## **Objects & Associated Activities** 

## **CHARITABLE OBJECTIVES** 

To relieve persons in the North of Bradford and the surrounding area that are in financial hardship in such ways as the trustees from time-to-time think fit, in particular, but not exclusively by: 

1. providing emergency food, essential toiletries, and household items to 

individuals and families in need and / or for distribution by charities or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty 

2. such other means, including (but not limited to) the provision of support or 

signposting to relevant information and other advisory services. 

## **ACTIVITIES IN RELATION TO OUR CHARITABLE OBJECTIVES** 

During the reporting period, the charity interpreted ‘ _the North of Bradford and the surrounding area_ ’ to be: 

- Bradford: postcodes BD2, BD9, BD10, BD17 and BD18. Also, Allerton in BD15. 

- Leeds: postcodes LS19 and LS20. Also, the village of Calverley in LS28. 

## Summary of the main activities this year: 

- Provision of emergency food and other essential toiletries / household items 

- Christmas Food Project 

- Year 2 of our Financial Inclusion Project - a joint activity with Bradford Central and Wyke foodbanks

## **Introduction from the Chair of Trustees** 

As you’ll see below, the number of people fed remained high, reaching only a fraction below last year’s record. We continued to see a high number of first-time visitors, with the vast majority of clients receiving between one and three parcels. 

Food donations dropped significantly this year, so to meet demand we had to purchase a significant amount of stock. We were grateful to a number of funders who enabled us to make these purchases, but if demand and donations remain at similar levels this isn’t a sustainable position so we continue to monitor the situation carefully. 

We are delighted to continue to partner with Equality Together, who have realised over half a million pounds of financial gains for our clients. We are also really pleased to be adding a partnership with Citizens Advice Bradford to our support, offering housing, debt and asylum advice. These partnerships help to ensure that clients only need our emergency support for a short period of time, helping them to get back on their feet. 

Volunteers remain at the core of what we do and we have worked hard this year to improve the volunteer experience, helping us to recruit and retain volunteers. We’re incredibly grateful to every volunteer who gives their time and skills to ensure that we can continue to provide support to those who need us. 

On the staffing side, we were thrilled to welcome Carla to our staff team as Office Administrator towards the end of the year. She has settled into the team really quickly and will be ensuring that our administrative processes keep up with our operations. 

We continue to explore additional warehouse provision, although the new build units at Inspire have suffered several extended delays and we are therefore looking at other possibilities too. 

Thanks go out as always to our staff, volunteers and trustees, as well as our valued supporters who make it possible for us to continue to provide a lifeline for families and individuals in crisis.

## **Achievements & Performance** 

This year we fed 6,959 people (2023: 6,992), of whom 40% were children (2023: 39%). This was a very slight decrease on the prior year, and 34% than the pre-Covid year ending 31 March 2020. 

Across the Trussell network 3.1 million food parcels were distributed, an increase of 4% on the prior year. 

These figures are expanded upon in more detail below. Trussell’s network-wide data can be found in more detail on their website: 

- - - - - https://www.trussell.org.uk/news and research/latest stats/mid year stats 


## **FOOD DISTRIBUTION** 

## **The big picture:** 

A total of 2,855 vouchers (2023: 2,925) or referrals were fulfilled. Each individual household (client) had an average of 1.9 vouchers (2023: 1.6), with 1,514 unique households supported. We continue to work to a normal limit of 5 referrals in 6 months, with further support offered where our referral partners indicate it to be necessary. 

4% of households received more than 5 parcels in the full year, representing 15% of parcels issued. 87% of households received 3 or less food parcels in the year (2023: 89%) and 63% of households received only 1 food parcel (2023: 58%). 53% of clients in the year were first-time visitors to our foodbank (2023: 59%). 


_Page 6 of 14_ 

_Registered Charity Number 1160060 | Registered in England and Wales_ 



## **Where:** 

The vast majority of clients live in the north Bradford or west Leeds areas. Clients living outside this area come to us because they work in our area, or because there is no Trussell foodbank open in their area on that day. Some referral partners only use the Trussell food bank network, so might refer clients from areas with an independent food bank to a more distant Bradford North foodbank centre. 

