## **WALLINGFORD EMERGENCY FOOD BANK**
# **ANNUAL REPORT TO CHARITY COMMISSION October 2024 – September 2025**
## **OVERVIEW OF THE YEAR**
This year our team of trustees and the management team have stayed the same. This is a really valuable thing as it makes for consistency and continuity.
Last year we had 71 volunteers in the organisation; we have 80 now. We have had one or two unavailable for long periods as they await operations and two have left for personal reasons unrelated to the food bank. We have recently recruited three new packers in the face of increasing need plus one earlier in the summer.
Operationally, this year has been again a year of two halves, but the opposite way to 2024. Up to the end of May we were seeing decreases in requests for food. Then came the change; there have been increases ever since, the biggest being in September which was +60.4%. These increases are on figures last year which were relatively low. However, need is still significantly higher than in 2022/23. We have yet to see the impact of the budget on our clients but if these increases continue, we may have to ask our regular financial supporters to review their giving.
Financially, 2024/25 has been a lot more stable than 2023/24.
The overall income figure is down by just over £6,000, however this is mainly due to two exceptional amounts in 2023/24 which were not repeated in 2024/25; a £5000 grant from SODC (to provide fuel vouchers as additional support for clients) and a one-off donation of £10,000 from a charitable organisation. In December 2024 we held our first fundraising event (the Waterperry Concert) and throughout the year we have seen a steady increase in donations (both regular and one-off).
Expenditure in 2024/25 is significantly lower than in the previous year for two key reasons. In 2023/24, as a result of receiving a grant from SODC we provided fuel vouchers during the winter months – this scheme did not recur in 2024/25. Secondly, the amount being given to families fleeing the war in Ukraine significantly reduced as the number coming over has significantly reduced (we had previously been providing exceptional support whilst families awaited the outcome of requests for Universal Credit etc).
Following the appointment of a new auditor we are now providing additional details on the CC16a form which we hope gives a better understanding of our incomes and expenditures.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 09/2025.
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”).
