Chairman’s/CEO’s Report for the Year ending 31 March 2021
Chair’s Report
Four years ago, UKHarvest was founded for a simple purpose: to protect the environment by rescuing good food destined for landfill and to feed those in food poverty, provide food for the old and young alike in desperate need of the nutrition. We have remained true to our mission and continue to focus on the climate change agenda.
Over the past four years we have evolved into a National organisation, an organisation known for its collaboration, partnership work and excellent education programmes. By using food as a medium we have been able to bring isolated and lonely people together, nourishing their minds, bodies and souls. Today, UKHarvest delivers a broad range of programmes, whilst our environmental offer is still as relevant today as it was in 2017.
To rise to the challenge of doing what we do in an ever changing world, and during the Covid-19 period, UKHarvest has been through another year of extraordinary change. Extending our premises, to accommodate the growth in demand for our services: transforming our premises to deliver bespoke educational training kitchens and restaurant facilities to meet the diverse needs of the communities we support, while making sure we continue to deliver meals to the charities we support. We know that we must continue to develop and innovate our programmes to meet the diverse needs of our clients and in collaboration with our partners we will achieve sustainable change. The launch of our Nourish Hub in London will see a landmark change in our operations as we open a donate as you dine restaurant feeding local people in need, whilst providing signposting services to support our most vulnerable community members.
This year, the amazing work of the 32 strong team has raised funds, run 1000’s of education and awareness sessions and delivered millions of meals to those most in need.
I am very proud of the commitment of staff and the dedication of trustees to ensure we protect the environment and support those most in need. The pace of growth in demand for our services continues to accelerate. By rising to the challenge and securing the necessary funding to deliver our services, we have been able to be there to provide support especially when it is most in need. We acknowledge that there is still more to do, but we have laid strong foundations on which to continue expanding our services throughout the UK and to continue improving the services we offer.
Ricky McMenemy, Chair
CEO Report
The Covid 19 global pandemic has had a huge impact on the health and wellbeing of people throughout the world . Our national charity met the needs of our communities and has grown by 300% over the last year. We have been able to support those most in need of nutrition and mental health support during this time. We have supported those suffering from food insecurity but also supported those experiencing social isolation and loneliness. We supported and delivered school holiday hunger support to 1000’s of children and young people. We grew our digital presence and offered education programmes online as we were not able to work face to face with people. By supporting a regular 350,000 people each week we have made a positive difference to their lives.
As the only free food rescue organisation operating along the south coast with a presence in Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, Wiltshire and London, using research data, UKHarvest believe that when people are alleviated from food poverty they are simultaneously alleviated from social isolation to a place where they are empowered to live a fuller, heathierlife. UKHarvest is here to facilitate this transition with our NourishEd (Education Programme), surplus suppers (NourishEd Community), “donate as you dine” restaurant and community food waste awareness events.
UKHarvest’s positive impacts are only made possible because of the generous support of donors who believe in our work. Our core funder Goodman have made our hugely successful journey possible. The dedication of these donors and hundreds more like them are intrinsic to our work. We are hugely grateful for this support.
Autumn 2021 will see the launch of our London Nourish Hub, funded by The Mayor of London’s Good Growth Fund and the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. The purpose designed and built centre, which is termed a social democratic space will feed 1,000’s of people each week and provide educational opportunities for local people. This is a great achievement for such an embryonic organisation. We are also collaborating with other organisations Nationally, to enable them to use the UKHarvest model to ensure more good food doesn’t go to waste.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, it’s memorandum and articles incorporated 14 October 2016 as amended by special resolution(s) dated 23 December 2016 as registered at Companies House on 19 January 2017 as amended by special resolution registered at Companies House on 1 March 2017.
The Trustees are also the Members of the Company and, under the terms of its Articles, every Member promises, if the Charity is dissolved while he or she remains a member, or within 12 months afterwards, to pay up to £1 towards the costs of dissolution and the liabilities incurred by the Charity while he or she was a member.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Where there is a requirement for new trustees, these would be identified and appointed by the current trustees and elected by the members of UKHarvest Ltd at a General Meeting. The chair of trustees is responsible for the induction of any new trustee which involves a briefing on a trustee's responsibilities, the governing document and policies, administrative procedures, the history of the Charity and the philosophical approach of the charity. All trustees provide their services as trustees for free.
Key Management Personnel
The trustees consider that they and the chief executive comprise the key management of the charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a day to day basis. The trustees receive no remuneration.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The Trustees have identified a register of risks which they review annually.
The trustees have reviewed the risk register, the risks identified and the processes to manage or mitigate any risk. The trustees are satisfied that all potential major risks have been considered and a mitigation management process identified.
As part of this process, some of the key agreed actions are:
-
regular strategic reviews and communication of core charitable messages
-
a skills audit of trustees to mitigate loss of core skills
-
annual review of accountants’ and auditor’s performance and regular review of charitable expenditure and financial delegations
-
a clear process for back up and cyber security of data
-
trustee training and clear guidance on governance responsibilities and regulatory requirements
In looking to the future, the trustees will continue to monitor the risks associated with its operations and continue to be vigilant as to other risks that might be associated with an operational charity.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objects of the charity are the prevention or relief of poverty in the United Kingdom for the public benefit through the provision of food and the relief of hunger in particular by:
a) transporting and directly providing food from institutions with excess food to other charitable organisations and agencies whose mission is to provide food to those in need in the united kingdom;
b) advancing the education of the public with regard to food security for those in poverty in the united kingdom, including educating the public about preparing nutritious and healthy meals and cooking on a budget; and
c) by such other means as the trustees may determine.

