FOREWORD TO THE ANNUAL REPORT
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006,
present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended
31 December 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by
Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in
accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS
102) (effective l January 2019).
Since becoming a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in 2016, we have seen an 83% increase
in referrals for food parcels an alarming indicator of the steady rise in food poverty across our
community. The ongoing cost-of-living crisis is having a profound impact. and we are seeing more
people turning to the food bank for the first time.
At the same time, the cost of food for parcels has increased. We are also providing larger parcels,
particularly in response to growing demand from working families. These combined pressures have
led to a significant rise in our operating costs.
Despite these challenges, the food bank continues to attract generous donations and vital grant
funding, enabling us to sustain this essential service. This is a testament to the dedication of our
management team, volunteers, and board of trustees-but most of all. it reflects the incredible
generosity of our local community, who donate both food and funds to ensure that no one in need
goe5 Without.
The food bank simply could not function without our amazing volunteers. In 2024 alone, they
contributed over 7,500 recorded hours-thou8h we know many more went unrecorded. From
collecting donations at supermarkets to sorting food and delivering emergency parcels, their
tireless commitment makes everything we do possible.
While these are difficult times, we remain confident in the strength of our response. Our dedicated
volunteers and supportive community are the foundation of our work, and with their continued
help, we will rise to meet the growing need.
Marie Rosenthal, Chair of the Board of Trustees

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2024 the Food Bank's l(KJ dedicated volunteers, and team of stsff, provided 100,000 meals for
nearly 5,000 people in need. The team continues to work to help create independence through
increased signposting and additional forms of help.
Over the year, there has been a marked increase in self-referrals and referrals from NHS health
services. Donations of food valuing £85,OCK) from supermarket drives and other initiatives were
received, along with many financial contributions from the local community.
The Food Bank is now operating a targeted collection strategy through the Bank the Food App and
is increasing its involvement in community projects, such as the Schools Project, to help raise
awareness. In the future the Food Bank will also focus on enhanced engagement with recipients
with the aim of helping to resolve the root causes of food poverty for individuals, and to tailor food
parcels to recipients, needs.

WHAT THE ORGANISATION DOES
Our Vision
The provision of food parcels to those recipients deemed to be in emergency need, arising from,
for example, homelessness, psychiatric b￿akdOWn or delayed benefit payments. We do not wish
to create dependence and we work on the premise that the Food Bank is intended to help
individuals or families over the crisis until they can sUPPOrt themselves, signposting to additional
support where needed.
Our main aim is to continue to provide food or vouchers and basic toiletries to people in need. To
achieve this we need a set of objectives with clear goals.
Our Aims and Objectives
Our objectives are:
To continue to develop the model to provide a sustainable source of income and manage
expenditure
To value our volunteer base
To develop working arrangements with other agencies to try to alleviate food poverty at
source and reduce the need for emergency aid
To ensure a safe, hygienic working environment
To ensure that the 7-day emergency food parcels include healthy and nutritious food that
people will eat.
Our Activities
Provlsion of a food parcel for up to a maximum of 7 days, or the equivalent in food vouchers,
supplied accordingto need. The food parcel also includes wider essentials such as personal hygiene
products.
Referrals come from case workers. social workers, NHS staff and other agencies and individuals and
an appropriate food parcel is prepared. Due to the current economic circumstances, the Trustees
have continued to allow individuals who have been experiencing hardship to obtain an initial food
parcel without the need for a referral.

The Food Bank also provides information to the residents of Herefordshire and the surrounding
areas to improve understanding of the concept and impact of poverty.
The Food Bank maintains good working relationships with referring agencies and other food
providers by attending meetings and distributing information about its operation on a regular basis.
Public benefit
The charity is a public benefrt entity. The trustees have complied with their statutory duty to have
due regard to the guidance on public benefit published bythe Charity Commission in deciding what
activities the charity should undertake, and how those activitie5 are made available to the public.
Activities undertaken for the
ublic benefit
The charity's main activity undertaken for the public benefit in relation to its charitable objects
during the year, was the provision of emergency food parcels.
These services - in accordance with the charity's objects - are typically restricted to those located
within the county of Herefordshire and surrounding areas. This is largely for logistical reasons, but
also because the trustees believe that the charity is meeting a particular demand for such services,
which is not met by other organisations in the area.
The services are free at the point of need, although certain services are funded by a recharge to the
local authority, in order to cover the costs of providing the service, and to maintain quality.

