OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Our Aims and Purposes

Our charity’s purposes as set out in the objects contained in the constitution are:

The prevention or relief of poverty in Yiewsley, West Drayton and the Heathrow Villages and, the surrounding area but not exclusively by providing emergency food supplies, support, and advice, to individuals in need and/or charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty. And where individuals wish or desire, share the Christian faith in a sensitive and appropriate manner.

Objectives and Activities

Our main objective for the year is to continue to be committed to relieving persons in Yiewsley, West Drayton and the Heathrow Villages facing poverty and financial hardship in such ways as the trustees see fit but not exclusively, by providing three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to individuals and families, and by collaborating with other charities, agencies and organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty.

Ensuring our work delivers our aims.

We intend on reviewing our aims, objectives, and activities on an annual basis. The review focuses on what we have achieved and the outcomes of our work from 6 April 2022 to 5 April 2023. This review examines the success of the charity’s main activities and the benefits they have brought to those we are set up to help. The review also helps us ensure our aim, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes.

Who used and benefitted from our service?

Our objects limit us to provide services to members of the community in Yiewsley, West Drayton and the Heathrow Villages and the surrounding area. These areas have some of the United Kingdom’s most impoverished communities. The number of people accessing the foodbank is estimated at more than 4,085 from 6 April 2022 to 5 April 2023.

How our activities deliver public benefit

Our main activities and who we try to help are described below. All our charitable activities focus on the prevention or relief of poverty in Yiewsley, West Drayton and the Heathrow Villages, and are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit.

The core process for providing emergency food and support is churches, businesses and general members of the public donating non-perishable, in-date food to the foodbank. Food has also been collected at ‘Supermarket Collections’. Volunteers have then organised the food to check that it’s in date and pack it into boxes ready to be given to people in need.

Our vision is for ‘more than just food’ – offering emergency food parcels but also a range of other services to help those in need, to address the underlying causes of poverty and hunger. The foodbank works with frontline agencies, particularly Doorway Advice Information and Care Service (Doorway), ran by Bell Farm Christian Centre Charity. They hold vouchers, which are used to refer people that they assess as facing financial crisis.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

1. Helping Local People in Need

The benefit of our purpose to support people in need is to feed individuals and families who for one reason or another may have difficulty in feeding themselves and/or their family. Our service improves the ability of families to care for children and achieve goals of being selfsufficient.

We’ve provided ongoing support to clients through one-to-one contact, assessing their needs and sign posting to other agencies or organisations who can address underlying issues of their poverty. We’ve been able to do this by working alongside the Doorway Advice Service ran by Bell Farm Christian Centre Charity which operates while the Foodbank is open at the Bell Farm Christian Centre and St Matthew’s Church. We also have a distribution centre at Crown Church.

The clients who’ve accessed the foodbank have been referred to an agency – with the vast majority being referred to the Doorway service. As a result, underlying issues affecting the clients and their financial situation were identified including homelessness, debt, loss of employment, low or delayed payment of wages, break-up of a family, delays or changes to benefits, asylum seekers etc. Amongst those referred benefits checks were carried out for clients, this led to resuming or applying for benefits. Advice was given to clients in debt to reduce payments to an affordable level and assistance provided to budget. There are a few individuals in the community who has been supported to get them from living off the streets, to help bring their homelessness to an end. Support has also been given to many asylum seekers by providing food as they’re only receiving NASS money, help is also given to progress their immigration case. As the underlying issues were addressed the need to access the foodbank stopped and clients were more easily able to manage their circumstances.

Their needs and housing circumstances are assessed to signpost them to other services available. This provides a holistic approach including providing hot drinks, food, and showers where available.

Clients were given food to support them through their difficult situations while at the same time referred to other agencies. Many were referred to Doorway where support and help was given to help clients out of their situation. Doorway recorded the impact on the mental health and well-being of the clients by completing questionnaires with the service users. An overwhelming amount of the clients referred stated that their feeling and anxiety levels were reduced due to the support and help provided which had an impact on their mental health and well-being.

Volunteers accepting donations at Bell Farm Foodbank distribution.