The seven core postcodes in our area noted on page 4 contained 81% of client homes.

The political ward of food parcel recipients is shown below. All wards in the Bradford area, with the exception of Baildon, are in the top 40% most deprived wards of England. Eccleshill ward is in the top 10% most deprived, per the latest (2019) indices of deprivation.

|Baildon|115 (134)|
|Others|441 (444)|
|No fixed address|90 (63)|



## **Why:** 

When people receive a referral for a food parcel, they are asked the main reasons why they need one, to enable the foodbank and Trussell to address the most pressing reasons in appropriate ways. 

Trussell altered the list of reasons in April 2023, both amending the options and allowing up to three options to be selected. 

The increased cost of living is a factor in over 40% of fulfilled referrals, followed by debt (30%), health (26%) and benefits (23%). These are all areas where we offer support to clients through our Financial Inclusion programme, with debt an area we have expanded support for in response to this improved data.

|Benefits|653|
|Employment(change,loss)|161|
|Housing|102|
|No recourse to public funds|68|



## **Referral partners:** 

We continue to be grateful for the efforts of our referral partners across the area. Over 200 different charities, agencies, schools, churches, healthcare services and more referred clients to us in the year. 

The majority of referrals come from Help Through Hardship – a Trussell and Citizens Advice partnership, local advice services, medical centres and children’s centres. In the year, Job Centres were directed to stop making referrals to food banks, formerly one of our main referral partners. 

100% of referrals were made through our e-referral system (2023: 98%), marking the complete transition away from the old paper-based system.

## **FOOD DONATIONS** 

Total food donated in 2023-24 is 47 tonnes (2023: 63 tonnes). The significant decrease in donations is attributed primarily to food price inflation (19.1% at the start of the reporting period), which resulted in food purchases of 12 tonnes (2023: 4 tonnes) to keep up with demand. This had a significant financial impact, which can be seen in our accounts below, although a number of grants both large and small helped us to meet this need. 

Maintaining a stable food supply and financing purchases where needed remains a priority for the trustees. 


Our main food sources continued to be donations via (or from) supermarkets at 41% (2023: 43%) and local churches at 29% (2023: 24%). 

The foodbank is incredible grateful for all those who donated food through the year, especially to those supermarkets, churches and businesses who hosted permanent donation points. Morrisons Idle, Sainsbury’s Greengates, Asda Shipley, Morrisons Guiseley and Co-op Saltaire are our most significant supermarket collection points, with Trinity Church Rawdon, St Peter’s Shipley, Thackley Methodist Church, St Paul’s Shipley and Shipley Baptist Church our most significant church donors. 

We recorded food donations from 169 different sources through the year – this wide-ranging support helps sustain the service we offer. 

## **FINANCIAL INCLUSION** 

Our welfare benefit advice service entered its second year in partnership Equality Together, Bradford Central Foodbank and Wyke Foodbank, offering one service across the Bradford district. 

Significant financial gains were realised for our clients through the year, exceeding £0.5m. The partnership as a whole delivered £1.4m in financial gains, nearly triple the annual target. 

This is down to the hard work of the team from Equality Together, who we are greatly thankful for. Some of these were as a result of work across many months. 


_Page 10 of 14_ 

_Registered Charity Number 1160060 | Registered in England and Wales_ 



It is estimated that 10% of clients who have seen an advisor through the year no longer need to use the foodbank, a proportion we expect to see increase as more clients see their claims or applications through to a decision. 

We continue to work with Equality Together to improve the project, which enters its third year from April 2024. This has included more proactive gathering of feedback from clients who use the service.

## **Next steps** 

The foodbank has secured further grant funding to launch a second financial inclusion project, in this instance working with Citizens Advice Bradford to deliver housing, debt and asylum advice. This will be delivered from the three foodbank centres that do not currently have a face-to-face session with Equality Together and complement the service by offering different specialisms. 