In 2024, Hereford Food Bank experienced significant trends in both referral activity and donation
pattems. The highest number of referrals occurred in December and May. aligning with well
documented periods of financial stress: namely the holiday season and the lead-up to summer.
These seasonal pressures often lead to heightened demand for emergency food support as families
contend with increased household expenses.
A notsble development during the year was the slight increase in first-time self-referrals. This rise
is indicative of growing public awareness, reduced stigma around ￿ekIng help. and improved
accessibility of food support services. It reflects ongoing efforts to Streamlirie referral pathways and
ensure individua15 can reach out directly when in need.

Significantly, the largest share of referrals in 2024 came from adult NHS services, revealing a
deepening connection between health services and food support. Alongside the increase in self-
referrals, this trend signals an important shift toward health-focused and direct-access referral
pathways. Frontline workers are increasingly recognislng food insecurity as a fundamental
component of individual wellbein& integrating it into broader health and Social care conversations.
In response to changing demand and donation behaviour, the Food Bank has adapted its collection
strategies. Although overall donation volumes declined. we took a deliberate step toward targeting
the key food items most needed. Two primary initiatives supported this approach:
The Bank the Food App, which gained over 300 followers, provided real-time updates to
supporters about priority items.
Supermarket Drives. staffed by volunteers, enabled both the collection of donations and
public en8agement. offering opportunities to speak directly with community rnember5
about the Food Bank's work.
These targeted methods helped ensure that donated food and essentials, which made up around
50% of the parcels distributed, were more aligned with recipients, needs.
Alongside operational changes, 2024. saw the introduction of the Schools Project an important
community outreach initiative. Designed to engage students in understanding and sUPPOrting the
Food Bank, the project had several objectives:
Raise awareness of the Food Bank's structure and the diversity of individuals it supports
Encourage informed, focused donations
Reduce stigma through education and discussion
Facilitate participation in school-led collection events
The project not only increased donations but also played a role in normalising food support it helped
children to realise how important healthy food is to wellbeing.

Future Plans
Looking ahead, Hereford Food Bank is focused on enhancing Its engagement with reclpients,
deepening understanding of their needs. and reasons for accessing food support. This includes
ongoing efforts to strengthen signposting for further support to prevent repeat referrals.
Despite some challenges in donation volumes, targeting most needed food enabled the Food Bank
to respond effectively to need.

Reserves policy
The trustees review the reserves policy annually. in the light of future plans. and on the basis of the
most recent accounts information. They aim to maintain a level of reserves sufficient to enable the
charity to take advantage of new opportunities. and to cover the expected and unexpected costs of
pursuing its objectives during periods of reduced fvnding. Due to the current economic
uncertaintie5, the trustees consider that the required reserves level should be between 6 and 9
months of normal expenditure. In addition to this, the trustees aim to maintain a resenie of £81,000
to cover the charity's liabilities that would arise if it were to cease to operate.
At 31 December 2024. the charity's unrestricted reserves stood at £647,422 {2023: £541,654), which
was equivalent to 25 months {2023: 22 month) of normal expenditure. The charitls resenies
currently exceed the reserves policy however, the future of the CharIt￿S income sources is not
guaranteed and therefore the trustees feel that the current level of reserves held is appropriate.

13
VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF
Volunteer number remain high at just over 100, with a regular volunteer base of over 80 people
fillingthe rota supplemented bysome veryflexible and adaptable reserves. A huge amountof credit
is due to the people who make the organisation work so well, day in and day out. providing food to
those in need: the volunteers and the team leaders who generously give their time to prepare food
parcels. receive and sort donations, collect food from supermarkets and distribute food to clients.
They are an amazing asset to the Food Bank and during 2024volunteers recorded over 7,500 hours
of work. with certainly many more hours unrecorded.
An operation of this scale, supporting so many people and maintaining an essential role within the
community requires a very competent Food Bank Manager and team of staff to ensure that both
clients and referring agencies can be assured of regular opening hours and an efficient service.
A Deputy Manager supports the manager and organises the volunteer rotas. Two part time call
handlers take the referrals and a part time Stock Control Coordinator deals wwth food purchasing
and donations.
