REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE COMMUNITY STOREHOUSE FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 JULY 2023 OBJECTIVES AND AcllvrnES To relieve persons, particularfy but not exclusively, in Paddock Wood and surroundin8 area that are in financial hardship in such ways the trustees shall from time to time think fit. in particular. but not exdusively by: Providing emergency food supplies. essential toiletries and other household item5 both to individuals and families in need and also to other charities or organizations working to prevent or relieve poverty. Such other means, induding (but not limlted to) the proviston of sUPPOrt or signposting to relevant advisory services or infomiation and to provide such services within a Christian ethos. supported by Churche5 and businesses in the area. REVIEW OF ACTIVITES The Community Storehouse bring5 people together.. people who currently have resource5, giving to help those who currently do not. This is bome out by the total amount of food donated in the year: 15 tonne5 (2022- 13.8 tonnesl. We have also purthased an increasing amount of food needed this year- 9.9 tonnes (2022- 5.3 tonnes} and the total amount of food distributed in the year through TCS Voucher / Agency Voucher / other donations is 25.3 tonne$12022- 19.6 tonnesl. Our thanks go to everyone who ha5 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 tum can support those who need assistance with food supplies. aients continued to be able to approach us in two way5: by bringing in a TCS Voucher i55ued by or referred from one of our partner agencies la list of these appears in Appendix 2) and we regularly update and add to this list, or they can come dirert to us when we are open. Thts twin approach meant that in the year we were able to support 203 households {2022- 184), a total of $72 adults and children and a 10.3% Increase on the previou5 year. This is analysed on the next page by the location of households. We endeavour to 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. As Covid restrirtions eased, we have welcomed our clients back inside The Wesley Centre building and continued supplying food par￿lS and being as accommodating as p055ible in the Supply of food to everyone requesting food assistsnce.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE COMMUNITY STOREHOUSE FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 JULY 2023 On occasion5 when we have had surplu5 supplies, we have also been able to supply other food agencies in our area. Other areas which have benefitted from some of our food supplies have been foodbank5 at Tonbridge and community groups in Maidstone. TCS aim5 to continue meeting the needs of Its clients wherever possible while operating within its charitable objertives. Food donatlons come in all shapes and sizes and from a wide geographical area: for example, individual items deposited into the collertin8 baskets at Waitrose- a bag of items brought in by a family durin8 one of our opening sessions; a box of groceries collected by staff at a local business: donations from churches; Harvest collections: Reverse Advent Calendars; and people who decide to start collecting iterns from their friends and family, spread the word on Facebook and surprise us with an amazing delivery of non- perishable items. Once a8ain, 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 flnancial donations through their Community Matters Scheme to support local charities. Thanks also go to the local Salvation Army for their SUPPQrt with food supplies. Co-op food stores in East Peckham, are supporting us by giving us some of their Fareshare produrts, thu5 reducing food going to waste. Warburtons have also supported In giving us a weekly supply of bakery goods. Thanks also 80 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 suppltes appropriate to our needs, a5 required. We are a150 grateful to the or8anizatiDns which have supported us wlth proceeds from their own events. IA list of donors can be found In Appendix l)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE COMMUNITY STOREHOUSE FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 JULY 2023 FINANCIAL REVIEW Incoffle During the year cash donations totalled £61,504 (2022- £36,737). with add¢tional bank interest £470. In addition to personal ontroff and re8ular giving we received donations from several local Clubs, buslnesses and groups. The Wesley Centre Rent Appeal re￿iVed donations of £4,849. Our licence agreement with Tunbridge Wells Borough Council was renewed in September 2020 with a further 5-year rental lease agreement until September 2025, at a cost of £8,(X)O annually. OUT Rent Fund will continue, supporting this expenditure. Due to availability. we have been able to additionally rent the back hall of the Wesley Centre, at additional cost for 3 knou￿ eath Tuesday afternoon. Food Donatlons The valuation of individual items is difficult and therefore a fair value of £2.CKI per kg. (2022 - £1.70) has been used at the time of distribution (reco8ni5ed a5 charitable expenditure) and an equivalent amount reco8ni5ed a5 a component of donations. The tharity recognizes in stock the value of donated goods, Trot yet dlstributed, representing the service potential provided by such items. At the end of July 2022, current stock was revalued at £2.00 per k& to refiert current escalation in food costs. This was the first increase in stock valuation since The Community Storehouse began operating. Further increase is likely in the re- valuing of stock, due to rising food costs and due to havin8 to use more of our resources to purchase stock. Expendlture During the year expenditure (excluding food donations) was £50,742 {2022 - £24,696). The largest part of this wa5 for food purchases, £38,370176%) ft)Ilowed by the rent of the premise5, £9,572119%). Surplus, Resenffts and Cash Income exceeded Expenditure by £11.547 and the cash balan￿ at the year-end was £114,82912022- £103,596). The charity has adopted a reserves policy of maintaining a minimum of one yearfs expenditure (excluding food distributed but including rental expenditure from the Restricted Fund). Based on these costs incurred by the charity during the 202V23 financial year. sufficient reserves and cash would need to be retsined to the value of £50,742.
