| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | For the public benefit, the relief and assistance of people in need in Bristol, and its surrounding suburbs, who may suffer the effect of homelessness by supplying them with, in particular but not exclusively by, food, clothing and related support. To provide assistance and advice to like-minded charitable groups, not limited by geography. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
We have undertaken weekly distribution of hot, cooked meals and care packs to the homeless and rough speakers in Bristol City Centre, each weekend in the year. We have looked to engage the local community through engaging volunteers (recruited through social media posts), the local university, local schools and by engaging local businesses. Continuation of our foodbank services was supported via the charity van which is used to provide groceries to people who are homeless or rough sleeping. |
| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | The trustees of Feed the Homeless confirm that they have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives, setting strategic priorities, and planning its activities. In 2024–2025, Feed the Homeless continued to deliver its charitable purpose of relieving poverty and social exclusion through the provision of food, essential supplies, and community connection to over 300 individuals weekly. The trustees actively considered |
the benefit to the community, ensuring services remained accessible, inclusive, and responsive to local need. The trustees also evaluated potential risks, safeguarding practices, and operational impact to ensure that any private benefit arising from the charity’s activities remained incidental. Governance decisions—including policy reviews, funding strategies, and stakeholder engagement—were aligned with the public benefit principles to uphold the dignity and wellbeing of those served.

We have also continued to enjoy strong relationships with local and national businesses through a range of initiatives and direct engagement, which has provided opportunities to access regular good quality support and donations and provide those business with an opportunity to learn about the challenges caused by food poverty and enrich their understanding of the local environment and volunteering |
