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 - Opening of a 6[th] foodbank centre in Guiseley - Summer Holiday Fresh Food Project - Christmas Food Project - Year 3 of our Financial Inclusion Project - a joint activity with Bradford Central and Wyke foodbanks _Page 4 of 15_ _Registered Charity Number 1160060 | Registered in England and Wales_ ## **Introduction from the Chair of Trustees** As we review another year, we have spent some time as Trustees, staff and volunteers reflecting on why we are here. Not in an existential way, but why does the Foodbank exist? The new Trusell five-year strategy builds on their previous one, and lays out their plans for: - Ending hunger today - Ending hunger together - Ending hunger forever You may have also spotted us using their phrasing in our communications that “we’re building a future where no-one needs emergency food, but in the meantime…”. This reflects our strong belief that the solutions to food poverty in the UK are not to be found in giving out emergency food – but we need to meet people’s immediate need for food whilst we work together to ensure that nobody needs to use our services in the future. We know that we’re not going be able to stop giving out food tomorrow – or even next year perhaps(!) – but as Trustees our strategy and planning are informed by the urgency to meet people’s immediate needs, whilst ensuring that they don’t need our services for long. That’s why our wraparound services, including our financial inclusion work, are so important. With the initial three-year funding for our financial inclusion advisers coming to an end in the next year, we’re seeking out new funding to extend the provision as the results show that it is a key plank in our strategy of ensuring people don’t have to come back to us time and again – with more money in their pockets they can afford to shop for themselves, giving them back dignity and respect and enabling them to participate more fully in society. We firmly believe that one of our roles as a charity is to speak up for those that don’t have a voice. One of the many reasons we’re delighted to partner with Trussell is the voice that it gives us to speak to those in power about how they might effect meaningful change to the structures of our society so that people have the resources they need to live. Earlier in the year a small group of Trustees, staff and volunteers attended Trussell’s “lobby day’ in Westminster, where nearly every MP was spoken to by foodbank representatives from their constituency – a really powerful voice in the ‘heart of power’. Locally too we have a voice in shaping the Council’s approach to tackling poverty, as well as in local and regional networks of community organisations and charities – where we can work together, we can effect more change. Operationally, our big challenge this year was ‘moving home’ to our new warehouse at Albion Mills. As long-time followers will know, this has been many years in the planning, and it is testament to the planning and hard work of the whole team – including new Warehouse Manager Noah – that the move went so well and the new warehouse is functioning brilliantly. Along with Carla and Julie we are really lucky to have such a great staff team. Finally, as always, we have to thank our volunteers. It’s such a cliché to say that we couldn’t do it without them, but we’ll shout it from the rooftops whenever we can – it’s not just the hundreds and hundreds of hours of time they put in, it’s their care, compassion and enthusiasm too that ensure that we can to the best job possible for our clients. Thank you! ## Ben Ben Clymo, Chair of the Trustees. _Page 5 of 15_ _Registered Charity Number 1160060 | Registered in England and Wales_ ## **Core Charitable Activity** This year we fed 6,068 people (2024: 6,959), of whom 37% were children (2024: 40%). This was a 13% decrease on the prior year, but still 17% higher than the pre-Covid year ending 31 March 2020. Across the Trussell network 2.9 million food parcels were distributed, mirroring Bradford North’s experience of a moderate decrease, but remaining higher than 2019/20. 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/ ## **FOOD DISTRIBUTION** ## **The big picture:** A total of 2,648 vouchers (2024: 2,855) or referrals were fulfilled. Each individual household (client) had an average of 2.1 vouchers (2024: 1.9), with 1,314 unique households supported (2024: 1,514). 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. 6% of households received more than 5 parcels in the full year (2024: 4%), representing 21% of parcels issued (2024: 16%). 85% of households received 3 or less food parcels in the year (2024: 87%) and 59% of households received only 1 food parcel (2024: 63%). 58% of clients in the year were first-time visitors to our foodbank (2024: 63%). These figures indicate a gradual shift towards more households being regular users of the foodbank, however the vast majority are still infrequent and/or first-time visitors. _Page 6 of 15_ _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 people fed (2024: 81%). 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. ||| |---|---| |**Ward**|**Vouchers fulfilled**

