New trustees replaced by election and (eg. appointed by, elected by) following subsequent retirements. ## **Additional governance issues (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant, about: - policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees; Originally Foodbank number 188 under the umbrella of the wider Trussell Trust Charity, and registered under ‘Churches together in Kidderminster’ in May 2013. Became independently registered in November 2015 as ‘Kidderminster Foodbank’, but remains a franchisee of Trussell Trust and within the organisational structure of it’s policies and procedures. - the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works; - relationship with any related parties; - trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them. ## **Section C** ## **Objectives and activities** The object of the CIO is to relieve persons in the district of the Wyre Forest and the surrounding areas that are in financial hardship in such ways as the Trustees from time to time think fit, in particular, but not exclusively: by providing emergency food, essential toiletries and household items to individuals and families in need, or for distribution by charities or other organisations working in Britain to prevent or relieve poverty; and by such other means, including (but not limited by) the provision of access to or signposting to relevant information and other advisory services. **Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document** March **2012** **TAR** 3 In setting our objectives and planning our activities, Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission public benefits guidance. The Foodbank is required to operate within the legal constraints commonly associated with a small business, plus those required by the Charity Commission. These include the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, the storage of food as laid down by the Environmental Health and Food Standards Agency, insurance to cover the activities of the charity: public, product and building & contents insurance. **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** Kidderminster Foodbank is a volunteer-staffed, Christian-based charity, open to all who need food, and are going through a crisis. It is open 3 days a week: Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and serves towns throughout the Wyre Forest and adjoining areas, including within Staffs, Shrops & Worcs. A very large percentage of the food received is donated by the public either directly to us via churches, schools, local businesses, voluntary organisations and individuals, or from other outlets such as donation boxes at supermarkets. The food is collected, dated and stored rotationally. Shortfalls are covered by buying-in as necessary, using the Foodbank’s finances; money which has been donated by the public. 3 days’ food supply is provided for each person, using a referrer Voucher Scheme patented by the Trussell Trust. Everyone who comes to the Foodbank has been referred by a front line care professional/agency ensuring that the need is genuine The food is bagged up and given to the person, using a picking system, to ensure they have a well-balanced variety of ambient food sufficient to help them through an immediate crisis. The foodbank makes fresh fruit and vegetables routinely available; this is stored in the correct way, in accord with Food Standards. The foodbank offers meat vouchers to clients, redeemable at a nearby butchers. The foodbank has no paid staff, but all volunteers undertake a training in Health and Safety, Manual Handling and Safeguarding. The Trussell Trust provide a data system, which facilitates printed vouchers and enables us to keep a safe record of figures and clients details, and ensures as far as possible that the methods used are safe and efficient according to Data Protection legal requirements. The foodbank routinely use e-referrals with passwords, to improve Data Protection, and is registered with the ICO. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** March **2012** **TAR** 4 There are currently 38 listed and approved volunteers undertaking a variety of roles, including collecting donations from local supermarkets, sorting food, face to face contacts and all the administrative duties that are necessary. You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. w ## Section D ## Achievements and performance March **2012** **TAR** 5 ## Section D ## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** ## Achievements and performance Since our last report we have fed 6597 people - 4063 adults and 2534 children in the Wyre Forest area. This figure is very slightly lower than last year (a pandemic year) and the past year can be characterised as a post-pandemic spell. Food donations weighed in at 62,012 kgs with 58,872 kgs given out to clients. The Foodbank remains extremely grateful for the generosity of local people and organisations who donate food and money. We spend some money topping up with essential things and to fund the meat vouchers. Clients continue to be referred by registered Referral Agents such as Citizens Advice, Local Authority, schools and the Jobcentre. This referral process enables the Foodbank to know that clients are in genuine need and also gives clients access to services that are able to help with underlying problems such as benefit delays, budget management and debt etc. We continue to reach out and to help clients and resumed 3-day per week opening (post lock-down) from (date) We are pleased to report that, at the end of this reporting year, the Foodbank remains settled in the new premises within the terms of a 5-year lease (commenced September 2022; break-clause at Sept 2025). This enables the Foodbank to continue to meet our charity’s aims and objectives. The present, enduring financial ‘cost-of-living’ crises and very high levels of continuing demand indicate the foodbank will need to continue in business for the next few years. ## **Future plans** In January 2023 the current volunteer Project Managers (three people sharing the task) gave notice to trustees of their intention to retire by the end of this calendar year (i.e. December 2023). The trustees noted with gratitude the lengthy and diligent committed service these individuals have given. The trustees are in the process of recruiting a person/people to take on this role, have approached current volunteers, have advertised via our Facebook page, and have committed, if at all possible, to have in place a new Manager by September 2023. The trustees have kept open the notion of employing a paid Foodbank Manager if their efforts to recruit a volunteer to the post do not bear fruit. March **2012** **TAR** 6 ## **Section E** ## **Financial review** **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** Looking ahead, we anticipate requiring between £3000 and £3500 per month to cover regular outgoings. A reserves policy is in place to ensure the foodbank can meet these costs to the end of the lease. Despite a general expenditure increase, with our current balance of £140,093 we believe we are able to sustain operations at the current level for the 2½ years to the lease break-point. This takes into account the increase in financial donations (many by standing orders and gift aid) and greater reliance on external fundraising and grants, which will enable Foodbank to ring-fence 3 years of rent costs. The trustees intend working with Trussell Trust to obtain access to other sources of grant funding. - . ## **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; The charity’s principal sources of funds are from churches and societies, businesses, organisations, trusts and individuals We do some external fund-raising. We have a website and we use social media to update potential donors about our shortages and immediate needs. - In order to support the key objectives of our charity, our major expenditure is on renting the premises for the Foodbank and buying-in food supplies when we are short. Other small administrative costs are insurance, office equipment and transport expenses (we cover the mileage costs for volunteers routinely picking up the food from donors). - . - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F** ## **Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s)** **Full name(s) Peter Holden** **Maureen Lewis** March **2012** **TAR** 7 **Position (eg Secretary, Chair, Chair Secretary etc)** > **Date 19[th] Feb 2024** March **2012** **TAR** 8 ||**Kidderminster Foodbank**|**Kidderminster Foodbank**|**Kidderminster Foodbank**|**1159223**|**1159223**|**1159223**|**CC16a**| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||**For the period**