Report of the Trustees for the Year ending 31 March 2021
Public Benefit
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives, in planning future activities and setting grant making policy for the year and that they have complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act. The trustees are satisfied that all charitable activities during the year are for the benefit of the public and the benefits of each and every activity are clearly identifiable.
-
1 We are on a mission to eliminate hunger and food waste through education and the redistribution of quality surplus food.
-
2 Likewise, to provide a framework for food rescue that can be replicated.
-
3 Raising public awareness through campaigns, information materials, media and events.
-
4 Raising awareness with influencers including government and others.
-
5 Campaigns and policy initiatives.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Charitable activities
The trustees normally meet six times a year to agree funding priorities, charitable activities, strategy and policy. The Trust Partnership handle the administration for UKHarvest and also look after the financial affairs of the charity on a day to day basis. The Charity is supported by an active network of volunteers, staff and a chief executive.
UK Harvest’s is a for impact environmental charity, established in 2017 by our CEO, Yvonne Thomson. We focus on using rescued food as a medium to educate all in the prevention of food waste and on how to cook using fresh nutritious food. UKHarvest has established itself within the UK’s saturated food rescue market from having one van and a garage to a fleet of 8 vans, a warehouse, two offices, a purpos built training and commercial kitchen, and a Nourish Hub within 4 years. We feed 350,000 people each week and rescue and redistribute up to 25 tonnes of food in a day. We collect from 200 outlets and deliver to 300 charities. We redistribute to Covid 19 Emergency Centres and deliver to those who are shielding as well as families of school children who are in receipt of food as part of our holiday hunger initiatives. We have a waiting list of charities requesting support. We have empowered over 10,000 people to improve their nutrition and quality of lives, though our bespoke education interventions.
Our core offer is intrinsically a method to help “protect the environment” through the prevention of food waste by collecting surplus food across the supply chain spectrum and redistributing it free of charge to local charities. Currently we rescue 80% perishable food. We collect food with a fleet of 8 vans operating throughout Sussex, Hampshire, Kent, Wiltshire and Greater London. This financial year we are on target to deliver 5 million plus meals to those most in need.
Our second offer is an education (NourishEd Education ) and up-skilling programme by using rescued food to provide quick and easy nutritious meals, using as much left over food as possible to also help avoid household waste. 40% of all household waste in West Sussex is edible food. This equate to 40,195 tonnes of edible food going to landfill per annum. From the social nature of sharing food, to the delivery of formal training opportunities, using local training kitchens, the NourishEd (Education ) Programme will build the capacity of the local community, in a fun way. The principles of community engagement, inclusion, community empowerment and community ownership are the core principles to NourishEd (Education Programme). The approach is asset-based and we aim to provide a democratic space for all of our activities. We facilitate people coming together to achieve positive change by enhancing their own knowledge, skills and experience around nutrition. The result is long-lasting behavioural change and personal empowerment. We work in collaboration and partnership with other charities to deliver this change programme including groups supporting young carers, Target for Teens, Church community groups, Chichester Cathedral, Stonepillow, Turning Tides, Sage House and many other organisations.
Our third offer focuses on combatting social isolation and loneliness. This programme invites vulnerable people; especially those living alone or in isolation, to supper clubs to encourage social involvement in the community, while learning to make delicious soups and receiving a premium three-course meal using entirely rescued food. Local young people from places such as Chichester College as well as volunteers support the programme, under the supervision of a trained cook.
We work around the South East focusing in the most deprived areas, where people are food insecure. We are the only food rescue charity in the area which does not charge the charities for the delivery of food and this continues to be the case. We support their business models by deliver free of charge, ensuring that their funding is spent on delivering services and not on food.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
This year we developed a pantry model, to help people on their journey from dependency on food banks to a resilient place. These pantries allow people to donate as they shop acting as a stepping stone to engage and sign post people to organisations who can support them as they move towards independence and purchasing shopping.
To keep us true to our roots, we want to be out in the community as much as we can, educating and supporting those most in need of nutrition and looking after the environment. This year we reshaped our education and events teams to do just that. We made use of an online digital platforms to ensure we could still reach those who wanted to take advantage of our services.
We moved into our new premises in Donnington , transforming the barn to a commercial and training kitchen, where can now work more intensively with our local communities and support our 100+ volunteers.
We are currently providing over 350,000 meals per week to vulnerable people in the community, rescuing food from over 200 food donors. We deliver quality surplus produce to over 300 recipient charities and have rescued 1000’s of tonnes of food from going to landfill. There is a demonstrable demand to expand our services from both donors of food, and the vulnerable people we feed. This demand continues to grow. This financial year we have grown by over 300%. expanded our donor base and have worked with new organisations such as P&O Cruises, Cunard, who have generously donated good quality food throughout the pandemic.
Our growth has become rapid over the last year and we have predicted that this trend will continue as more and more organisations become aware of the services we provide and people continue to be food insecure. As part of our plan to deliver millions of meals each year and educate over 10,000 people by 2022, we have secured two purpose built training kitchens. 2020 was the year fthat school holiday huger rocketed to the top of the political agenda, with all major parties pledging to end it. UKHarvest is excited to be part of this journey, providing and supporting school holiday hunger clubs and working alongside all partners including West Sussex county Council and Hammersmith and Fulham Council to end food insecurity, prevent food waste, protect the environment and ultimately put an end to hunger.
We are the Superheroes for Surplus Food
UKHarvest collects quality surplus food from a variety of retailers/ producers and delivers it, direct and free of charge, to incredible charities that can make use of it to support those in need. We provide much needed assistance to vulnerable men, women and children across the UK.
We rescue food from all types of food provider Providers include fruit and vegetable markets, supermarkets, hotels, wholesalers, farmers, stadiums, corporate events, catering companies, shopping centres, delis, cafes, restaurants, film and TV shoots and boardrooms.

