S20 Food Bank Trustees Annual Report for I" April 2023- 31" March 2024
The charity is run according to the constitution dated 2. May 2016. The charity was registered as a
charity on 17 June 2016 under charity number 1167712.
The trustees serving the charity for this financial year were:
Ryan Wileman
Rev. Sue Stewart
Sameena Azam
Helen Stokes
Jonathan Berry
Our Treasurer is Rosalind Wastnidge
Objects and artivities
To work in partnership with a range of community organisations and agencies to relieve poverty or
financial hardship among residents and their dependants living in the S20 area of Sheffield, by
providing bespoke emergency food parcels and other such items and supplies as may be necessary
from time to time, as well as health/housing/money advice, education and any other necessary
support designed to enable individuals to generate a sustainable income and become self-sufficient.
To prevent or relieve poverty through undertaking and supporting research into factors that
contribute to poverty and the most appropriate ways to mitigate these.
Achievements and Performance
This was the eighth year of the S20 Food Bank and another busy one. The previous financial year had
been our busiest on record and this year saw an almost identical year in terms of numbers of clients
and individuals served, which demonstrates that what was once considered busy, is now becoming
normal.
From April 2023 - March 2024, the Food Bank saw 197 unique clients, which represents a small Iyo
increase on the previous year. The total number of people fed in the households supported was 372
(a 2Yo decrease on the previous year) and also included 121 children (a 4.1% increase on last year).
The number of food parcels distributed was 1,348 (a 2.1% decrease). The total amount of food
distributed was 23,552kg which is a 7.9% decrease compared to last year.

Whilst we do not know the full story behind each client's circumstances, it is clear that the 'cost of
living, crisis is still having a major impact on people's lives. Many of the referral forms that we have
received reference the fact that people were struggling to pay their bills due to increases in
household gas and electric prices.
This is further evidenced by the fact that we also spent £390.00 on providing winter fuel support to
families in our area. However, reluctantly, we took the decision to cease this provision in order to
focus our resources on our primary purpose of food provision.
It is encouraging that some of our metrics are slightly reduced on the previous year but they are not
reducing by a sufficient enough level for us to get to excited about the trend.
We are incredibly indebted to our amazing team of volunteers, without whom we would not be able
to carry out our service for the people in our community. Throughout the last year, we have had in
the region of 30 people volunteer with us at different times. Each fulfilling a different but vital role in
the operation.
It was great to be able to take these volunteers out for a Thank You meal to acknowledge all of their
hard work in incredibly difficult circumstances.
The Charity is also very fortunate to have a very committed and capable Trustee Board, which works
tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that the Charity has everything that it needs to fulfil its aims
and objectives and remains compliant with all of the relevant legislation and guidance.
We also want to acknowledge the many hours put in by our Treasurer Rosalind Wastnidge to ensure
that our finances are properly managed and accounted for.
The next financial year will be a challenge though as two of our Trustees (Rev. Sue Stewart and
Sameena Azam) have indicated their desire to step down from their roles, as has our Treasurer,
Rosalind. Each of them has been with the Charity for a long time and have journeyed with us from
the establishment of the organisation to where it is today. Their moving on will leave a huge hole in
the Charity and their wisdom and competence will be sorely missed. We would like to place on
record our sincere Thanks to each of them for all of their hard work and dedication to the Charity
and wish them all the very best for the future.
We are however, delighted that Stacey Williams has agreed to take on the role of Treasurer and we
look forward to working with her in the future. The Trustees are in the process of working out what
the future of the Trustee Board might look like.
In the last 12 months, we have received donations of 11,668.35kg worth of food (a slightly
concerning 16Yo decrease on last year) which represented a financial value of £22,810. Much of this
came from local individuals and businesses getting in touch to offer donations without us even
having to put an appeal out. This demonstrated a huge amount of goodwill from the general public
to us for the work that we were doing.
We were also very grateful beneficiaries of food donations from our local ASDA and Morrisons as
well as donations from Waitrose which are facilitated by the Sheffield Food Bank Network.
We were also really pleased to be able to partner with First Buses & BeFibre to provide a Christmas
Lunch Hamper to many of our clients. This was very gratefully received and came as a big relief to
many people.
We were also delighted to commence a food buying partnership with S6 Food Bank and other Food
Banks in Sheffield, which sees S6 Food Bank bulk-purchasing food at reduced rates on behalf of all of