16

The foodbank distribution centres are trained to give only one voucher per client and signpost clients to Referral Agents for all subsequent vouchers. However, some clients may return to the foodbank without a voucher. Rather than issue them with a second or subsequent voucher from the foodbank, they should be getting further vouchers from an agency who is working to make a change in their circumstances such as Doorway.

Volunteers do not send them away without any food, so we supply a smaller amount of food to enable them to go to a Referral Agency the next day and then return with a voucher. We record this on a white slip and weigh-out any food provided to ensure our records are correct.

In addition, the foodbank keeps a separate record of client names using a database to avoid abuse of this. The white slips represent a visit to the foodbank by a client and we have, therefore, included them in these figures below for your information.

3. Working with the Local Community

Our charity provides a minimum of three days emergency food and support to members of the community. We’ve been able to do this by working together with commercial businesses some of which are based near our community. We’ve managed to maintain a good relationship with these businesses, and further support provided from their staff members.

There are several supermarkets in Hillingdon that has collected food and non-food items from their customers to donate to the foodbank. We’ve continued to collaborate with ASDA in Hayes where we’ve collected both food and non-food items to donate to the foodbank. We also held an Asda Collection Weekend. We’ve also continued to collaborate with our local Tesco Superstore in Yiewsley where customers can leave food and non-food items in a designated area for the foodbank to collect and provide at the distribution centres. Tesco Collection Days have been well supported by the customers. The volunteers had the opportunity to speak with customers and promote the work of the foodbank. We also expanded our collection points to the Tesco Express in West Drayton. In addition, Tesco Greenford kindly donated stock to the foodbank. Overall, we’ve been able to communicate and work well with staff members from the supermarkets to make this possible.

Vincent Raven’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ Concert contributed greatly with donations to the foodbank. Lucozade / Ribena have kindly made monetary donations towards our charity. Generous donations were also made to the foodbank from British Gas and the Co-Op in Ickenham.

We’d like to say thank you to Yiewsley Methodist Church, St Matthew’s Church, Crown Church, and Bell Farm Christian Centre for their contributions. Douay Martyrs School and Park Academy have also provided generous donations. We are always so grateful to our donors for their kindness. The local community continue to provide ongoing support to the foodbank. We are grateful to the local community for their kindness and generosity. We’re also grateful for the regular donations online as well as direct donations.

Fundraising

Fundraising is vital to helping sustain us as a charity and we’ve been able to raise funds from several sources. We’ve received donations from individuals, local churches, local businesses, and corporate businesses. We’d also like to say thank you to Space Station for its continuing support and generous contributions to the foodbank.

23

FUTURE PLANS

In 2022/23, the Trussell Trust’s foodbank network distributed almost 3 million food parcels to people in crisis – more than ever before including the covid-19 pandemic. Statistics produced from Trussell Trust shows an upward trajectory of foodbank referrals mostly due to low incomes. Also, out of almost 3 million food parcels given to people across the UK, 1 million went to children.

Yiewsley and West Drayton Foodbank plans continuing the activities outlined above in the forthcoming future subject to satisfactory funding arrangements. Plans are also being developed to further the following:

After the introduction of universal credit, inflation, and a financial crisis we can see a significant increase in the number of clients seeking help from the foodbank compared to 2021/22 due to low income. In fact, it’s the highest amount in history. There is grave concern about individuals having to choose between paying their bills or paying for groceries as there has been nationwide economic instability. Therefore, it is anticipated that the number of clients seeking help from the foodbank will continue to significantly rise over the next financial year as a result.

24

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The organisational structure used for achieving this is a foodbank, based on The Trussell Trust model.

The legal governance and compliances of the foodbank is the responsibility of the trustees who meet regularly. Face to face meetings have now resumed. The existing trustees are responsible for the recruitment of new trustees. In selecting new trustees, we seek to identify people who have the desired skills, knowledge and experience which can contribute to the successful running of the charity. We’ve selected a diverse range of dedicated and committed individuals who are willing to bring together their abilities and talents. All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration or any other kind of benefits.

After being appointed, new trustees are introduced to their role and given copies of the constitution – as well as a guide to their responsibilities and the procedures adopted by our charity. A number of publications from the Charity Commission are also provided including guidance on charities and public benefit. This ensures that all trustees including the new trustees are aware of the scope of their responsibilities under the Charities Act 2011.

