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.

rri

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)

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Expenditure is recognized where there is a legal or con5trurtive obligation to make payments to third
parties, and it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be
measured reliably.

as the rent on our premises.
The charity 15 an exempt tharity within the meaning of sthedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is
considered to pass the test set out in paragraph I Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets
the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
Concern

material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the experted
level of income and expenditure for the 12 months from authorisin8 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 Can￿rn.
g) Stock

h) Debtors
Trade and other debtor5 are recognised at settlement amount after any trade discounts offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.
