## **Trustees Report for the year ended 30[th] September 2022**
## **Trustees’ report for the year ended 30[th] September 2022**
The trustees of My Yard, who are trustees for the charity for Charities Act purposes and directors of the company for Companies Act purposes, present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) issued in January 2016.
## **Structure and Governance**
Angel Hands Foundation was registered and incorporated as a charity in October 2014. In March 2023 Angel hands foundation officially changed their name to My Yard.
The charity is governed by a board of trustees, with day to day operations being undertaken by the Project Director.
The board of trustees meets regularly, to oversee the management of the charity and provide guidance.
.
## **Objectives and activities**
My Yard provides support to residents of London and Hertfordshire who are isolated and not receiving adequate support for a variety of reasons.
Surplus food distribution is the main tool used as most beneficiaries are in food poverty as well as isolated. In this way we break down barriers and start to engage with those most in need personally and socially. This includes people of all ages and social groups.
My Yard partners with voluntary and statutory bodies with the intention of reducing food poverty and thus increasing mental and physical wellbeing.
## **Financial review**
Income for the year from donations and investments was £145,843 (2021: £129,670). Expenditure was £143,150 (2019: £122,071). This was spent on charitable activities, cost of raising funds, and administration costs of the Charity. Further details can be found in the statement of financial activities on page 6.
## **Reserves**
The policy on reserves is to hold an amount to reflect variances around cash flow, income security and meet on-going liabilities given that funding may come at any time of the year. The Trustees have resolved that the Charity should work towards holding unrestricted reserves equivalent to two months running costs for its long-term sustainability and to ensure they can continue to serve their clients and other beneficiaries.

## **CEO’s Report for the year ended 30[th] September 2022**
## **CEO’s Report**
With a warehouse and more and more demand for food. this year saw a huge increase in food distribution. My Yard provided 5 free surplus food markets a week to communities in Harrow, Barnet and Bushey. It also developed markets in various sheltered housing schemes in Harrow building up 8 schemes a week. We regularly reached over 340 households a week with 3 tonnes of surplus per week rescued. However, we realised there are challenges around needing more experienced warehouse staff and having systems to match our expansion. We are focussing on these challenges during 2023.
A monthly tea party became a popular occasion for the elders to gather as respite from the isolation of the pandemic with entertainment and a food and gift giveaway being a highlight. The regular attendance hit around 50 – 60 and My Yard provided transportation and entertainment. We also provided trips to London Zoo, Kew gardens and the West End.
The Bushey Allotment project has been developed and a second plot was secured and groundwork began. A new potting shed and poly tunnel have been placed and plans to landscape the area are underway so more group activities and year-round work can continue. Afternoon tea parties and craft activities have been very popular alongside volunteer team building in this space.
We worked with a number of young people under the banner of our Changemakers Project. Most were referred to us via our food markets, offering further evidence that providing food is a positive method of engagement. Highlights have been our published book which was featured in mainstream press and a youth led theatre show at the Playground theatre in Latimer Road. We also met the children’s commissioner who commended our work. Another project involved regular crime prevention meetings between young people and the Met Police facilitated by My Yard.
Our staff team also grew and we were happy to have two Kickstart apprentices working with us, one of whom was employed in our food programme after their apprenticeship. We also grew our volunteer team and in October 2023 we received confirmation of grants for a befriending service that included a new volunteer co-ordinator post and a National Lottery Grant for a Chief Operating Officer to oversee the project operations and human resources.
My Yard continues to grow in 2022-2023 and with our new staff team we are reviewing systems and ensuring that we have sustainable, ongoing funding to enable us to deliver projects to vulnerable people in the future.

## **Statement of Financial Activities for the year ended 30 September 2022**
I report on the accounts of My Yard for the year ended 30 September 2022
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) or under Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (the 2006 Regulations) and that an independent examination is needed. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act and under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (the 2005 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 independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission and is in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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 statement 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 130 of the 2011 Act and section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act and section 44(1)(b) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
- 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.