Up to three reasons can be indicated on a referral. The increased cost of living is a factor in 55% of fulfilled referrals (2024: 40%), followed by debt (36%, 2024: 30%), health (27%, 2024: 26%) and benefits (24%, 2024: 23%). These are all areas where we offer support to clients through our Financial Inclusion programme. _Page 7 of 15_ _Registered Charity Number 1160060 | Registered in England and Wales_ |**Reason group for referral**

Our staff team organised a Referral Partner Day in June 2024, bringing together professionals and volunteers from a range of agencies to talk about the service we offered, to share our vision and to talk about how we could better work together to support those in need in our local area. The event received positive feedback and plans are in place to run another day in June 2025. The majority of referrals come from Help Through Hardship – a Trussell and Citizens Advice partnership, local advice services, medical centres and children’s centres. **Top 10 referral sources:** ||**Vouchers fulfilled**| |---|---| |**Referral Source**|**2024-25 (2023-24)**| |Help through Hardship|692 (578)| |Windhill Advice Centre|247 (277)| |BNFB-issued referrals|215 (225)| |Shipley Medical Practice|78 (55)| |Gateway Centre|72 (48)| |Aireborough Childrens Centre|59 (68)| |Equality Together|54 (47)| |New Vision Bradford|53 (42)| |InCommunities|45 (34)| |Church on the Way|39 (53)| _Page 8 of 15_ _Registered Charity Number 1160060 | Registered in England and Wales_ ## **VOLUNTEER PARTICIPATION** Our volunteer numbers remained strong through the year, increasing in number both generally, and specifically with the opening of our new foodbank centre in Guiseley, with over 130 volunteers actively supporting our work. Without this support we would not be able to deliver the support outlined above to our clients. Across our foodbank centres, the warehouse and the office we estimate that over 18,000 volunteer hours were given in the year. Collectively they support the running of the centres, stock management, administration and delivery. Volunteers are supported through internal and external training – certified First Aid and Food Hygiene courses were delivered by third parties and our own staff or partners from Trussell ran several sessions on supporting clients in need and the basics of the welfare system. In July 2024 the trustees organised an event at our old warehouse to thank our wonderful volunteers and to update them on the work of the foodbank, with the help of Waqas Ahmed from Equality Together, who provided some insight into the work they do with our clients. We continue to recruit new volunteers through word of mouth and our social media platforms. ## **FOOD DONATIONS** Total food donated in the year was 43 tonnes (2024: 46 tonnes). Food purchases remained at 12 tonnes to keep up with demand. This continues to have 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 48% (2023: 41%) and local churches at 23% (2024: 29%). Donations from schools, particularly following Harvest or Christmas collections came to 13% of our total. _Page 9 of 15_ _Registered Charity Number 1160060 | Registered in England and Wales_ 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 Enterprise 5, Sainsbury’s Greengates, Asda Shipley and Morrisons Guiseley are our most significant supermarket collection points. A great number of churches support our work through food donations, including St Peter and St Paul’s Yeadon, St Peter’s Shipley, Thackley Methodist Church, St Paul’s Shipley, Guiseley Baptist Church, Shipley Baptist Church, St Francis Eccleshill, Trinity Church Rawdon and St Andrew’s Methodist Church. Schools making donations included Titus Salt School, Rawdon Littlemore Primary, Thackley Primary, Benton Park School, Bronte Girls Academy and St Peter & St Paul’s Church School. We recorded food donations from 172 different sources through the year (2024: 169) – this wideranging support helps sustain the service we offer. ## **Projects** ## **FINANCIAL INCLUSION** Our welfare benefit advice service entered its fourth year in partnership Equality Together, Bradford Central Foodbank and Wyke Foodbank, offering one service across the Bradford district. Confirmed financial gains of £81k were realised for our clients through the year, slightly below the target of £100k. The partnership as a whole delivered £238k in financial gains, again slightly below the target of £250k. Expected gains – applications made with a realistic expectation of a positive outcome – exceeded £1m for the year across the area, with a total of 722 people supported. The continued hard work of the team from Equality Together, alongside our volunteers and staff makes these achievements possible; the Trustees are greatly appreciative of this ongoing partnership. It is estimated that 10% of clients who have seen an advisor through the year no longer need to use the foodbank and 28 people have been prevented from homelessness through the year, adding to the wider social value of the project.