The key metric for this project will be debt management and write-offs. 

Foodbank centres at St Lukes, Eccleshill and Christchurch, Windhill hosting this advisor are close to Shipley Baptist Church and Church on the Way, Idle, meaning clients in the Bradford wards of our area will have ready access to the advisor of their choice. 

A more tailored solution is to be put in place at Trinity Church, Rawdon, including the hosting of city councillor drop-in surgeries and Citizens Advice. 

## **CHRISTMAS FOOD** 

For Christmas 2023 we ran our Christmas food project directly through our foodbank centres, with all clients referred for a food parcel receiving a bag or two of Christmas foods and donated gifts. 

These bags were prepared at our warehouse with the help of corporate volunteers and our referral partners issued vouchers through the standard referral route, with 712 people receiving a parcel through December. 

## **VOLUNTEER PARTICIPATION** 

We continue to remain indebted to our wonderful team of volunteers, without whom we would not be able to operate. Our volunteer numbers increased to over 100 active volunteers for the first time in the year. Across our foodbank centres, the warehouse and the office we estimate 


_Page 11 of 14_ 

_Registered Charity Number 1160060 | Registered in England and Wales_ 



that over 15,000 volunteer hours were given in the year. Collectively they support the running of the centres, stock management, administration and delivery. 

Volunteer onboarding, support and training continues to be a focus of our work. Julie Stephens took on the role of volunteer co-ordinator, and our Signposting Co-ordinator Julie Rainer, supported by our Trussell Trust Area Manager continued to offer training workshops on our approach to signposting, supporting clients and the benefits system. Certified First Aid training was delivered to over 20 volunteers in mid-2024 and we offer certified Food Hygiene training which has seen increased uptake through the year. 

Turnover of volunteers has reduced significantly in the past year. The foodbank staff and trustees put significant effort into supporting, training and helping volunteers to ensure the best quality of service can be delivered to our clients. We continue to recruit new volunteers through word of mouth and our social media platforms. 

## **Financial Review** 

Income in the year to 31 March 2024 increased from £158k to £176k, driven by increased grant receipts, offsetting a fall in donations from groups. Individual donations increased slightly, within this there being a marked increase in regular donations which really help with forecasting. 


Bar chart of comparing sources of income 2022/23 vs 2023/24: 



_Page 12 of 14_ 

_Registered Charity Number 1160060 | Registered in England and Wales_ 



Expenses in the year to 31 March 2024 increased from £130k to £179k. 

Additional paid staff (from 3 to 4) and total hours (from 76 to 96) was funded from grants and unrestricted reserves. 

Purchased stock increased significantly, from £9.6k to £43k, although 70% of purchased stock was grant-funded. This value is expected to fall slightly in 2024-25 but it requires extensive work from staff and volunteers to sustain. 

The overall deficit for the year was £3,493 (2023: surplus of £28,320). 


Bar chart of comparing categories of expenditure 2022/23 vs 2023/24: 


The foodbank held £206,511 (2023: £210,004) in funds at the end of the year, of which £55,689 (2023: £59,037) was restricted grant money. 

Grants were received in the year from the Woodrow Family Trust, Sovereign Healthcare, the Keith Howard Foundation, Trussell Trust, Shipley Town Council, Sainsbury’s and Aldi. 


_Page 13 of 14_ 

_Registered Charity Number 1160060 | Registered in England and Wales_ 



The approved budget for 2024-25 expects a deficit of £73,012, largely connected to the grant for the final year of the Financial Inclusion Project being paid in 2023-24 (£41,000). By the midyear (end September 2024) this deficit has reduced to £14,147 as further grant opportunities were realised. 

The foodbank has a three-year business plan and expects its operations to be sustainable over this period. The trustees continue to work on grant funding opportunities, and are extremely grateful to those organisations who offered financial support, particularly Trussell who fully fund our Financial Inclusion programme and offer access to a range of other grant programmes.
