cost-of-living crisis we do occasionally vary these guidelines. 

Although most food is donated by members of the public, schools, churches, and businesses, donations are noticeably lower than previous years, so we regularly have to spend money to buy food. Several local supermarkets have permanent collection points where customers can leave food which is then collected by our warehouse team. Collected and donated food is then stored in our warehouse where it is graded by “best before” dates until it is needed in the distribution centres. At

## **Year ended 30[th] June 2025** 

the beginning of July 2025 our stock of food was 3,237.8Kg, rather less than the total stock at the same time last year. 

Harrogate District Foodbank first opened its doors twelve years ago and used Mowbray Community Church as its first distribution centre. Eight years ago, we opened a second distribution centre in Holy Trinity Church, Knaresborough and since April 2021 a distribution centre has been opened in Life Destiny Church, Starbeck. In January 2024 we opened a fourth distribution centre at Jennyfield Evangelical Church.  All four properties have so far been provided to us rent free. However, in view of the increase in the price of gas as electricity, Harrogate District Foodbank trustees took the decision to give each distribution centre church (and our Warehouse landlord) a gift of £1,000 each to cover extra heating and lighting costs, and we hope to donate similar amounts to each church (including Jennyfield Evangelical Church this year too). This money was covered from our reserves. 

During the lifetime of Harrogate District Foodbank (up to 14[th] September 2025), the total amount of food collected or donated has been 375,204 Kg and the total amount of food distributed has been 372,204 Kg 

In the current year (01/07/2024 – 30/06/2025) 36,046 Kg has been collected or donated and 37,197 Kg has been distributed. 

In the current year (01/07/2024 – 30/06/2025) the Harrogate District Foodbank has provided food for 3,634 people. 

Of this total 2,566 were adults and 1,068 were children. Since opening eleven years ago (up until 30/06/2025) the Foodbank has fed 31,740 people. Of this 21,090 are adults and 10,650 are children. 

Below are some statistics from reports provided by Trussell about our own Harrogate District clients – where they live, what family group they are in and who referred them to a Foodbank. Data from 01/07/2024 – 30/06/2025) 

60% of our client vouchers were for a single adult with no children , another 16% were single adult with children, and 24% a Family of multiple adults (with or without children). 

The most common reasons for vouchers being provided are “Ongoing impact of physical or mental health condition” and “Rising costs of essentials”. 

The most prolific referral agency was Citizen’s Advice (44% of total), next was Harrogate Homeless Prevention Team (7%), followed by Harrogate Homeless Project (5%). The other 68 agencies referred less than 4% of the total vouchers each.

## **Financial review (including reserves policy)** 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS 102) issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales in July 2014. 

The Statement of Financial Activities shows incoming resources of £ 115,492, (2024: £154,871) and resources expended of £122,246 (2024: £145,532). Reserves were carried forward of £ 173,784 (2024: £180,538) of which £35,450 had restrictions placed on them. The total unrestricted funds are £138,334. Cash funds are held of £165,786 (2024: £170,681) of which £35,450 have restrictions place on them. The principal financial funding sources are donations from individuals and grants from Trussel. 

Thprinciplete District Foodbank trustees have a reserves policy of at least 6 months of operating expenditure and any costs involved if the charity had to be wound up, including payment of redundancies, rent etc. Reserves exceed this amount and have been allowed to accumulate to ensure food can be purchased and people helped if donations dry up. If grants from Trussell to pay for Citizens Advice advisors shrink or stop, we may need to pay some or all of the costs out of reserves ourselves.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Harrogate District Foodbank** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30th June 2025 which are set out on pages 9 to 15. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Harrogate District Foodbank – charity number : 1157599 Year ended 30[th] June 2025 Notes to the financial statements** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice to applicable to charities preparing charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable United  Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Charities Act 2011, and UK generally accepted accounting practice. The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The accounts are presented in sterling which is the functional curency of the charity. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts  in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005  which has since been withdrawn. 

## **Preparation of a cash flow statement** 

The charity has taken the exemption provided in Update Bulletin 1 updating Statement of Recommended Practice:  Accounting and Reporting Practice:  Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) allowing small charities not to prepare a cash flow statement. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## **Income and endowments** 

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is  recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount that the  income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## **Donations and legacies** 

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount  can be reliably measured. All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is  required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. 

## **Raising funds** 

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred  in trading activities that raise funds. 

## **Charitable activities** 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its  beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

## **Support costs** 

Support costs include central functions and are allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent by their usage.

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses. 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: Fixtures and fittings 25% straight line 

## **Going concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure are sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern. 

## **Fund structure** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
