Ashley’s Birthday Bank Charity Number 1161258 April 2021
## - Overview FY 2020 2021
We provide a vital service for many children and families in the Poole, Bournemouth & Christchurch (and surrounding) area.
Ashley’s Birthday Bank was set up at the end of 2014 and registered as a charity in April 2015. We provide underprivileged children with a birthday and Christmas present to ensure they do not go without on these special occasions. We also provide a crisis service for families who have run away from domestic violence, human trafficking, sexual abuse, neglect, families with alcohol dependency or those who find themselves going through a financially difficult time. The crisis service provides food shopping, toiletries, cleaning equipment, clothing, toys, books, baby equipment, nappies, baby milk, household items, beds etc to these families. We also work with the local refuges, the human trafficking unit, Social Workers, Health Visitors, Police Support Workers etc. Unfortunately, the need in this area is massive and we receive daily requests for support. All families have to meet the criteria we have set to ensure only those in genuine need receive our support.
To provide these services we rely solely on donations. We run the charity in our spare time, therefore we work on a voluntary basis; so any money we receive goes straight into providing the support that is required. This is something we are passionate about.
## Aims
Our aim is to ensure every underprivileged child in Poole, Bournemouth & Christchurch receives a birthday gift and a Christmas present. Also to ensure every family in poverty, or who have escaped domestic violence etc, have their basic needs met. We also provide weekly food shops to families, baby equipment, nappies, baby milk, clothing, beds and household items.

## Objectives
We achieve this by liaising directly with the local Women’s refuges, Human Trafficking Refuge, Children’s Centres, Social Services, Schools, Police Support Workers etc.
## - Review of Activities and Achievements during 2020 2021 Period
We have helped many hundreds of local families with supplying weekly food shops, toiletries, clothing, baby equipment, Over 1500 Christmas gifts, birthday gifts, household items such as furniture, washing machines, fridges, freezers, curtains, rugs, beds, cots, bedding, toys, microwaves, prams, pushchairs, cleaning supplies. We have also offered advice and support regarding debt advice charities, budgeting, and grants that can be applied for. We also support the Women’s refuges, Human Trafficking Refuge, Social Services, Police Support Officers etc with regular requests for clothing, baby equipment, beds, toys, toiletries etc. We have supported children who have suffered rape or sexual abuse, by providing new beds, and bedroom furniture, to try and create a new sanctuary for them.
2020-2021 has been a very difficult year for everyone, due to Covid and the long lockdown periods. We have provided a lot more food shops, and also provided families in poverty with activities to keep their children occupied, as they were unable to attend school. We supplied art
equipment, stationery, games and toys, and were lucky enough to receive some grant funding for this from Talbot Village Trust, and Wave 105 Cash for Kids (towards additional food shops and activities).
## Details of Donations/Fundraising
We receive regular monthly donations from GWE Southern Ltd. We also received a very generous donation from 4com based in Christchurch during the 2017-2018 period, The carried over balance continues to be set aside for our “New Start Project” – supporting families who have fled domestic violence and been left with nothing. We support them when they are re-
housed from, the refuges etc, by providing items such as beds, bedding, washing machines, cookers, fridges, freezers etc. This money has made a huge difference to these families, and we continue to be able to support them with this funding.