After ten years at Inspire Business Park, in early 2025 the foodbank moved its warehouse and office location to the Albion Mills Business Park, still in the middle of our operating area. A larger building means more space for efficiently sorting and storing stock, holding events and operating in a safe manner. Franco and Carla led the work to relocate with the support of volunteers, with the work ongoing at the end of March. A Warehouse Manager was appointed at the end of March 2025 to drive forward the new operating space, which the trustees expect to see reap rewards in the coming years. The trustees are thankful for the long-term support of the team at Inspire Business Park, our first home since the foodbank opened in late 2014. ## **S** UMMER **FOOD** The summer of 2024 saw the foodbank run its first structured Summer Food project, with the aim of relieving the pressure on families with children not having school meal provision. Fresh food items including bread, fruits, vegetables and lunchbox staples were purchased and given to families alongside the standard food parcels. 148 families were supported across the summer holiday period with 344 children benefitting. As fresh food items are not part of stock donations, this project was entirely supported by the purchase of items, made possible by a grant from Sovereign Healthcare and use of the foodbank’s unrestricted funds. The foodbank intends to build on the success of the project in 2025 through engagement with schools prior to the holidays to maximise its reach and benefit. ## **CHRISTMAS FOOD** For Christmas 2024 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. We received generous support from many local businesses and schools, both with direct food donations and financial support, and purchased the remaining items needed with small grants and our own funds. A total of 767 people benefitted from this provision through December 2024, with 284 food parcels distributed. Over 43% of those supported were children – higher than our annual average. _Page 11 of 15_ _Registered Charity Number 1160060 | Registered in England and Wales_ ## **Financial Statements and Re** serves Income in the year to 31 March 2025 increased from £176k to £186k, driven by increased grant receipts, offsetting a fall in donations from individuals and groups (from £71k to £56k). **----- Start of picture text -----**

Expenses in the year to 31 March 2025 increased from £179k to £208k. Purchased stock decreased slightly, from £43k to £36k, although less than 20% was grant funded in this year (2024: 70%). The need to purchase food items for distribution to clients is one of the biggest variable spends. The overall deficit for the year was £21,138 (2024: £3,493). _Page 12 of 15_ _Registered Charity Number 1160060 | Registered in England and Wales_ **----- Start of picture text -----**

The foodbank held £185,373 (2024: £206,511) in funds at the end of the year, of which £92,971 (2024: £55,689) was restricted grant money. The majority of this relates to the Financial Inclusion projects for which grants were received in 2024-25 for spend in 2025-26. Grants were received in the year from the Sovereign Healthcare, Trussell Trust, Sainsbury’s, Arnold Clark Foundation, Keith Howard Foundation, Cotton Industry War Memorial Trust, McCarthy Stone and the Woodrow Family Trust. The foodbank is incredibly grateful to those who support its work and the impact their giving has on those in the local community. |Cash balance held bythe foodbank:|**2023-24**

Unrestricted funds are expected to remain at a similar level. The foodbank has a three-year business plan and expects its core operations to be sustainable over this period with a modest level of grant support. The trustees and staff continue to work on further grant funding opportunities in order to offer the wider range of support to clients as we have done in recent years. ## **Fundraising** With an expectation of higher future costs and lower availability of grant funding and support, the trustees are developing a new fundraising strategy in 2025, ensuring funding streams are available to match with the strategy and objectives of the foodbank. The trustees are extremely grateful to those who financially support the foodbank, particularly those who have done so regularly over a number of years. This regular baseline of support allows to make these plans and commitments to ongoing projects. ## **Trustee Declaration** The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.
