REVIEW OF A￿1vITEs
The Community Storehouse brings people together: people who currently have resources, giving to help
those who currently do not. This is borne out by the total amount of food donated in the year: 13.8 tonnes
12021- 15.3 tonnes}. We have also purchased an increasing amount of food needed thi5 year- 5.3 tonnes
12021- 3.2 tonnesl and the total amount of food distributed in the year through TCS Voucher/Agency
Voucherl other donations is 19.6 tonnes12021- 20.2 tonnesl. Our thanks go to everyone who has
donated so generously throughout the year. Unfortunately. we know the names of so few of our donors, so
we are unable to thank them personally. We are immensely grateful to our local communities who have
supported us so well during another challenging year. so that we in turn can support those who need
assistance with food supplies.
Clients continued to be able to approach us in two ways: by bringing in a TC5 Voucher issued by one of
our partner agencies (a list of these appears in Appendix 21 and we regularly update and add to this list, or
they can come direct to us when we are open. This twin approach meant that in the year we were able to
support 184 households12021- 124). a total of 524 adults and children and a 48% increase on the previous
year. This is analysed on the next page bythe location of households.
We endeavourto offer clients whatever food assistance is appropriate to their needs and also look to
signpost clients to other agencies who may be able to offer them additional support.
With regard to the Covid-19 pandemic restrirtions. we have been mindful of adhering to all government
advice and guidelines, where it ha5 impacted on our day-to-day operations. This has been done to protect
both clients and our volunteers. We have tried to be as accommodating as possible in the supply of food
parcels. both from our premises as well as delivering some supplies to clients.

REPORT OFTHE TRUSTEES OF THE COMMUNITY STOREHOUSE
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 JULY 2022
We have remained open as usual, throughout the covid pandemic and a150 been able to supply other food
agencies in our area. Other areas which have benefitted from some of our food supplies have been
foodbanks at Tonbridge and community groups in Maidstone.
TCS aim5 to continue meetin8 the needs of its clients wherever possible while operating within it5
charitable objectives.
Food donations come in all shapes and sizes and from a wide 8eo8raphical area: for example, individual
items deposited into the collecting b35kets at Waitrose: a bag of items brought in by a family during one of
our opening sessions: 3 box of groceries collected bv staff at a local business: donations from churches-
Harvest collections; Reverse Advent Calendars; and people who decide to start collecting items from their
friends and family, spread the word on Facebook and Surprise us with an amazing delivery of non-
perishable items.
Once again, we would like to thank Paddock Wood Waitrose for their support in continuing to host our
largest collection point: donating surplus food supplies, as well as making financial donations through their
Community Matters Scheme to support local charitie5. Thanks also go to the local Salvation Army for their
support with food supplies. Co-op food stores in East Peckham. are supporting us by giving us some of their
Fareshare products. thus reducing food goingto waste. Warburtons have also SUPPOrted in giving us a
weekly supply of bakery goods. Fruit Bag Friday have also generously given their weekly surplus fruit
supplies to the foodbank. We know that it has been sometimes difficult over the last couple of years for
people to make their frequent food donations, due to the covid restrictions in travellin8.
Thanks a150 go to everyone who has made a financial contribution to The Community Storehouse, whether
by a one-off donation or a regular payment. Some supporters have found it easier to do this than giving
food donations. for which we are grateful. This has enabled us to purchase more food supplies appropriate
to our needs. as required. We are also grateful to the organizations which have supported us with
proceeds from their own events. IA list of donors can be found in Appendix l}

rental lease agreement until September 2025, at a cost of £8,000 annually. Our Rent Fund will continue,
supporting this expenditure.
Food Donation5
The valuation of individual items is difficult and therefore a fair value of £1.70 per kg.12021- £1.70) ha5
been used at the time of distribution (recognised as charitable expenditure) and an equivalent amount
recognised as a component of donations. The charity recognizes in stock the value of donated good5. not
yet distributed. representing the service potential provided by such items. At the end of July 2022, current
stock was revalued at £2.00 per kg, to reflect current escalation in food costs. This was the first increase in
stock valuation Since The Community Storehouse began operating.
Expenditure
During the year expenditure (excluding food donations) was £24.69612021- É21,3801. The largest part of
this was for food purchases. £14.59815YA} followed by the rent of the premises. £8,000132%1.
Surplus. Reserves and Cash

The charity has adopted 3 reserves policy of maintaining a minimum of one yearfs expenditure {excludin8

by the charity during the 2021122 financial year. sufficient reserves and cash would need to be retained to
the value of £24.696.

measured reliably.

charitable activities. These include administrative costs. and publicity. They are incurred directly
in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity.

These are costs directly attributable to achieving the charitable objectives of the company, such
as the rent on our premises.
The charity is an exempt charitywithin the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is
considered to pass the test set out in paragraph I Schedule 6 Finance Art 2010 and therefore it meets
the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected
level of income and expenditure for the 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The
budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to
continue as a going concern.

Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.
