Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	When individuals and families access the charity, they receive enough food, including fresh bread, cheese, fruit and vegetables to provide sustenance for the week ahead. This has had the effect of relieving hunger and the stress and anxiety that is associated with this. In addition, clients have been signposted to debt advice services to help them resolve some of the causes of their food poverty – including free debt and welfare benefits advice. The benefits of this have been that the beneficiaries have reported an improvement in their health and wellbeing and in their ability to provide themselves and their families with regular and healthy meals. The Foodbank has also benefited the local community by building a strong network of volunteers (some of whom are former users of the Foodbank). Also, by developing partnerships with local community organisations, such as secondary and primary schools, uniformed groups, churches and local businesses. This has resulted in a raising of awareness about the causes of food poverty and has given these groups an opportunity to be involved in the aims and objectives of the charity.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	Our income has greatly increased over the past two years. This is mainly due to the generosity of our local community and also a number of donations after the death of one of our trustees. We are in a far healthier financial position than in previous years. This will allow us to continue to provide a service and to buy in food when donations are not sufficient to replenish our stocks. It was the fifth year we employed a Food Bank Co-ordinator.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	We have one employee, our Food Bank Co-ordinator; this person is employed on a contract for 12 months. We therefore ensure that we have sufficient reserves to pay salary, tax, NI and Pension for the 12 months ahead when we renew the contract. The funds required for this are £11666.46 per annum.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	£74,269.37
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	N/A
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24	None
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23	We need to continue to be able to cover the Food Bank Co-ordinator’s salary and associated costs every year, as well as buying food, when necessary, to maintain our stock levels. Since the start of the covid pandemic we have noticed a steady rise in client numbers. Without these funds we could not continue to run the food bank.

The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising)	Para 1.47	Our main source of income has been from donations from within our community.

A description of the principal risks facing the charity	Para 1.46	A recession with rising inflation and costs, especially energy and higher unemployment will put pressure on our operations and ability to meet the resulting increasing number of our clients.
