## **Trustees Annual Report from April 21 - March 22**
- 1 The Foodbank is now settled into its new accomodation. We have a small shop in the centre of Blyth which acts as a storage and distribution centre and in the same street a small warehouse facility. Neither allows for any expansion and only four people are able to work safely in each of the centres. However we are in the centre of town in a discreet side street which is easily accesible to those needig our help.
- 2 We no longer practice a covid secure environment, but we do have masks and hand sanitizers available, as well as a small number of covid tests.
- 3 As usual the period leading up to Christmas was very busy and we were able to provide for 670 Adults and 413 Children pus an additional 100 Christmas Food Hampers and 60 Christmas Hampers for young people on their own and leaving care.
- 4 The second half of the year saw Donations slow down but the outlook for the new financial year is looking better as we have leads on Fundraising and other income streams that will fall into next years accounts.

## **Independent Examiners Report**
## **Year ended 31st March 2022**
## **Respective reponsibilities of trustees and examiner**
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply.
It is my resonsibility to state on the basis of the procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charities Commissioners under Section 145(9)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of the Independent Examiners Report**
My examination of the Financial Statements, set out on pages 2 - 5, was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charities Commissioners. An examination includes the 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 undertaked do not provide all the evidence that would be required by an audit, and consequently we do not express an opinion in the view given by the accounts.
## **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 repesct the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Act; and
- to prepare accounts whhich accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act;
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.