the Food Banks and then selling and distributing it to us at rates cheaper than we can access
ourselves. This has been a very good relationship for us as it has allowed our resources to go further
and logistically it has been positive because the food is now delivered directly to us.
We are also very grateful to the shoppers of Morrisons Halfway, who donated £2,211 worth of
Morrisons vouchers as part of their Christmas Bauble scheme.
2023-24 saw us continue our partnership with a number of organisations to deliver a 'one stop shop,
advice service for local residents to access support and advice for a range of different matters. The
partners involved are:
Citizens Advice Sheffield, providing general and financial advice
Sheffield City Council, providing money management, housing and general advice
Manor & Castle Development Trust, providing employment advice
Woodhouse & District Community Forum Social Prescribers, providing advice related to health and
wellbeing.
Reed in Partnership providing employment advice
This has proved to be a very successful provision and one that we are actively looking to continue.
Challenges & Responses to the Challenges
Without doubt the biggest challenge for us this year has, unsurprisingly continued to be the Cost of
Living crisis and the impact that this has continued to have on the demand for our services.
In addition to this, we are now continuing to spend more of our financial reserves on food supplies
to resource our food parcels. We have worked hard this year to source additional grant funding
which has left us in a reasonably strong financial position. We enter 2023/24 in a reasonably healthy
financial state but we will need to continue to explore further funding opportunities in order to keep
pace with our current spending, if we are to still be a going concern at the end of 2024/25. We also
need to look at additional sources of food donations, to reduce the amount that we need to spend
per week. This is something that the Trustees are aware of and are actively looking at.
Public Benefit
We have endeavoured at all times to follow the objectives of the charity in order to ensure that all
activities engaged in are for the public benefit.
Financial Review
See attached Treasurers Financial Summary for the Financial Review.
The Charity does not currently have a reserves policy. This is due to the fact that we do not currently
have any regular outgoings that we are committed to. The only money we really spend is on food
purchases and small incidental expenses related to phone and internet which can be cancelled at a
month's notice. Therefore, if the money of the charity were to ever run out to the point where we
couldn't continue, we would just have to close the operation down. We are actively working to
ensure that is not the case but we do not have any outgoings that would have to be met if that were
the case.
In Conclusion
Historically we have not been the busiest of Food Banks, however, this has increased substantially
since 2020. The number of parcels delivered per week is on average more than double what it was in
the financial year 2019/20.

We continue to do our very best to meet the immediate needs of our clients and to provide as much
signposting towards additional help with the root causes of their crises as we possibly can. However,
it is heartbreaking to see the same people return week after week, month after month as there
seems to be very little change in their circumstances. We do our best to treat our clients with dignity
and respect as they navigate their way through these difficult times and wish there was more that
we can do to help them.
The Trustees would like to express their sincere thanks to all volunteers and donors who have made
our work possible.
We look forward to the day when our service can close due no longer being needed and continue to
strive towards the day when this can be the case. Although sadly, this does seem further away than
it ever has at this moment in time.

ear endin
31st March 2024
Another busy year, finishing in a similar cash position as 22/3. Turnover was up by just less
than IOYO, driven by an increase in grants and donations, with expenditure remaining virtually
the same, leaving a small increase of £500 on the year.
Food donations in cash value were down slightly but so was distribution to match. Fuel
support payments reduced from £650 to £390 year on year and will not continue going
forward. Grants increased as more were sought again to supply the demand on spending.
Morrisons gave £2,211 in Food Vouchers, donated by their customers, which was so generous
and an amazing surprise.
The CAB provision has been of huge benefit to prospective Food Bank clients and funding for
a further year was secured at a slight increase in cost on the previous year. £700 of the
funding remains for part of the final quarter payment due in June 2024.
Once again we are indebted to our band of hard working volunteers, without who the charity
could not operate.
As the turnover of the charity once more exceeds £25,000 this year, an independent
examination of the accounts is required. This will be done in accordance with the Charity
Commission guidance notes in due course and the resulting report will be attached to the
Charit(s Annual Returns.
It has been both an honour and a pleasure to serve as Treasurer from the set up of this
wonderful and worthy charity. When we started in May 2016 we expected that it would be a
short term measure to help those in need, but it has grown rather than reduced, helping
more and more people to feed their families in tough times. Unfortunately, while ever the
governors of our nation think it acceptable for the vulnerable and those most in need to
depend on charities such as ours, then this is not likely to change in the near future.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of S20 Food Bank
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the S20 Food Bank
(the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the