Where we work

During the year ending 31 March 2021 the charity received income totalling £1,123,796 (2020 £351,471). The day to day management of receipts and payments is handled by the charity’s administrator and bookkeeper, with regular oversight from Trustees at meetings.
Total expenditure for the year, including fundraising, operational and charitable expenditure, was £617,031 (2020 £328,084). Net income for the year was £506,765 (2020 £23,387).

We received significant in-kind funding, in the form of food donations. Thanks are due to all of UKHarvest’s supporters in 2020/21.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the trustees to hold sufficient funds in hand to cover expenditure for the current financial year and to maintain an appropriate budget for future years to ensure that they could cover longer term commitments.
The commitments and liabilities within one year totaled £34,145 as at 31 March 2021. The Trustees considered that the cash balance of £406,322 as at 31 March 2021 was sufficient to cover these commitments.
Going Concern
The Trustees of the charity believe that there are no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
2021/22
Autumn 2021 will see the realisation of our collaborations with London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and The Mayor of London. In this partnership venture we will launch the Nourish Hub in West London with the support of LBHF and the backing of the local community. This project will feed 1,000 hungry people each week, tackle food waste in the borough and education 1000 ’s on how to nourish their minds, bodies and souls. This venue is fully funded until the autumn of 2024. We are also delivering the Health and Wellbeing programme for Adur and Worthing Council, which will see individual educated in their own homes, in group settings and within the community. We will strengthen our current joint ventures with organisations in the food waste space and will to deliver a social enterprise in the Chichester area. We will continue to add value to a variety of organisations in London. These joint ventures will see the delivery of a broad variety of educational opportunities aimed at empowering everyone from care leavers, single parents, those within schools, refugees to isolated older people.
Our pop-up restaurants and the collaborations with local food banks will continue to increase to meet the ever growing demand. We will continue to run joint fundraisers with other local charities to add value to the mission of both organisations.
We will formalise collaborations with Croydon Voluntary Action, Rethink Food, Real Junk Food Project (Brighton), the Aldingboure Trust and Southern Housing Group. These partnerships will deliver much needed services to the communities that they support and add value to the missions of the partnership organisations.
Our Covid 19 recovery plan will see us continue to have a strong online presence, with education programmes being delivered through this medium. As well as face to face sessions. The increased demand on our services due to this ever changing situation will mean we have to be as agile as we can to respond to this demand and support as many people in our communities as we can.
UKH will deliver at least 5 million meals in 2022. We will have positive educational interventions with at least an additional 25,000 people and directly feed at least 500,000 people in our own venues.
We are so excited by the opportunities that this year will bring, and we cannot wait to get started.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ending 31 March 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting convention
These accounts have been prepared for the period from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021. The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognized at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies below or the notes to these accounts. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with 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 (FRS 102) (Charities SORP FRS 102) issued on 1 January 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The accounts are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest pound.
Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
Preparation of the financial statements requires the trustees to make significant judgements and estimates. The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty or any key judgements made in the preparation of the financial statements.
Assessment of going concern
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. The trustees of the charity have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees are of the opinion that the charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due.
Income
All income is included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income, it is probable that it will be received and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
Donated facilities – where the organisation is given facilities and services for its own use which it would otherwise have purchased, these are included in the organisation’s accounts as income and expenditure when received, provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. The main type of donated facility is food which is donated by organisations, free of charge. Food donations are weighed and recorded, we do not ask the donors for the monetary value of donations for ethical reasons.
Expenditure
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. All expenditure is stated inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
Fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
| Office equipment | – | 33% on cost Vans |
– | 20% on cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Property/Improvements | – | 33% on cost/over life of asset |
Debtors
Debtors are recognized at their settlement amount, less any provision for non-recoverability. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. They have been discounted to the present value of the future cash receipt where such discounting is material.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand represents such accounts and instruments that are available on demand or have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognized when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognized at the amount the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt. They have been discounted to the present value of the future cash payment where such discounting is material.

Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.