All policy issues are discussed among the trustees before making a decision and relevant available data is used to ensure informed decisions are made. Notably the trustees have access to the foodbank data collection system, which enables them to monitor the utilisation by the public to gauge and measure the success accordingly.

Management Committee

Regular management meetings take place which the trustees also attend. Face to face meetings have now resumed here are also. The management committee also deals with various aspects of planning for services the foodbank provides to its clients. Mrs Julia Bennett and the trustees are members of the management committee. All members of the management committee give their time voluntarily and receive no other kind of benefits from the charity.

Foodbank Manager

Ms Marianna Bahlay was appointed the new manager for Yiewsley and West Drayton Foodbank, and we want to take this opportunity to show our appreciation for all her hard work and commitment.

The role of manager deals with the day to day running of the foodbank, overseeing all volunteers. The manager also liaises with voucher holders, agencies and the Trussell Trust including the recruitment of more voucher holders. Responsibilities also include collecting data and raising awareness of the foodbank including publicity. This information is communicated to the trustees using monitoring forms and providing updates at management committee meetings. The process of providing emergency food and support is overseen by

25

the manager. The manager also works with frontline agencies, such as Doorway, who hold vouchers, which are used to refer people that they assess as facing financial crisis.

We want to thank Marianna who has worked so tirelessly on the behalf of the foodbank.

Volunteers

The foodbank is very involved in the community and relies on voluntary help. Volunteers are often, but not exclusively, drawn from local churches and the local community. That provision of support is guided by Christian values of inclusion, compassion, and concern for social justice, ensuring consistent service for all clients. Volunteers assist at the food collection points and store food in the warehouse. Volunteers meet and greet clients who come into the foodbank. The volunteers also make clients refreshments and generally make them feel at ease. In addition, they also refer clients who attend the foodbank to agencies.

Prospective volunteers need to complete a simple application form which is then followed by an informal interview and checking references. Once a volunteer is selected then some training and an induction is carried out.

A thank you ceremony was held in November 2022 following the AGM to personally thank each of the volunteers who gave their time to helping at the Foodbank. The Mayor of Hillingdon attended where she presented each of the volunteers with a certificate.

We would like to again thank all the volunteers who worked so hard throughout the past year to make the foodbank run efficiently and competently. In particular we want to thank Mrs Ann Gaffney who has helped us in organising the foodbank’s accounts and its finances, Mr Alan Miller for previously auditing our accounts, Mr Lee Mathers for auditing our accounts for this financial year and all the other contributors to the foodbank for their valuable contributions to our charity and for keeping the foodbank running. In addition, we would like to thank Doorway Advice, Bell Farm Christian Centre, St Martins Church, Yiewsley Methodist Church, St Matthews Church, Crown Church, and Mr David Smedley of Space Station.

To show our appreciation of their hard work and dedication we’d like to take this opportunity to thank each volunteer for their grit, commitment, and sacrifice. The foodbank would not have been able to keep running without

you.

26

Thank you to all Voluntoers 2022-2023 27

Risk management

Yiewsley and West Drayton Foodbank considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and has reviewed those risks. We have systems and procedures in place to manage those risks. The trustees are satisfied that systems are in place, or arrangements are in hand, to manage the risks that have been identified. Insurance cover is in place and all relevant persons have undertaken safeguarding and first aid training. As there should be no

reason for anyone to be alone with a vulnerable person or child there is no need for Criminal Records Bureau checks to be carried out at this stage. FINANCIAL REVIEW

Main Sources of Funding

The main sources of funding for the charity came from grants and generous donations from the local community along with local businesses. As a result of increasing constraints on local authority expenditure, the charity must seek funding from a much broader group of agencies, however ongoing funding is being sought.

Generous donations have been provided from several donors some of which are Yiewsley Methodist Church, Bell Farm Christian Centre, Crown Church, and St Matthew’s Church. Bell Farm Christian Centre also has the foodbank as one of the charities they support each month. Yiewsley and West Drayton Foodbank would like to sincerely, express our gratitude for all their contributions.

Trustee’s responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing an annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which gives a true and fair view of the situation of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:

28

The trustees are responsible for keeping the proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding their assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees for the purposes of charity law who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 4.