We also receive monies from local Companies through fundraising, sponsored events, company donations; and supermarkets in their token/grant schemes. This money is used to provide food shopping, microwaves, beds, school uniforms, clothing, bedding etc. We have numerous charity pots at local organisations, which bring in much needed funds. We also received donations from, Wave 105 Cash for Kids (For food shops for families in poverty), Waitrose through their token scheme (for food shops). J P Morgan were going to do a Christmas present collection for us, but because of covid restrictions, and most staff working from home, they donated money for us to purchase gifts, which was very well received. We also received our first half yearly payment from Co-Op from their Customer “Local Causes” scheme, which is to go towards food shops. Food shops are our main expense, so these donations enable us to continue to provide food for local families in extreme poverty.
We were unable to attend or hold any fundraising events during this period, due to Covid.
We are lucky enough to be included in the Wave 105 Mission Christmas Appeal, and receive Christmas presents for the children we support. Last year we provided over 1600 gifts.
## Reserves Policy
Grants and donations are used to run the Charity, and our general overheads are relatively small. The Trustees have identified the need for £1,700.00 to be held in reserve, which is the sum spent on providing Christmas and Birthday Gifts each year. We receive other sums of money as detailed above, which are used for our referrals. The Trustees will use the funds that are not allocated to grant expenditure as they see fit, to
ensure the smooth running of the Charity and to fulfil our obligations to the families.
## Recruitment and Appointment of New Trustees
We hold an annual AGM, and Trustees and Volunteers attend. During the last Financial Year, the Trustees were confirmed as Lynn Hewitt (Chairperson), Anna Selby (Treasurer) and Danielle Turner (Secretary) – these roles were confirmed for a further two year period until January 2023. We currently have three volunteers who help run stalls at our fetes, sort Christmas presents and collect donations as and when required.

## Community Access
We have a set criteria for helping local families which they have to meet in order to receive support from us:-
At least **two** of the following must apply:-
Income Support
ESA (Employment & Support Allowance)
Universal Credit
DLA (Disability Living Allowance)
PIP (Personal Independence Payment)
Families who have been sanctioned by the job centre
Families who have been made homeless through no fault of their own, including families living in temporary accommodation ( **B&B/Refuge etc** )
Children who are carers
## Children with life limiting illnesses
## Under 18 Pregnant Mum
Human Trafficking Unit
If they ask for help with food, we first advise them to approach their local foodbank, through their children’s school or through their health visitor. Once they have exhausted this option (they are only open certain days a week and people can only use their facilities for a limited number of times per year), we then provide them with a week’s shopping from a supermarket online which includes fresh meat, vegetables, cheese, milk, bread and general items. The cost of this is normally £80.00-£100.00 per family.
We also offer a Gift Service, which was the initial reason the charity was set up. We have a list of the children in the local refuges and provide them with a birthday gift and also a Christmas Gift. We also accept requests through referrals from schools, social services etc.
## Future Plans
We plan to continue the service we provide, and further support the families once they leave the refuges. We will also continue to fundraise and try to increase our revenue for the next Financial Period, so we can help more families and improve our service to the local community.
We also propose to contact local businesses and schools to gain more financial support, and increase the awareness of our Charity.
We hope to obtain grant monies from the various organisations we have applied to. The main monies will be used to continue “Project New Start”, and also start “Project Beddie Byes” to ensure every child in need, has a bed to sleep in at night. It is very sad that children are still sleeping on floors on dirty blankets, or sleeping on an old mattress on the floor, or in travel cots instead of normal cots, due to poverty, domestic violence etc.
## General Information
We currently have 3 Trustees and 3 Volunteers. They are all voluntary and no-one receives payment for their involvement with the charity. The Trustees are all DBS Checked, one has Food Hygiene Certificate and one has First Aid Certification. Two are also trained Mental Health First Aiders. We hold Public Liability Insurance, and provide full risk assessments when we attend events.

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Ashley's Birthday Bank**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Ashley's Birthday Bank (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2021.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The designation is from the donation received from 4COM, the balance is set aside to be spent on the 'New Start Project' - supporting families who have fled domestic violence and have been left with nothing. We support them when they are re-housed from, the refuges etc, by providing items such as beds, bedding, washing machines, cookers, fridges, freezers etc.
There are restrictions on the following funds:
Beddie Byes Project - This project is to ensure every child in need, has a bed to sleep in at night. It is very sad that children are still sleeping on floors on dirty blankets, or sleeping on an old mattress on the floor, or in travel cots instead of normal cots, due to poverty, domestic violence etc.
Weekly Shops - This is income that is restricted from Wave 105 Cash for kids to be spent on the weekly shopping that we provide for families.
Cash For Kids - Beds - This is income from the Wave 105 cash for kids project to be put towards the purchase of new beds for the underprivileged children that need it the most.
Washing Machine - This is income from JP Morgan to be spent on the purchase of washing machines.
